La Gran Cuarantena II

Hola!! 

How is everyone?? I am praying that you all are safe and healthy during these times. 

I am doing good. Sometimes quarantine can be rough but I am grateful to our wonderful mission president and his wife for encouraging us every day. I am also grateful to have my companion. She is awesome. 

Well nothing too exciting has happened this week other than we got our hot water fixed after a week of it being broken so that was a HUGE blessing. Right after the guy came to fix it we took a shower and wow it was heavenly. Also, this a guy came to our door and delivered us a burger from grubhub or something and I told him we didn't order a burger he told us it was ours. We knew it wasn't so we had a big desion to make: eat the burger or try to find its rightful owner. We decided to find its owner to we took a little adventure around our building and eventually found the owner of the burger. He was super nice and thanked us. Ya super exciting story I know. Just a day in the life of a quarantined missionary trying to do the heroic thing. 

Ya I'm sorry I don't have much to report jaja. A little more on the spiritual side, I have been studying a lot on the atonement of Christ and wow my gratitude has grown a bunch. In some languages atonement is translated to "a tight embrace" I love the imagery in this. The Savior is waiting for us to come to Him so he can wrap his arms around us in a tight, loving embrace. I know that in the Savior's arms we can find refuge and safety from the world's storms. 

I love you all and hope that you feel of the Saviors love for you a little more this week. 

Con cariño,

Hola!! 

Wow thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. I really am so grateful for you all and for the opportunity in have to be a missionary in España! I'm blessed to still be here. Although it's different, we are finding creative ways to teach and meet people though working online. 

Being in quarantine I've had a lot of time to think and study the scriptures. I've seen such a difference in myself when I take time to really ponder and learn from the words of God. The scriptures have a power to them. They strengthen us when we read them, they bring us peace, and bring us closer to our Savior Jesus Christ. I am so thankful for the knowledge I have that I am a child of God and that my Savior Jesus Christ died for me. He know exactly how I'm feeling and exactly how you are feeling. He knows we are in crazy times. He is waiting for us to reach out and grab him hand. I can promise that as we focus more on our Savior we will be strengthened and filled with his love. 

I was grateful for the opportunity I had to participate in a fast this past Sunday. It was beautiful to think of so many people joined together for one cause. I know God hears our prayers and that he is a God of miracles. Like our prophet has said, "this will be temporary". I hope we all take some extra time to reflect on our Savior and our blessings. I know as we do this will feel a lot better. I love you all so much! Have a great week!!
