Family
In Seville I can take you to the Plaza de España where they filmed
Star Wars. I really don´t mind seeing the cathedrals so if you wanted
to do that with her go for it. So in Jaén the baptism would be at like 7
o clock I think and Seville is like 2 to 3 hours away driving. Church
starts at 10:30 to 1:30.
So this week was great we worked really hard and I
am sick as a dog!! I haven´t gotten this sick on my mission yet so I
guess it was my turn! I haven´t stopped working and I haven´t slept
good the past three

So
we have now set baptismal dates with Maxi´s family. The Dad never
ended up moving out. He had moved out the day of Maxi´s baptism and
then they went to Church and that same night he moved back in. They
came to church this last week again and they came to the Christmas
dinner. The family is really starting to like us and they still aren´t
very sure about baptism but we are working our hardest. The Dad always
takes us back home because they live in a village about 20 minutes away
and this last week he took us to the other side of Málaga. So the dads
name is Luis and the mom Lidia and the daughter Micaela. They are so
good! I love the family. The daughter and I get a long, I sat by her
in the Christmas dinner this last Friday and she even went up and sang
with the young women. So she is doing great! The mom is going to be
the hard headed one in the family I think! The father cried when he
prayed for the first time with us, I think he was praying for us when he
started to cry. The dad really likes us a lot. I believe the bishop
is going over to their house today to teach them about families and
stuff for Family Home Evening. They are now pretty involved in the
church and I am positive they will get baptized.
The Spanish family is doing really well. We set dates with them
for the 12th of January. They have problems coming to church but we are
going to start involving members in the lessons. We taught them last
night with a returned sister missionary and they really like her. The
oldest daughter even prayed twice last night and accepted the baptismal
date. We still need to teach her about her whole problem and that might
not go down too well but she likes us and is progressing a lot.
The Cubans are doing okay. We really didn´t teach them this last
week but they are there and not a lot to say. They are freaking flaky
people but I think we will get a baptism out of them. We are mostly
just really working with these two families mentioned above. I want to
see both of them baptized so bad!!!
We had a cool experience this last Friday after the Christmas
party. A member called my comp and went out and talked to this guy. He
has anxiety disorder and really afraid to leave the house. So we go
over and the guy is so nice and we give him a blessing and all. After I
give him a paper that I did a study for like 3 hours all the way back
in El Puerto a year and four months ago. Do you remember Betty? The
girl from Bolivia? Well yeah I did a study for her and then she
disappeared. SO everyday of my mission I have had this paper with like
20 scriptures linked about fear and faith in the Book of Mormon and I
gave it to the guy. I was always wondering why I did that study and I
totally forgot that I had that paper with me and I gave it to this guy.
He was really in need and was thinking about killing himself and all.
Well he came to church and he told us that he is doing good.
So that was my week in Málaga and we are doing good. I hope you
all have fun traveling this week and we have Zone Conference this week
and it´s Christmas themed so I am excited! Love you all and I am pretty
sure I will get the package soon.
