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 :)
