I hope you all had an epic St. Patrick's Day!! I failed at wearing green because that is currently not a part of my missionary wardrobe haha. I need to buy some cute Spain skirts!! Anyways, GUESS WHAT...TRANSFERSSSSSS!! Woot woot!! And the big news IS....Hna Daly and Hna Martín stay in Almería and Hna Brimhall is going the Málaga to open up a new area AND to train a newbie that is from Madrid!!! CRAZY!! We all knew that I would be staying with Hna Martín though...so not a huge a surprise, but that is so cool about Hna Brimhall!!! She is going to own it up. Love that girl. She will do great things (She's the man quote). I am super super stoked to have my native companion all to myself :) I am now forced to only speak Spanish due to the lack of her English. Love it! Yet, I am scared out of my mind because we all know that I will be training or I will be the senior comp here in Almería for a few more transfers. This will be my home for the next 3-4 months. YEAH! I love it :) I feel comfortable about staying here and training the future 19yr old newbies. YEAHHHHH.
So this week was kinda a weirdy yet, super awesome. I traveled to Málaga all by my lonesome self and had a fiesta! It was super super fun. All of my peeps that came to Spain with me were all reunited at the Mission Home and it was a blast! I was sad that Hna Stark wasn't one of them...but that's ok! Hna Jarvis and I were the only sisters out of our huge group and we had a lot of fun together! I'm finally legit with my Spain ID! I was in the Mission Home for a night and we were fed super well and had some good times with our group and the Mission Pres' family. Love them!!! They are the greatest people on this planet.
After my wild trip to Málaga, I returned back to my Mamas haha aaaand we have some new investigators! Yayyyyy! Our bomb investigator, Celia, has a pretty set baptism date for the 23rd..this Saturday and we went over to teach her and SURPRISE, her cousin and his two sons were there!! So we were like, heck yes, lets teach these peeps. So, we were having a great lesson about the BOM and Celia was tearing up so much and just crying in the corner. I was like, umm I hope those are tears of joy...haha We then asked her to give the closing prayer and we all kneeled down and she just poured out her heart in the prayer. In the prayers she said that she was super grateful for us and that her cousin happened to be at her house so that we could teach him about the Gospel. She also said that she couldn't wait to be baptized and that she loves this Gospel so much. It was the sweetest prayer ever!!!!!!!! Us three left lesson on freaking cloud 9. We were like, "OH MY GOSH! That cousin and his sons are going to be baptized!!" We all had the same feeling that this family was super special. SCORE!! The Lord is blessing is SO MUCH! I think he knows that we are still recovering from our depression with our other golden investigators, Madeleeg and Jose, that disappeared and don't want to talk to us....This was such a tender mercy and we are so incredibly greatful!
Our other awesome family from Ecuador, Familia Almeida are still doing pretty good. Milton, the dad, came to church (like always) :) and of course Celia came to church. I LOVE CELIA! She looooves church haha She just sits there and has the biggest smile on her face the whole 3 hrs. AWWWW :) But yeat, Familia Almeida are progressing...ish haha The mom and dad are doing great...the kids are kinda like whatevs and aren't showing the biggest interest, but are still super nice!
Updates from the Calle (street): We are having suuuuch difficulties in trying to get more futuros from contacting! But, we have a funny rule. The rule is that you have to contact every single Chino (chinese person) you see. It doesn't matter how old they are, you have to contact them. So, awesome Hna Daly was just on the hunt to find a Chino and I saw one off in the distance and I though, "Yes, I am going to contact the heck out of this Chino." My comps were just chit chattin and I was just keeping the eyes on the prize. The China..(chinese girl)...was just passing me and I just stopped her and kinda freaked her out with my sneaky popping out skills and was like, "HOLA!!! Sup, we're a big deal, so listen"....ok not really, but I just presented us and she was like, "oh no, sorry, im buddhist..." She looked super frightened hahaha it was super funny, but I just gave her a card and gave a quicky testimony and moved on. It was fun :) Our plan is to baptize lots of Chinos and then that will be the starting point to baptizing China!! Yes!!
Well, here is the end to the epic trio...so sad. But, get ready for some work to get done with Martín and Daly in the HOUSE! OW! Have a great week, fam. I am so glad that everyone is doing great and being happy!! I read Utchdorf´s freaking awesome talk from this last conference about having no regrets and living life as happy as possible. LOVE IT! Be happy no matter your circumstances :) LOVE YOU GUYSSSSS!!!!!
Love love loooove,
Hermanica Daly
