Hola:)
As you can see from the title of this weeks email, we have been calling everyone and their dog.... but nobody seems to be disponible. But that has not gotten us down. We have done a little work in our area book this week and we have met with a few old investigators so we have high hopes for them. We also are continuing our contacting quest in the street which is going pretty well.
El Barrio - I´ve been super happy with the desire and involvement that the ward has with the missionaries. On sunday my companion and I got permission to pass around a signup sheet for some of the women to come with us to lessons and it happened to be that the lesson for that day was on missionary work. (Perfect!!) And a bunch of the women in the ward gave testimonies about going with the missionaries on visits so that made everyone excited to participate with us. All of us missionaries are also in charge of giving the class the 5th sunday of this month. I brought up the idea of doing packets like we did in Gijon and then also doing a 7 day prayer and scripture reading as a ward ending the with a ward fast for missionary work the first sunday of december. They really liked this idea so this week we are going to start working on the packets. We are also planning on doing a combined young womens and young mens activity and have them come with us on lessons and do contacting on the street. So... good things are happening in alcobendas.
Nela - I just met Nela this week. She is an adorable Romanian woman that is married and has a 4 year old child that is deaf. We had an incredible lesson with her. She has so much faith in the restoration of the gospel. Her husband was really against the whole church thing at first but we thing he is starting to soften so we are going to try to have a noche de hogar with them sometime this week.
Karen and Angel - Karen is a less active that really wants to get reactivated in the church and Angel is her pareja and our investigator. They aren´t married and for various reasons karen has been really struggling with the idea of them getting married... BUT this week was a miracle and Karen told us that they decided to get married in December:)
Wellington - Recent convert here in Alcobendas... Blessed the sacrament this week! So he is progressing so well!
Eusebio - the old adorable paralyzed Spaniard:) For a long time he has not been wanting to take the sacrament but this week we had a great lesson with him about the importance of it and he finally decided that he wants to be able to take it every week. so we are going to make arrangements for him to be able to receive that sacrament:)
Polin - Polin is a german-chinese man that we found in our area book. We had a lesson with him this week and he has a lot of doubts, particularly about the book of Mormon, but he says he loves that way that we act and behave ourselves and he wants to know why we are so different from everyone else... So there is potential there!
That´s about it for this week. We are still on the search for new investigators so keep up your prayers and thank you so much for the ones that you are offering:) I can feel their strength.
BESOS
