Pretty much how this week went ^^ We can't really get around because of my ankle, so we've had to depend on members of the church to drive us which hasn't been the most effective. Sanlucar had their huge fair this week so everyone was busy with that, which I guess is alright because most of our lessons fell through anyways.
But although we were only able to go out and serve a few times we still saw miracles!!
1. We've decided to teach all of the members of the church the lessons that we teach those investigating the church in order to strengthen them and also see if they know anyone we can teach. We did it twice, and got two referrals!
2. Someone who has been taught by missionaries for a long time finally said (out of nowhere) that she wanted to come to church and progress in the church!
3. A member who hasn't attended church in a long time agreed to drive us and we were able to set up a time to meet with them and teach their son who isn't a member of the church!
I know that God puts trials in our lives in order for us to learn and grow. Several times this week, I felt as if God had abandoned me, that I was lost and alone. At times, we may feel distanced from God, cut off from heaven, or alone. The message that I share with the people of Spain is exactly what Isaiah taught: "For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed" which is to say that the most unlikely of things might happen one day, "but [God's] kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of [His] peace be removed" (Isaiah 54:10). There is no hole, no crevice, in the expanse of the universe in which His light does not shine. His light and His love can heal any wound, no matter how deep.
I love you all!
