Zaragoza!!

Hey everyone hope you are all having an amazing day!!  Thanks for all the emails and all of your support!!!  Zaragoza it sooo awesome!  Our branch has about 25 people on average coming to church each week!  We definitely have some room to improve haha!  Its super green here too so that's pretty sick!  Our apartment is super nice!  we can walk out and there is this huge patio type thing and its on the second floor so its a super cool view.  We use it to work out so that's been fun!  Huge step up from my house in Sabina haha!!  

My new comp is super sick!  His name is Elder Leija and hes from San Luis Mexico!  Hes a cool kid and he looks like a Mexican version of logic if you know who that is haha! He likes to skateboard and play soccer so that's pretty sick! He is also the first Mexican Ive met who likes indie music haha so that's pretty sweet. Sometimes we argue about the dumbest stuff haha but I love the guy so much.  Hes been helping me with my Spanish a ton!!  

We have one baptism date right now for next Saturday!!  His name is Esteban and he is such an awesome guy!  He had a problem with drinking and smoking but he gave it all up so he can be baptized!!  Super excited for him.  

We gave talks in church yesterday!!  Its crazy to see how much progress Ive made in Spanish since the first time I Spoke!  I had to read it word for word my first time and yesterday I went in with a couple bullet points!!  The gift of tongues is so real!  I still have a ways to go but its so cool to see the progress each day!  

I hope you guys have an amazing week!! Thanks for all the support and love!!  I want to challenge you guys to always remember to do the small and simple things.  Its something im always saying but its so important.  I have a strong testimony that making time for the little things can change our lives.  Every little prayer we say, every good choice we make, makes such a difference.  The simple things go so far, and they aren't so little after all.  There is a song called not so little by NIk Day that you all need to look up that talks about this exact thing!!  I love you guys and I hope you have a great week!!

 

Sorry no pics this week!  Trying to figure out how to hook my phone up to the computer.
