Hey my beautiful family :) I miss you guys! But guess what, I freaking love Spain. AH SO MUCHHHHH!!!! I'm gonna move here and do missionary work the rest of my life, sound good? But seriously. So guess what happened....we did NOT have a baptism....(sad music)...but todo está bien! Ready for some funnny/what-the-heck stories? sweeeeeet
SO! We were supposed to have a baptism for our cute 10yr old Madeleeg and adorable 15yr old Jose. Welllll, Jose had to get permission from his mom and it turns out that she is super against it and then he kinda just started to avoid us and we havent seen him in like 10 days. Yeah. Super sad. THEN. Madeleeg....ohhhh my gosh haha. We go to her house the day before her baptism. It's like a 20 min bus ride to Aguadulce....ps, this place is GORGEOUS! My favorite place ever :) and we go to her house so we can get her baptism interview done and get her baptized. We go there and it's like hurricane class winds. OH MY HECK! HOLY WIND! EN SERIO! It was like knockin over trees and houses....kinda lol. We go to her house and there is no sign of her or her fam. We call like 10 times. No answer. We walked EVERYWHERE to try and find her in the hurricane wind. Then after like 20 mins of looking and calling, it's starts downpouring. Just raining like the world was going to end. We were like....wwhhhaaaat the heeeeck is goin on! We were semi laughing hysterically during all of this though, so no worries haha. We were just like, "how could this get any worse?" and then it just starts raining and blowing harder. It was the funniest night of my entire life. OH yeah, it was pitch black too. Quite the adventura, ey? hehe YEAH SPAIN STORMS! WOOOOO!
There ya go, no baptisms and we never found out what happened to Madeleeg and her fam. They never called. We just found out through some random person that they went out of town...greeaaat. We'll try to find them though and get in contact. Other than that we have had some awesome experiences with other investigators! Celia, our newer investigator, came to church!!! We were soooo shocked haha. We didnt expect to have anyone come and she totally did! She loved it and just loves learning more and accepted a baptism date...kinda. It's still kinda up in the air lol. She is also really rich, so she has a house maid that may also be interested in the Church. YAYYYY!
Let me just say that ANY success that we have had is all because of THE MEMBERS. The members are so so so soooooo key to everything. Celia was a from a member and through her we can easily baptize like 4 more people and then those 4 other people have famillies and friends too and the it ends up to baptizing the world. It just all begins with ONE MEMBER who gives us a referral and continues to work with us. So, members, HELP US! lol, all we are going is working with members. We are cutting back on contacting in the streets because it's ridiculous and you get like 1 person baptized out of contacting 300 people. Luckily the members here are BOMB! freakin love them.
The weather continues to get warmer and right now we are in Granada and I LOVE IT! Granada is SO PRETTY! We are gonna go hit up the Lambra...i think it's called...some 7 world wonder thingy...no big deal. I am then traveling to Malaga all by myself to the mission home to get my official spain ID. That'll been interesting to travel for 12 hrs round trip...alone. PARTYYYYY!!! haha love you guys!!! Thank you for all your love and letters and helping me through the hard times of the mish.
Keep on reading those scriptures and spreaing the Gospel. This life is about the gospel...not you...so get to work. hehe, did I sound like a legit missionary?? that was my goal lol but en serio, dooooo itttttt! blessings will just pour out on you! YEAH! Love you guys!
love,
Hermanita Daly
