A Really Good Week

Hey everybody! This week was a lot better than they have been in the past. We got in a ton more houses and even found some new people to teach! I´m excited because maybe it means things are going to start picking up here. I was blessed this week to feel the spirit stronger than I have for awhile. I think I was starting to get frustrated because I was trying my hardest to make things happen here in Crevillente and I had nothing to show for it. But this last week, no matter what happened I decided to tell myself to keep trying and I knew my Heavenly Father was pleased with me. We had a few appointments this week where I felt the spirit so strong. I love when that happens because my spanish just flows perfectly and I can tell that the people I am teaching understand everything. It feels so good. Yesterday my talk in sacrament meeting went really well. I spoke on miracles and what our role is as members and full time missionaries regarding missionary work. I decided to share the experience of Silvias baptism. How she had investigated the church for so long but still didn´t feel ready. I told her how she came to Vanessa´s baptism and thats when she decided to be baptized. When I told them that Silvia was baptized in my last week in Barcelona I started to get choked up and I didn´t know why. I wasn´t expecting it! I felt dumb but it went really well. It was funny because the sign language translator just stopped and looked up at me which made me feel even more dumb. Oh well! It just made me realize how much this mission means to me and all the good things I am experiencing and learning. I feel so blessed to be here. I love how I can focus on the Lords work for 2 straight years and get to know my Savior so well. Being here in Crevillent has taught me how to rely on the Lord more because things aren´t always easy. I know He has felt everything I am going through and that gives me so much comfort. I love you all and thanks again for all you do. You are the best! Have a great week. Love, Elder Langston
