Thank you so much for the wonderful letter last week! I loved every word! I knew leaving Gijon was going to be hard for you. I also know that you will fall in love with every ward you serve. I am glad you will have an easier form of transportation while you are building your strength back up. Good to hear your potassium level has balanced out.
I am glad you like your companion. It is fascinating that you are both from Oregon, what part is he from? Where is his Spanish ancestry from? Your grandfather's is just southwest from where you are now. I wonder if there are any Mendoza's or Perez's where you are serving now?
I love the light the world campaign, it really helps me to focus everyday on what the Savior did and how I can 'go and do likewise'. The First Presidency Christmas Devotional is on right now. I love hearing the words of our prophet and apostles.
We went and got some trees yesterday. It was so much fun, even though there wasn't snow.
Here is a beautiful picture of your sister with her quote "Nothing has brought me more joy than to learn of my Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ."
Rick is a temple worker right now, I thought you'd like this one:
How wonderful you were able to go to the temple this week, I hope we get a picture! I just found a FB page for the parents of missionaries in your mission. It is great to see all their smiling faces. I love you with all my heart! Have an amazing week!
Love,
Mom
Hey Mom and Dad,
I hope that you had a good week this week. I loved your email about ilumina the world. Our p-day was moved to Wednesday because we went to the temple today it was so spiritual. I went there fasting for Brandon, Greg and Wayne, I know that the lord will protect them. We did the session in Spanish, it was super fun. By the way, I need the names and birth dates of ancestors names and dates so that I can go to the temple and do their work. I'm super excited to do names for my ancestors. I already have like 30 names to do, but I can't do sealing, so I'll send you them. I love God so much, I'm so glad that I can repent of my sins and be worthy to go to the temple. I really love Madrid. It's super easy to get around. I called Enrique today and it made me cry. I also talked to one of my old investigators from Fuerteventura. I read these scriptures last week and it really takes me back to my family and friends. I love you Mom Dad and my amazing family.
With all my love,
Moroni
Alma 27
16 And it came to pass that as Ammon was going forth into the land, that he and his brethren met Alma, over in the place of which has been spoken; and behold, this was a joyful meeting.
17 Now the joy of Ammon was so great even that he was full; yea, he was swallowed up in the joy of his God, even to the exhausting of his strength; and he fell again to the earth.
18 Now was not this exceeding joy? Behold, this is joy which none receiveth save it be the truly penitent and humble seeker of happiness.
