Feliz Semana Santa!! It is the Holy Week here in Spain instead of Easter and I am scared to death!! haha I don't want to see the scary parades of huge crosses with Christ on it...No me gusta para nada. I hope it isn't too bad here in Almería because it's just a small city. Málaga is gonna be so sketch though. We are actually going to Málaga this week for a conference and I'm stoked! That means we get to hang out with Hna Brimhall again!!! YAYYYYY!! Trio reunited! SCORE!
So this week was soooo slow. Holy heck. AND I have been rejected so hard core this week by the Europeans. Dang these people can be brutal. Every single contact I did this week on the street was a slap in the face haha. I had about 3 people that shook their finger RIGHT in my face and said nothing and zoomed past me. Hna Martín, however, thought it was the funniest thing ever. She would just laugh and then give me a hug and laugh some more. I would just be like, "allllriiiighty then, you just missed out on the GREATEST MESSAGE EVER! Take LUCK! (Bryan Regan)" So yeah, it was quite the week. We just roamed the streeets alllll week and I have learned that the Spaniards are OBSESSED with Adele. They play her little fire rain song like 80 times a day up and down the streets. I am going to burn that song. haha jk, it's just super funny. I also learned while walking on the streets (of Loreno...Wedding Planner reference) that I am the worst with a map. We use our huge touristy map everywhere we go. We have been trying to contact Antiguos...old investigators and they live in the sketchiest places!
STORY TIME! OH MY GOSH oh my gosh oh my gosh. You will NOT believe what happened to us poor little hermanas. Oh my gosh get ready. So we were trying to find this antiguo lady one night and she lived in this building that looked like it was from 21 AD...it was just so old and so gross and we were like...allrighty then, lets not get kidnapped tonight. We knock on her disgusting wooden door with no handle and this little old lady that looks exactly like the crazy Gothem witch lady on enchanted...when she's ugly and has no flower magic...and she had a mole on her chin with hair and was like, "woah, hello guapas, wow, sois muy guapas. Pasen, Pasen"....we were like, ummm we havent even said a word and she was like COME IN! So we couldnt say no. We go in and just try and picture this: little rats running EVERYWHERE I saw like 12 just running across this spacious room with one little light bulb and a half eaten cow leg on the table. Then there were cockroaches eeeeevvverywhere. On the sofas, on the food, everywhere. We were like, oh my gosh, get us out of here. We ended up talking to her for FIFTEEN TORTEROUS MINUTES!! ohhhhh my gosh. We just said like a quick prayer and just jetted out of there so fast. Ew. Funniest and grossest experience of my life. haha Hna Martín was like, I have never ever ever had that happen in my mission before. hahaha
On to better news...Celia, our only investigator is progressing and we hope to have her baptized in 2 ish weeks. She is golden, but just has a lot of issues to get taken care of. The members are still Bomb. LOVE THEM! They are so awesome and we are working really hard with them to get references and get this work going. We are kinda in a rut and are trying to find people. Lots of praying and faith.
Updates on the BOM: So our mission is finishing up the BOM together and I was reading in 3 Ne 28:25-32 a lil while ago and had my MIND BLOWN!!! I love how there are three nephite apostles on the earth preaching to places that we cant get to....like CHINA!! YEAHHHH! So epic. I love this gospel. I get more and more excited to preach it every day. I love Almeria and I love my comp! And Spanish is FINALLY starting to pick up. YESSSS! I love you all! Have fun in Hawaii, family....Im so jealous haha have a great week!
love,
Hermanica Daly
