Hello everyone!!!
The weather here is San Sebastian is being a little temperamental,
but it is still better than everywhere else in Spain right now. Things
here have been great this week. We just got another new investigator
yesterday that actually was already baptized a member of the church, but
her records were lost at some point, so we are going to get her
baptized again. She is the mother of one of our most active Young Women.
Her son though, who was baptized a year ago, went completely in-active
right after he was baptized, so we are hoping that through teaching his
mom everything and helping her to have her own conversion again (because
she has been in-active for many years), somehow, he will feel the
spirit again and we can bring him back with her.
Things are going well with Juan and his sister Lucresia. They
really love the members which is just great because that will help them
after they are baptized, but they don´t love us quite as much as the
members and have a hard time wanting to meet with us unless it is for a
Family Home Evening at someone´s house or something. So we are going to
be having lots of Family Home Evening´s with lots of different members
in the coming weeks. We are excited.
Funny story of the day. We told a member last week that we wanted
to hike one of the big mountains nearby, and he said he could help us
get there and do it. Well...it was today...and instead of hiking a
mountain, he drove us to the top of a hill....and I mean a hill. And
when I pointed to the mountain that I wanted to hike and asked him how
we could get there for another day, he said, "well that´s really hard
you know?" I just laughed. It is such a small mountain compared to what
we have in Utah. So funny. Apparently some people think that I am crazy
for loving hiking and doing hard things. That is the whole point of
hiking! Because of the great reward and great feeling you get at the
end. Anyways, we will be going on a hike to the top of that mountain
soon for sure. When it happens, I will be sure to post pictures.
Yesterday was Hermana Farrell´s Birthday and we had some fun
festivities for sure. She got some crepes and ice cream from me in the
morning for breakfast. (I guess that is her family tradition, except
with waffles). A member made a special lunch and everything for her and
gave her and even me a gift since they won´t be with me for my birthday
when it rolls around again.
Anyways...That is about all that is exciting that is happening around here.
Until next time!
Love you all,
Hermana Eyre
I hope you have a way to get these comments Sister Eyre, but maybe you have to wait until you get home. It is so great to feel that wonderful missionary spirit oozing through your words. If anybody knows hard, it's you AND if anybody is GREAT at accomplishing hard things, that would be you too! As I always say, "Hard is Good!"
