Valencia - Week Sixteen

Hey Fam! Can you believe summer is over? Didn't it just start? Holy wild.

So Valencia was like an OVEN this week. One day, we left district meeting and it was 108 outside.. for real. Super wild. I have never felt that kind of heat in my life. And it's humid. But let's get real, we love it, the weather keeps us on our toes haha.

Anyway, it was a super good week! I don't remember any of it haha, once the day goes by, I need my agenda to even remember what happened.

I'll give some highlights.

We made some progress with a part member family we are working with! Only the mom is a member, and this last week, she invited us over for dinner. It was just her and the two kids at home but it was really good, I feel like we're starting to develop a good relationship with her, so that was a really good miracle.

As well, one of our investigators, Barry came to church! Idk if I have told you about him. He's 23 and from Cuba, we hadn't seen him for a while but we were able to see him this past week and he came to church on Sunday! He seemed to enjoy it as well, so that's exciting.

I was in Barcelona yesterday for concilio and today we had a zone conference with President and Hermana Pace. It was a really great spirit filled weekend. I feel like it really gave me a whole new energy to work really hard and to use every minute I've got here. It was a really incredible time, I love being with the Paces. They are really incredible people.

Also, so something really neat is that every stake in our mission as well as all of the missionaries in the mission have a goal to start and finish the Book of Mormon together, from now until the end of the year. As we read we are going to study the attributes and testimonies of Jesus Christ. We did this last year, and it was a really incredible experience, and it helped build my testimony a ton. So I was wondering... if you, dear family, would want to join in as well? :) I'll send the attachment with the reading schedule. (have tytyb2 translate it for you) I think you only have to read two chapters a day, and we will finish at the end of December. To be honest, I would love if you joined with me. I think it would be a really incredible experience for our family, to all be reading together in unity. So I'll let you think about it :) we started yesterday, but today's not too late to start!

I love the Book of Mormon. Every time I read it, I feel my Savior´s love. I know it's true with my whole heart. I know that every time we read from it, we can learn so much. It was preserved for our days, and it should be studied frequently and carefully. It is a blessing in my life.


Anyway, I love you all lots and lots. More than you know. Keep being great :)
Hermana REID

Also the other day someone said something about how he had heard about "Hermana Reid Speed" haha apparently I walk fast..

inspector frassy legs.

haha. Nick.

One more thing

So I haven't eaten blueberries in over a year right? I know, imagine that cuz they are hard to find and when I find them they cost so much money for not that many blueberries. So I never buy them. sad life right? Like what is a life without blueberries? haha k that's weird. But you know what I mean.

Anyway, so I got back from concilio on Sunday, and my sweet companion had put a container of blueberries on my shelf in the fridge with a note that said "I love you just as much as you love blueberries" How sweet is that? So today, I ate my first blueberry in FOREVER. It was good. I took a video too. Too far? Maybe. But its fine. Anyway, I just thought that was cute and wanted to share it.
