He cares so much

Well lots of stuff yet not a lot happened this week. Lo normal. We spent a day in Granada with the missionaries there and that was a party! And on Friday I hit one year in the misison! Wow I feel super old haha but it's ok still hasn't really hit me. Plus I was sick all day (don't worry not corona virus) so slightly miserable but that's alright, feeling mostly better now. And we got to visit some really fun members the last few days because we have transfers tomorrow and my companion is leaving and so wanted to say bye to everyone and everyone wants to throw parties so it makes for a fun time. 

Church was hard because we're not allowed to beso or shake hands but it's habit now so it makes for some awkard interactions haha. But at least we have toilet paper. 

Anyways, highlight of the week:

On Wednesday night as I was praying, I was curious and so I asked God "where are you?" not because I didn't feel like he was listening or felt his absence, but I wanted to know if he was there with me in that moment or what he was doing. I sat there and thought about it and imagined him in different parts of the room, watching me pray; then a voice said in my head, "¿que haría tu padre?" or, "what would your dad do?" my mind went to when I was younger and occasionally my dad would ask if he could come listen to our personal prayers at night right before we went to bed, and as he listened, he would kneel right beside us. I always knew he was listening very intently to what I was saying to my heavenly father. In that moment, I knew my heavenly father was the same. He's there right beside me as I pray to him and he listens very intently to what I have to say. He cares so much. 

I'll be getting a new comp tomorrow so next week you can see pictures! Oh and we bought second hand flamenco skirts this week. Good luck to me getting that one home in the suitcase haha. Love you all so much!

Pringles save us

This week we just did a nice little tour of the south, which was very nice because all the other cities aren't as hot as malaga plus all the other hermanas pisos have air conditioning haha. We went from malaga to fuengirola to ronda to Jaén to Granada and back to malaga. And when we finally stepped of the bus back in malaga, the heat hit and humidity hit us harder than ever and we had already started back on filling those lakes just on our short walk back to piso. I love Málaga. On all of our very long bus rides we got very hungry but you're not allowed to eat on the buses because of Mascarillas. And the only food item we ever had was Pringles because it's the only good thing they sell at bus stations, so we would just slide one under the mask and into our mouths every few minutes when nobody was looking so we didn't starve to death. We really know how to do things right. When we were in Jaen on intercambios, we visited this cute member family. And like I said, they wer...

Rondaaaa

This week was a partyyyy! On Tuesday, our favorite members, Ana y Fernando, wanted to take us to their favorite buffet in fuengirola, but when we got there, the original buffet no longer exists, but in its place was a sushi buffet haha. So we went. First time sushi eater here. But my dear sweet little companion helped me pick the things that weren't gonna kill me so I very much appreciated that. And then Ana just Had to buy us these little owl family souvenirs with their names as the parents and me and Hermana Larsen as the children hahaha (pictured below) they're so sweet.  We had a Cita this week with an amiga named Joy. She's an amiga of the malaga 2 hermanas, but they're both Latinas and Joy doesn't speak Spanish so we're helping them out. She's so sweet. They had planned to teach her about. she evangelio de Jesucristo, the pasos that we have to take in this life, and invite her to be baptized. We started talking about the first paso, faith, and I asked ...

Lakes to slightly smaller lakes

A nice little heat wave from Africa came in the last couple days. In the form of very very hot wind. But it did take down the humidity levels from our normal 85%. So instead of sweating lakes all day, we are sweating slightly smaller lakes. Feeling very blessed. Except for actually not having the humidity for a day felt very strange. I felt like I was about to shrivel up from dehydration. Vamos a ver what utah does to me haha. But it's been a really good week! We had two intercambios which means a week full of parties and lots of lessons and lots of learning. Always so much fun. We have a friend named Sebastián and we were finally able to meet with him in person to give him a book of Mormón. He was so excited to have one and right after the lesson he was gonna head to the beach to lay out and read the book of mormón. But we ended up giving him two books because he wanted to share one with his mom as well. Que máquina! We also met with our friend Fredy and he came to church yesterda...
