Well hello hello. How y'all doing? I'm doing awesome but really tired. P day came at just the right time haha. It feels like I have been running all over this week. Monday we got back from Gibraltar and on Tuesday I went to Jerez to do an exchange with an elder. When I got back home on Wednesday I had to change and hop right back on a bus to Chiclana to do an exchange and a couple of baptismal interviews. The rest of the week was just running all over the city trying to find people to teach. We taught Rafa again and he loved the lesson. We just talked about the importance of prayer and reading the scriptures regularly. There was a strong spirit present during the lesson and Rafa really felt it. Another thing that helped the Spirit be there was that Rafael's mother in law was there. She is a member but has been inactive for years and years. She testified that she knows the importance of reading and praying and that she has seen the difference in her life as she has put those things on hold during the last few years. She told us that we have helped her so much in the last few weeks and that when she gets back home its time to go back to church and start living the gospel again. It made us so happy to hear that. This week we also taught María and Armando. I don't know if I have talked about them in the past but they are an equatorian couple that we teach weekly. We had a mini family home evening with them to show how its done and they loved it. Pablo came with us and after the lesson he asked if he could just spend the whole day with us. It was way fun just walking around with him trying to help him see how the mission is. Last night a miracle happened but i didn't get to witness it. Elder Smith and his hijo (trainee) were walking back to the apartment and a lady stopped them so they could take a picture with them. She said that she was going to show it to her daughter to prove that she found the missionaries. It turns out that her daughter has read the book of mormon or some other church material and knows that its true. She gave Elder Smith and Elder Barney her address and told them to come visit her. It turns out she lives in our area so it was a bummer for them but a blessing for us. We have been looking all week without much success but then a little miracle like that happens and...Walah! Hopefully its as good as it sounds. I'll be praying. Well familia and friends I love you tons and I know this work is true. I just wish you all could be having the same experiences and meeting the same people I am. Have an awesome week. The church is true.
Love, Elder Langston
