Guess who had an awesome week! We diddddddddd! Seriously though, it
was pretty great. We decided that Heavenly Father gave us a rough
start so that we wouldn't get too cocky haha. We've already been
blessed with so much success and we work so great together. If we keep
it up, we're going to see so many more miracles these next two
transfers!!
My new co pie in the mission home right after being assigned together!
So first, quick update--my companions feet are pretty much healed! We
took an entire day off so she could just recover and the members were
so nice about gives us rides to the meetings we couldn't miss so she
was able to get the rest she needed. What a trooper though. Not
exactly the funniest experience to have the first week of your
mission!
And another update, guess what I have learned this week--I actually
know Spanish!! There is definitely a difference between having a
native Spanish speaker as a companion and having someone just starting
out. Not gonna lie, I would get so down on my Spanish when I was with
my other companions because they spoke perfectly and next to them I
felt like I just sounded so dumb. But now there's so much depending on
me and my ability to communicate with everyone that I feel like my
Spanish has grown so much just in these past two weeks. and I've seen
the Lord's hand this week, guiding and helping me. The gifts of
tongues is real, guys!! I can't tell you how many people we visit who
I could barely understand before or people who could barely understand
me before and now we communicate with almost no problem. It's
incredible and very humbling. I know that the Lord qualifies us for
each calling that he gives us! And plus, I don't have to worry at all
about Hermana Anderson. She's been learning Spanish for only 2 months
but she already teaches in every lesson and is an expert contacter.
The people just love her! She's just so cute and happy, she's my
secret weapon haha I always make her talk to the grumpy people because
she just melts their hearts. So yeah, we're a good team!
What else, what else....we might have 2 baptisms this weekend, Clara
(the most amazing person ever!) and her son Oscar who gets back from
Germany tomorrow. But if there's one thing I've learned on my mission
it's that Heavenly Father's will is often different than our plans.
But that's because He can see the bigger picture and He knows what's
best for each one of us! So we'll see what happens!!
We also have a recent convert from Nigeria who has been sharing the
gospel like a machine with her friends so we still have two baptismal
dates for later this month too :) I love seeing the work here
progressing!
So nothing new has been going on here, just lots of walking and it's
HOT. We were going to walk up the mountain to the castle today but all
the Young Adults chickened out because there's a national heat warning
and all us missionaries are just like yeah...we'll be proselyting in
that later today haha. But The Lord definitely does bless us--that I
can't deny! And it's a small price to pay to do His work!
And plus, I have an amazing comp who just makes everything so much
more fun! I love her so much! I felt like we've been together forever
(in a good way, come on) and it's only been two weeks! JaƩn is just
incredible. I've really learned how to be a true missionary here from
the companions I've served with, from my missionary leaders here, from
the help and love we receive from the ward, and of course from
learning the lessons Heavenly Father has wanted me to learn here. I
have a long time left here (hopefully until August) but I already know
I'm going to be sad to leave! I am just in love with everything right
now, especially the being a missionary part.
I LOVE THE MISSION!
It's
the best thing that has ever happened to me and for all you young ones
out there, I promise you that you can only regret NOT going on a
mission. I love this gospel, I love my savior, and I love sharing my
testimony and seeing the faith of others grow here in southern Spain.
Find a way to share the gospel every day! Even if it's just by posting
a Mormon Message or your favorite scripture on Facebook. And there
you'll find true happiness! I promise.
Anyways, I love you all so much!! Have an amazing week!!
HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!
Love,
Hermana Morrow
Our first day we tried to make brownies but we didn't have cocoa
powder or vanilla so we used hot chocolate mix and honey instead and
it actually turned out pretty good! (Aka We ate the entire pan in two
days)
Kebap is the closest thing that you can find here in Spain to a NYC
gyro, if we had a national mission food this would be it
We taught a family about Family Home Evening and made them a chart
