Milagros

One thing that Presidente DuVall leaves for us after every email is this:
The miracles are happening!! We are "causing" them to happen!!
"At the very moment when obedience ceases to be a burden, we qualify for divine power"
I know he is called of God to watch over northern Spain and all that live here. He has such a strong desire to do the Lord´s work. Him and Hermana DuVall do so much for us and the people who live in Spain.
Domingo
We taught Domingo again. We showed him one of the most recent dvds we have. It is a dvd that was filmed in Spain. It was specifically designed for Europe. It is only six minutes long but explains so much and super clear. After the video finished we could tell it impacted him. He asked,¨Can I watch it again the next time you come over?¨ He has a friend named Fifi which I have only met a few times and briefly. She is so nice and sincere. I hope to be able to teach her about the plan God has for her in her life.
Jesús
We were knocking doors the other day. We knoced on the door of Jesús. He is from Cacéres, the southern part of Spain, and lives in Leon. We talked at his door for a few minutes. He said he had never seen missionaries before. I love this work for this fact. We can talk to hundreds of people that say they know who we are and don´t want anything. Then there are still always those people in the world around us that have never seen us. They don´t know the message we carry. As we understand this more clearly and apply it, we will make a difference in someone´s life. There are people that live and walk around us that don´t know the truth. Many time it is becaus they know not where to find it. I decided to ask him if we could come in. He said, ¨yes.¨ We went into his humble home. We talked for a while. He didn´t have much time so we decided to start with the six minute dvd. He thought it was a beautiful movie. We ended up setting a return visit. We visited him yesterday again. We learned more about him as he learned more about us. We also taught about God and who is God? What relationship can we have with the creator of all things? We then found out that Jesús talks with his mom and dad frequently. As a fact he talks with his mom every SINGLE day! He is older and lives on his own and is one that understands the importance of family without having kids himself. What an example he is. He humbly tells us his honest opinion and at the same time tells us that he needs to learn a lot more about what the Bible teaches us. I love being able to see one´s life from a point of view God has given me. I can see his life many days from now and see a change. That is what the True Gospel of Jesus Christ does for somebody that has a desire to learn and change for the best.
Britani
I just got back to Leon yesterday. I had an amazing time in Bilbao. It all started on the train ride there. We were five Elders on the train. We were all in the last car in the way back to be able to talk. Britani came back and asked a question about the train. I didn´t think much of it because anythime we are some place we are always mistaken for employees(and we are also mistaken for something else but I will save that story for another time). We kept talking when she came back to us and said,¨Are you mormons?¨ The other Elders said yes. We are known to a lot by that name. As we talked to Britani we learned a lot about her. She said she was in Vigo visiting family. She lives in Bilbao with her mom and more family. She told me she is from Concepción, Chile! I of course told her about my older brother who served the Lord for two years where she lived. We then talked about things about Chile and it was great. She said she had never seen missionaries in Spain(remembering she only has one month in the country). I told her about the Hermanas in her area. She told me that all her good friends in Chile are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I told her where the capilla is in Bilbao and gave her the numbers of the missionaries there. She was happy to know that the Church existed where she now lives. I was happy to talk to her and get to know her.

The miracles are happening!! We are "causing" them to happen!!
I love this phrase because it is so true. I have walked the streets of Spain and have talked to so many people. Some days I will literally talk to hundreds of people and all will not want to listen. Then when one might think that there is no one that will listen to the truth, there is someone. At anytime when we continue to have the faith required and keep working is when it all can change in an instance. After many that don´t want to listen I stop one more and you know what . . . they listen:) The work is amazing because all can change just like that. We can find one person or an entire family looking for the truth. The miracle happens when a light enters their life and they become vessels that will continue to carry the truth to others.
