Miracles

Sagrat Cor church at Tibidabo

This week was one of the best weeks! We were able to teach four lessons with amigos and saw lots of miracles. This week we were able to meet with Gissel and her sister Seydy again and one of the members Juanes came to the lesson. Also we were able to teach Daniel as well this week.  He came to church this Sunday and of course one of the two speakers spoke in Catalán so I don't think he understood much. 

It turns out that Farzana the Pakistan lady (who I translated for last week at church) has a nephew that lives with her named Prince who is not a member and so we taught him as well. We received a reference from a menos activos Ilda (mom) and Beatriz (daughter) and the boyfriend of Beatriz is interested in learning about the church. He is actually from Spain. (I know that shouldn't be surprising, but it seems like everyone we work with is not from here). Also this week has been pretty crazy because it is Carnaval here.

Another miracle this week was with the Juanasco family.  Their dad has been sick and in the hospital ever since I came to Sabadell. We visit him every Sunday evening at the hospital. The oldest son in the family who is 16 has been working and doing what he can to help the family while his dad has been sick.  This past week the son asked that we give him a blessing because he has been overwhelmed with all of the added responsibility with his dad being in the hospital.  We were happy to do this and he is such an amazing kid.  As we were sitting in church on Sunday in walks the Juanasco family with their dad!  He was better and had been released from the hospital. 

2 Nephi 27:23, 'For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith.'

What miracles did you see in your life this week?

A quick note. This his past week we taught a lady named Mariana from the Dominican Republic who is evangelical (it seems like we teach everyone who is not from Spain). We were able to go to a noche de hogar this week with three families in our ward. Saturday we went with our amiga Gissel and the JAS (young adults) to Montserrat. (google Montserrat) I thought we were going to take the tram to the top.  It turns out they wanted to hike to the top.  Lots of good views and we hiked forever and did not make it all the way to the top.  If I go again I will take the tram to the top.

This week we were planning on meeting with Gissel and her friend Daniel for English class and she invited another friend and her sister to come. So I ended up teaching English to four people and my companion which was pretty interesting. Then we shared the message of the Restoration with them. After this lesson we went and sat down on a bench to put in the area book what happened, but it was kind of in a sketch part of our area at night and some chaval around our age and his gang walked by and asked Elder Bucio for a lighter. The conversation went like this:

with my brave comp, Elder Bucio

Chavale: "do you have a lighter?"

Elder Bucio: "no viejo"

Chavale: "what did you say?"

Elder Bucio:"nada"

Chavale: "what did you say?"

Elder Bucio: "no viejo"

And then the rest of the gang was going ooooohhhhhh and roasting their friend. It was pretty funny after they left but I was a little nervous about the situation at first.

This Sunday in church I attempted to translate for some Pakistan lady who can't speak Spanish.  Also some random guy just showed up at church this Sunday because he wanted to do some family history work. If you want to get started on family history work go to familysearch.org. 

Tenga una buena semana!

Todo el mundo

We have been meeting and teaching people from all over the world. This week we taught two new people we found through English class. Christian who is from Columbia and has only lived here for 4 months. Also we taught Sulamon who is from Gambia and turned out to be Muslim but still listened to our message. We also met with a menos activos family and ate dinner. They are from Perú and both the parents and the one son all work at Mercadona. We also were finally able to meet with Achmed this week and teach the Plan of Salvation. 

One scripture that I really liked this week is 1 Nephi 22:25 "And he gathereth his children from the four quarters of the earth; and he numbereth his sheep, and they know him; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd; and he shall feed his sheep, and in him they shall find pasture." Jesus Christ is the good Shepherd and he knows all of us. If we come unto him he will help us. 

Tenga una buena semana!
