BLESSINGS DO COME!

So I don't know if you remember, but we had a pretty
bizarre/crazy/ridiculous-to-a-point-where-all-we-could-do-was-laugh
beginning to our transfer and these curveballs from heaven just seem
to keep on comin! Haha for the first couple weeks I would tell Hermana
Anderson, "I promise you this is not what the mission is really like!
Next week will be normal !" But I seemed to have forgotten that the
mission is NOT normal! It's discouraging and physically and
emotionally exhausting but it's also the best thing ever. The most
amazing thing I have ever had the opportunity and blessing to do. And
something I would never give up for anything in the world! So yeah we
had another rough week but it ended on a good point and that's all
that matters. The blessings do come! That's one thing I have a strong
testimony of--sometimes they take time and sometimes they come after a
lot of sacrifice but they do come!!

So I ran out of time so I'm only going to share the happy stuff woohoo!!
First, Oscar, our investigator, came back from Germany this week and
we threw him a party in the church and it was soooo fun! He's awesome
and we're going to hike to the castle with him and the Elders and
other young adults today for Pday!! Hopefully his mom will be baptized
this week! They're both amazing and have such strong testimonies.
Clara has had the lessons pretty much like twice and has been
listening to General Conference daily for almost months! I've never
met someone so prepared to receive the gospel and she's finally taking
this next step this week!! Ahhhhh I love her so much!! She's an
incredible incredible person and I'm so glad to have been able to meet
and teach her these past couple months.

My favorite cita of this week was when we visited with our Frenchie
friends. We had invited them to baptism before and they weren't able
to be baptized but they are just SO good. Such good people that we
felt that we should invite them again. We shared the video of Christ
getting baptized and read in the Book of Mormon about following
Christs example and I felt the Spirit So strong. Okay so as a
missionary I feel like we are just blessed to have the Spirit with us
so often and if we are obedient and doing the things we should, we
SHOULD have the Spirit with us 24/7. And then after living like that
for almost a year and being used to feeling Him constantly, it's not
been as often where I've felt The Holy Spirit so powerfully. But this
time was different. We invited them to be baptized and they wanted to
follow Christs example so badly. They're so ready and I've never met
people with such a strong desire! But they explained to us their
struggles in their lives and that they know they can't make this
covenant with God if they are unable to come to church and renew their
promise with Him every week. Man I'm not giving this experience any
justice, I wish I could explain it better. It was just so powerful to
be with people who treasure baptism and who truly know and feel what
it means to do it. And they said they believed that when their
circumstances change and when it's the Lords will, they will make that
next step!! I've never seen so much faith before.

And to end, yesterday we went to stake conference in Granada, which
included the Malaga stakes too so President and Hermana Deere were
there!! We got to say our goodbyes, as the new mission president
arrives the 30th of June. AHHHHHH SO SAD!! I love love love them both
so much, I don't know how we'll be able to let them go!! But I'm so
grateful for the time we had together and the miracles we've seen as a
mission. They're both incredible people who I will look up to for the
rest of my life.

I love the mission guys! I've never been more tried but I've also
never been so happy! I have a quote on my wall that says, "Heavenly
Father cares more about your growth than He does about your comfort"
and I feel like Heavenly Father definitely wants me to grow haha! I'm
improving and becoming better every day and I feel Him molding me into
the person He wants me to become and I can't ask for anything better.
I will serve Him for the rest of my life and for the eternities after!
I love my Father, I love my Savior, and I love being a missionary in
Spain. And I love you all too!! Have a great week!!

HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!!
Love,
Hermana Morrow
