Valencia - Week Four

How faaahhh! (that's my African how are you... did you remember?)

So we had a really good week this week! We had some super good visits.

Also last Monday we went to an aquarium here, it was pretty cool, sorta pricey, but the dolphin show was pretty legit at least.. I sent a few pics from it. I was proud of them.

Anyway, so one girl we are teaching, Madelina, accepted a baptismal date this week! She has the goal to be baptised the 21st of this month. The only problem is her mom, who is pretty against the idea, but we are hoping we can change her mind when we visit with her.

As well, our investigator Ana and her daughter Nicole also accepted a baptismal goal for the 21st! They were sort of hesitant, but were willing to try for it at least. Ana has been reading and progressing thus far. They told us they would try to come to church so we went to pick them up and Abi (the less active husband) told us they were all sleeping and that they would try to come to the afternoon church, but they didn't end up coming, so that was a bummer.

I feel like we are making good progress with the members though. Yesterday a member brought us to meet her family to do a family home evening and it went really well. We watched the Because of Him video and talked about the Atonement. The Spirit was really strong and I thought our lesson went super well. Also we all became BFFs because they are Colombian and I LOVE Colombians. So we had a bonding moment and they told us we can come back and make arepas with them some time. So that was sweet.

We found a Spaniard man named Salvador the other night as we were contacting. He's catholic, but he said he is open to learning about other religions. We taught him about the Book of Mormon, and he said he would read. He's super great.

Our other new, Mauricio, we are going to teach tonight, he couldn't meet with us last week, so hopefully we can set a baptismal goal with him too.
Last time we met with him he told us he just needs a push in the right direction.

Anyway, life here is good. I am really loving working more with the members. Almost all of the people we are teaching, we found through a member, so that's really cool. Also we get to run every morning! It's been super nice. My companion is super great, I am learning a lot from her. This transfer is flying by! I love you all! Have a great week!
