Another Good Week!

Hi everyone! Well we didn´t have quite as many people to visit this week but it was still a really good week. I´m trying to think of everything that happened as I´m typing! Well we had english class again but the spiritual thought went a little better this time. Nobody argued at all! How nice right? Afterwards we taught an 18 year old girl in the church. She is actually the zone leaders investigator but she wants me to teach her because she says she trusts me and has more confidence around me and Elder Reynolds. So we team taught her with the zone leaders. One of the zone leaders was really bold with her about baptism to see if she was really interested and she started crying and said "can I do it later because I´m really nervous right now." Haha we explained we just wanted to set a date with her right now. She said she will think about it. I think it will happen. On Sunday we had stake conference in a big theater on the outskirts of Barcelona and it was great. Two members of my ward spoke and it was fun listening to them because they are like my friends here in Barcelona. They have both finished their missions within the last 5 months and help me out all the time. Their names are Elias Guerrero and Hugo Estigarribia. Two of our investigators came to the conference and they loved it! One was the wife of the less active member. Her name is Vanessa and she is really sweet. We weren´t able to meet with her to set a baptismal date though. The other investigator was Emili. He is the Spanish man I have been teaching. I didn´t even know he was there until a member told me. So I went back in to find him and we saw him talking with President Hinckley and the stake president with his counselors! Then when he saw me he said "Langston!" and he came up and gave me a big ol hug!. I think he really enjoyed the meeting and felt the spirit. Anyway, after the conference all the members were out in the lobby area talking and I have never felt so much love from my ward! Everytime I saw someone from my ward they acted so excited to see me. I kept hearing people yell my name and I was getting hugs left and right haha. Its going to be hard for me to leave this area. I really love the people here. The work is tough in Barcelona but the members are amazing. I think we are going to have to push back the date with Vicente. He just isn´t progressing and I want to make sure we baptize a real convert. Thats the motto of this mission. We baptize converts. Well as you can probably tell I am still loving my mission and I love it more and more every single day. I know this church is God´s kingdom on earth and that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to its fullness. I love you all and thanks again (like always) for your love and support. Until next week Love, Elder Langston
