Week 6 in Barcelona!

Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad! y Bon Nadal!

 

That is english, spanish, and catalan. I don´t know anymore....sorry! Well...we had a good but very busy week this last week. We were trying to juggle all our investigators and everyone else that we teach on top of trying to make sure that our concert was going to go well and have a good turnout. Well, the first part did happen. The Christmas Concert that we organized and played went quite well. It wasn´t perfect and that couldn´t be expected, but it went very well and the most important part is that the spirit was very strong and we had a great time celebrating the true spirit of Christmas through music. The second part....well...we didn´t have a very good turnout unfortunately. We did our very best to advertise it well and the Elders from the other ward also told a few people about it....but in the end, not many people came. But we did have a few of our wonderful investigators there and they were able to benefit immensely from it. President and Hermana Pace (our mission President and his wife), came and spoke at it and we were so incredibly grateful for the love and the support that they showed us. Our bishop came and he loved it....and then he reprimanded the ward a bit in church yesterday for missing out on incredibly spiritual things like the concert we gave and also a concert about the life of Joseph Smith that happened last Sunday. Hopefully they start coming out to things like that and make a good family activity out of these things in the future. 

 

Well, two investigators that we have right now that are making the most progress are Alberto and Victo. Alberto has made incredible progress in getting over smoking. He used to smoke a whole pack every day and he has been down to about 2 cigarettes a day most of the time now. He is going to try and make it 0. We are so proud of him and all the work he is doing. He really does know that everything is true and he has really felt the help that a priesthood blessing has been giving him. Then Victor and his girlfriend are really praying about a date to get married so that he can get baptized. They know that the way they are living is wrong. They feel it and they want to change it. So they are praying to have the courage to set a date and get married. They just both have a fear of getting married and we are hoping that they will be able to overcome it. 

 

Well...keep them both in your prayers if you would. 

 

Well I am out of email time and I get to talk to my family tomorrow! Merry Christmas to you all!

 

Love,

Hermana Eyre
