We got the news and all of us are staying here in Benidorm for another 6 weeks!! Super pumped because the work is thriving here and the members are awesome so I really couldn't ask for more! We only have a few more weeks before the bank kicks us out. We're still working with E___ to get him baptized this month!
Lots of people canceled this week because its Holy Week, so we decided to go learn more about the Jehova's Witnesses and went to the sacrament meeting that they only have once a year. It was pretty crazy. Everyone wanted to take pictures with us which was funny.
I made some good paella, we had some really good seafood with rice, and the Whalley's made us some really good Hamburgers and this Greek lasagna thing.
Something that I really liked from general conference was from Elder Echo Hawk. He emphasized the importance of forgiveness and that forgiving others brings the power of the Savior into our lives. One of the parables that I love is that of the unmerciful servant. Although he was forgiven of his astronomical debt from his master, he wouldn't forgive the minute amount from one of his debtors. The Savior reminds us that we can never pay back our debt to God, but He will forgive us conditionally upon our repentance. Therefore, we should forgive those around us as this price is infinitely less than that which God has forgiven. The Savior taught us: "I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men." Let us all be more forgiving to those around us. It is a happier way to live!
