Week 9 in San Sebastian

Hello everyone!
 
San Sebastian is still just as beautiful as ever and we just had a wonderful Zone Conference yesterday. We have such an amazing mission here in the Spain Barcelona mission. The missionaries are incredible, the people are incredible and our leaders, emphasis on our mission President and his wife, are seriously incredible!
Some wonderful news that we have this week is first off...that our ward mission leader is doing well. He is out of the Hospital and went to the temple in Madrid yesterday to be sealed to his incredible wife. Such a good ending to the story. He made sure to use his time wisely in the Hospital in sharing a bit about the Gospel with the patient that was in the bed next to him for the whole 10 days! Seriously incredible man. 
 
Second, an incredible man that we have been meeting with...his name is Saul. He has been an investigator of the church for 6 years. His wife is a member as well as his daughter that is 15. He has 3 younger daughters as well that are 5, 2, and 18 months. They are seriously the cutest family that I have met since I got here to Spain and I just adore his little girls! They just love us and come running up to us with their arms wide open whenever we come over! It is the best! But anyways...the good news is that he has finally made the decision to be baptized after 6 years. The date is still a little ways off right now, but he has really actually started changing this time. His wife has been astounded at the change and he really finally feels like it is his time and finally wants to take that step so that he can work toward being sealed to his family in the temple. Keep him in your prayers please. I love this family and would love to be able to see them sealed in the temple next year. While he has finally made the decision to be baptized, he still is a little scared. But he has had a lot of spiritual confirmations this week that he should be baptized. 
 
We are still working hard with the ward members to strengthen them and trying to re-activate the in-active members. This place is filled with such incredible people and they all just need the love of our Savior. So we are working hard with the bishopric to help this ward get strengthened and have a strong foundation. 
 
We are still working with Juan and Lucresia. Juan is having a hard time because he really wants to know all the inside workings of the church before he makes a decision to be baptized, but we are making progress and helping him to understand what is necessary, but he and Lucresia could use your prayers as well. 
 
Well, That is all I have time for this week. Until next week!
 
Love you all,
Hermana Eyre
