I just gotta say that I am soooo glad that we have part of one day a week to rest a little, ha-ha. This week we walked....quite a bit. It was a good week in the fact that we worked hard, we talked with a lot of people about the gospel, and we were doing all that we could to help others come to Christ. But man we walked a lot, ha-ha. We're kinda in the process of finding new people who are ready to listen and receive the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. We have a lot of people who want to listen and are willing to let us in but they don't progress a lot at all. So, we've stopped visiting a few and we're focusing on finding. The week went well though. It feels good coming home after a day of a lot of hard work, knowing that you did your best to fulfill your call as a missionary that day. :) Things overall are going great here! :) I'm learning the area and getting to know the members and other people here and I love it!
Earlier this week it started to warm up and then one day we were eating at home and I looked out our balcony to look at the water and all I saw was a wall of
low-lying clouds, and it ran all the way up the coast! It was kinda scary at first to be honest too, ha-ha. It seriously was just a wall of darker clouds and was moving towards us really fast! We had no idea what was going on and we actually called president to see if we could listen to the radio for a second to see what was going on, ha-ha. But there was nothing on. It turns out it was just really really thick fog! The warm air that we had gotten was just clashing with the colder air over the water and didn't mix too well, and then all this fog just rolled upland. Pretty neat though, ha-ha.
This past Thursday I went back to Tarragona with Elder Corbitt to pick up my residency card. I was pretty excited to go back and just be there again but it wasn't that exciting, ha-ha. We had to buy our own ticket for the train first off and then we got there, picked up my card within 10 minutes, and then that's it.:( We stopped by the Elders there and ate some of their food and then we had to leave again. So that was my "exciting" trip back to Tarragona. It was Elder Corbitt's first time there though so he enjoyed it, ha-ha.
Yesterday in church I had to give a talk. I got the assignment last week and so I knew about it all week and it went fairly well I think. It was about how sharing the gospel is sharing love. I wrote it all out in my little study journal and I knew that I wasn't going to say everything I wrote, and that I was going to say things that I didn't write. That's what usually happens, ha-ha. But it's good because I can look up and just talk to people the whole time! :) It's good practice for when I get home and have to speak too, ha-ha. I also had to play the piano in church as well which I haven't done since I left Mataró! I thought for sure that there would be someone who could play the piano in this ward since it's a pretty decent size for a ward here in Spain but nope! So I got to play and it looks like I'll probably be playing every week. I guess I better start practicing in my free time so that I don't totally sound bad at it. Luckily I can read music, ha-ha.
Things here are going great like always. We had an inactive member family come to church yesterday which was really exciting. We were working with them to get them to come and everything and most of them did :) We're still working with them to get them to come regularly now and to start reading and praying more often together as a family. Hopefully they progress and start doing it on their own soon.
I hope all is well back in the States and that you're all happy and healthy :) Miss you all and love you lots!
