Back to Barcelona for a day

2/2/15   This week was a great week with Maria. We were able to teach her twice, and the second time we watched the video of the Restoration. She loved it, and the spirit was so strong at the part about the first vision. I wanted to pause it and point out to her that that feeling was the spirit testifying of the truth, but I didn´t have the remote. We also talked about the Book of Mormon, and how we need to pray and specifically ask God if it is true. She started praying right then, and it took us a minute to figure out that she wasn't just talking to us. Her prayers are awesome! They literally sound like she is having a conversation, which is great, because that is what prayer should be.

She came to church again yesterday, but this time she was already in the chapel when we got there. We got there 15 minutes early! The closing hymn was "Families Can Be Together Forever", and by the end, she was crying. She is progressing so fast, and is excited every time we have a lesson with her. She is so funny because the only fear of baptism she has is that she doesn't like getting water on her face. I really am so excited for her to get baptized.

Tomorrow I was told I have to travel back to Barcelona for residency stuff. I'm actually really excited. I love traveling. I'll get to see all of my friends who came here from the MTC with me, and I am really excited to see how they are doing. This week we also have a two day specialized training. We aren't sure what it is about, but some missionaries think we might be getting i-pads. To be honest, I think it will just be about family history work, because that is becoming a really big thing in the mission.

As always, I love you guys so much, and I hope you have a great week!
