Hey hey!  This week was crazy and busy and exhausting and amazing and we saw many milagros!

 

We went to someone in our wards house, she has cancer and it´s hard for her husband to cook, so we went and made them crepes and a little lunch and it was so fun and good! Thank heavens Hermana Roan can cook and I´m trying to pick up on some of that skill!

 

Also we had a lesson with some a little family of investigators, we taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the Spirit was so strong!  It is a wonderful opportunity, to be able to teach about the simplicity of the gospel, and testify of how these simple things will bless their lives, and you know it will! It´s the best. But the only hard thing was we got out of the cita a little later than we´d planned and we were in a place pretty far away from our house, at least like an hour away walking time.  So we hurried to the bus stop, checked the schedule, and the last bus was supposed to have passed 20 minutes earlier.  And the buses here are very punctual, and also we were broke. It was super unsafe, i literally had 27 cents in my wallet.  So we were like, shoot! So we just were hoping maybe a taxi could charge it to our card, so we start walking away, we got a little ways away, then suddenly Hna. Roan turns around and the bus was coming! So we just ran and threw our hands up in the air and thankfully he stopped and waited for us!  Then we got on and he was like, ´´I´m 20 minutes late tonight or else you would´ve been out of luck.´´ and we knew it was not a coincidence! It was a tender mercy from the Lord and we were so so grateful! He knows we´re trying and He has blessed our efforts!

 

Also yesterday at church we were able to teach third hour and we really prepared a lot for this lesson to try to get the members motivated for the month of June, our mission´s month of invitation!  We´re working really hard to have a Noche de Hogar with every family in the branch, and have them invite their friends and family, just to try to get them introduced to the idea of the church...we just really know that incredible things can happen in this area if we work hard this month, so we´re really trying! 

 

We always have incredible fun and wonderful experiences, but it´s hard to write them all and describe how wonderful it is...just eating citas with the members and singing for them and having Hna. Roan sing for them with her incredible voice and laughing for hours with our ward mission leader and his wife because they´re just so wonderful and funny and I feel like they´re family..oh man I love the mission. But obviously I get overwhelmed a lot of times and sometimes I feel like, yeah i speak this language a little and other times, like yesterday at church i met a couple of the youth for the first time and i dont know why but i just could not speak any spanish and i couldnt understand them! Hahah it was sad and frustrating, haha and they´re like, how much time do you have in the mission? And i´m like 6 months and it´s just like I should know more by now...but I´m trying and the amazing times, aka most of the time is worth the hard and trying times.  Like my ward mission leaders wife told me last night after i told her learning Spanish just takes a lot out of me and is really difficult, she said, everything good in life does.  And it´s so true! So yeah, just moving forward and trying my best and I´m so happy! Lovin´ the mission life here in Benidorm!

 

Love, Hermana Miller
