Sister SPAINgler's Missionary Adventures: i love spain

MY DEAR PEOPLE-

I think this was the funnest week of my whole mission!!!!!! We saw SO many miracles, met SO many fun people, planned and had a BOMB activity, and then got transfer calls.

Yes, you read that right. We have transfers this week!!! AND IM STAYING IN JEREZ FOR ANOTHER TRANSFER. This will be my fourth transfer here!!!!! Hermana Taggart is leaving ))): Apparently, she's too good for this area so they are sending her to Malaga to be the super SHE and work her magic over there, but I'm happy because I'll have intercambios with her :')))))

This week, Hermana Taggart and I put our sweat, blood, and tears into this SUPER FUN Saint Patrick's Day activity. We did a talent show and a tortilla de patata competition and we got the ward really pumped. We basically did it all by ourselves and we had such a good turn out!!!!!!! Everyone was involved in the show and everyone brought food and friends and we were SO HAPPY :-) Rocio sang the cutest song ever, the youth did a song together, the missionaries did a skit, the relief society did a dance, some people played the piano or danced or sang, etc. We had 9 investigators come!!!!!! And A TON of less actives. I've been here for two other activities and we've never had so much support, which means the ward is REALLY progressing. I'm way excited to stay another transfer to see how much we can do with the people out here.

In fact, some members this week invited us over to eat and then pulled out all their flamenco dresses and got us all dolled up and dressed up and we took a bajillion pictures hahahaha it was SO fun. I love Spain so much. I love the people and the culture and the language and the gospel and being a missionary and just everything!!!!!!

My emails have progressively gotten shorter and shorter and for that I apologize but here's a cool miracle from the week: So we have been passing by this girl named Rosi now for my whole time in Jerez and she's almost never there. But this week WE FOUND HER AT HOME. We taught her ((she's 21)) and her brother Roiner ((16)) about the restoration of the church and they both accepted baptismal dates for the 22nd of April!!!!!! The spirit was so strong when we shared the first vision. The spirit always confirms to me that this is the church of Jesus Christ and that it has been restored. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet and that he truly saw God and Jesus Christ. I know that the Book of Mormon is physical evidence of this and you can know it for yourselves - you just need to read it!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL
