july 11, 2012


Well this week has been a little different, I just want you all to know that first.  Second I just want you all know that I am still in Barrio 9, so I did not leave this past transfer.... Elder Woodbury did. He is now in the Canary Islands!!!!  How crazy is that!! My new companion is Elder Raiano, and if you were wondering, he is from Argentina :)  He has been out one year and 8months, so he has 3 transfers left.  He is really nice, funny and he speaks a little bit of English, just enough to help me out here and there :)   
Well, Benito loved his gifts.  Thank you all so much for sending that to me.  Seeing his eyes light up like that when he saw Marvel things was amazing, thank you for making that happen.  Also, Elder Woodbury gave him a white shirt and a tie and I put in a tie of mine.  He loved it all.  It was a great sight to see him just so happy.  They don´t have that much.  Diana does have work, but it still isn´t a lot for them.  What is so good, is that they still want to tithe out of their money.  Which is amazing.  I told them that they will be blessed for this.  The Lord always keeps his promises.  Well, Antonio just used his priestood and passed the Sacrament.  I was trying to look for him during church then I see this  45 year old man sitting with a bunch of 12 and 14year old boys :)  He was so happy and he was in his nice little suit.  Rosa is still on fire.  She really likes church, which is really good.  It´s an I told you so moment.  I told her she has to put forth a little action to know if this is the true church or not.  She just didn´t understand until she went to church.  Her daughter- in-law is great too.  Her husband came to church as well.  They really liked it.  They have 2 boys.  Jonathan and Christian.  They both love church and all the youth.  Our ward has a lot of youth.  They really like how we just are a family here.  
Well last week, I was a wreck.  It was a hard week for me.  I was just nervous for change, for the unknown.  It was hard for me to do anything, like speaking.  I finally figured out what was up.  It was because of transfers.  I didn´t want to leave, nor did I want Elder Woodbury to leave.  But the Lord needed him in Santa Cruz and the Lord needed Elder Raiano out here in Madrid. I have calmed down now and my stutter has gone away, well most of it. Elder Raiano is really helping me with it and speaking.  He really knows how to teach, which is good for me.  He really likes to work and everything.  
Things here are still good.  I am the area trainer and I am glad that I know my area pretty dang well.  I do have to do a lot more work, which is a little stressful, but Elder Raiano knows what to do also :) which is always good.
Thank you all for everything. This week has been good, change is a good thing.  Thank you for all your support and love :) I feel it :)
Loves all around!!!

Love You All!!!

Love,
Elder Alex Lobo :)
