Friends and Family,
Another awesome week in the Canary Islands! We went to Lanzarote to do splits with the elders on that island, and we got to go to the baptism of Meivy and Liz. Both of them were found by the missionaries there by using Facebook, which is just another fulfilment of the Lord's promise that He would "hasten [His] work in its time."
I found out on Saturday that I will be transferred tomorrow to Madrid. I'm definitely excited to finally see what missionary life is like in a city, but I'm also sad to be leaving the amazing island of Fuerteventura. It will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will never forget the several people here that have changed my life. Truly, "great are the promises of the Lord unto them who are upon the isles of the sea" (2 Nephi 10:21).
This week, I've thought a lot about our place in the universe and the individuality of our relationship with God regardless of the vastness of His creations. He says in the Book of Moses that "my works are without end, and also my words, for they never cease" (Moses 1:4). Not only does this mean that God still speaks today through his loving prophet, but also that His works are too great for us to count. But after God states the grandeur of his creations, he tells Moses, and each of us: "I have a work for thee, Moses, my son" (Moses 1:6). God has chosen each of his children to accomplish important work while in this life. Like God had a work for Moses, God also has a work for all of us, individual and specific to our gifts and talents.
