Same old Same old

Whats up!

 

So I guess my letter was super short last week because everyone said something about it! haha Sorry! Sometimes I just feel like my letters are super repetitive and I have nothing new to write! haha I will try to do a little better!

 

So this past week was a great week! We saw a lot of miracles and a lot of success! It all started last P day! Unfortunately we didnt go to Camp Nou because last minute we went with the other missionaries to this park. We will be headed to Camp Nou today! This park we went to last week was called Park Guell. It is filled with a bunch of arcitecture from a guy names Guadi. Not exactly sure who he is, but from what I have heard, he was an incredible man who designed a bunch of famous buildings here in Barcelona. He was the one who designed the main part of the Sagrada Familia. (Still on the list of things to see, but it is super exspensive to go inside!) But anyway... The thing I do know, is that he was hit by a bus and that is how he died... Just an interesting fact! haha So anyway, It was a really cool park and I will send some pictures next week as well as some pictures from Camp! I forgot my card reader...

 

After P day we got to some hard work! Our area is still laking people to teach and we are trying hard to find the elect here in Badalona. So we had a ton of visits with new potential investigators. We had two really great visits with two small families. They both are from Bolivia, and we were able to set baptisal fetchas with both of them for the 4th of May! we are really excited! One couple named, Roberto and Ayde are really prepared! I am really excited about them and they are pretty solid! They just need to start readding the Book of Mormon! The others are, Santos and Epinefia. They are great and have a little girl! They will be a little more work and we are hoping to land another visit with them this next week. We also have a baptismal date with a Spanish lady named Magdalena for this next weekend. She is super prepared to be baptized! She says she doesnt feel like she has recieved her answer, but then she always describes that when she prays, reads, and comes to church it makes a huge difference in her life and how she feels something good inside her that keeps telling her to come and to learn. We have been working with her to recognize her answer. She says she wants to be baptized, just when she knows. Im not worried, I am hoping this week, but if not this week. Im am pretty sure the 4th will be her day. We still have somethings to teach her as well. Oh yeah, we also found a great man named Mikro from Peru. He is great and more than ever, he is looking for change in his life. He came to us and told us of some problems he is experiencing right now and how he wants to be closer to his family! Well perfect!!! This is exactly why we have to gospel!!! He has friends, sisters, cousins, and all kind of family that are members and he said he wants to find, what they all have! It was an amazign miracle! He also has a fetcha for the 4th! The 4th could be an amazing day! :)

 

Other than that, it was the same old same old.. We had a couple more lessons with some people that tried to bible bash us... We knocked a lot of doors, all the old catalan men slammed them in our face like normal haha, and this week we also had someone shoot a noise tasser gun at us through the door! haha It was like those things the Japanesse fishermen us on Whale Wars!!! haha Elder Sutton and I just looked at eachother and started laughing way hard!!! A simple, no im not too interested would have worked just as well! haha!

 

Anyway, Sounds like everything at home is going well. Congrats to everyone on there big wins this week! Sounds awesome! Wish I could be there to see everyone play! Ryan looks HUGE in those photos! Dont worry, I will still take him! haha Keep up the good work everyone! Well I hope this letter was long enough... haha

 

Love you all tons!

 

Love

P.S. I love the story about Ryan "having a talk" with that kid! Did Ryan make him pee his pants a little bit? Ryan looks so big, I think he could make me pee my pants! haha Honestly, it reminded me of out family scripture, "Tight Like a Dish" NOBODY, messes with the Carrigans. You want to mess with one of us, you get ALL of us! haha Love you guys!
