Benidorm Para Siempre

February 19, 2018



Elder Moreland is getting booted this week all the way to San Fernando (West side), so Elder Childers is coming in which will be new. We have a few baptisms scheduled for the next few weeks. One of them is for R___, who is from Camaroon! He speaks a little bit of Spanish and English so we've been skyping in a missionary that speaks his native French! When we asked him if he would be baptized, he responded something like "if the Book of Mormon is true, who wouldn't get baptized by this restored authority??" So there's a lot of hype with that. E____ is looking for somewhere in Alicante to live, but the week that he finds something and moves down there he'll be baptized! He taught us how to sing this Catholic song called "Magnificat" which was pretty funny haha. E____ is getting close as well. He came to church yesterday and loved it! It's always a party when people actually show up to church haha

Today we hiked Penyal d'lfac again (the huge rock sticking out of the ocean) for the sunrise and then we had a lesson with A___ who is this super cool Spanish guy that's our age. Since Elder Moreland is leaving there will be a lot of packing/ cleaning which is always a good time.

I learned a lot this week from the people we are teaching and how they overcome challenges. There is always something that is impeding someone's progression to follow Christ. Whenever one of our particular investigators faces one of these struggles, he always says: "Sí que tengo pruebas, pero sé que mi Redentor vive" or "Yes I have challenges, but I know that my Redeemer lives." Even if we don't know the way, God knows the way, and he will always show it to us if we have faith. (Spoiler alert: Christ is The Way).
