Also we have two baptismal dates for this Saturday and they are the most golden investigators I have ever seen but their story is crazy. They had been homeless for about 3 months when a member felt like he should go talk to them. He talked to them and invited them to stay in his house and come to church with him... this was one month ago. Their names are Islamil and Ana. They are so happy now and they have an amazing amount of hope.
Here's what Nick wrote to our Herrscher neighbors. A nice summary of his mission so far:
"Everything here in Spain is great. I have already been in 5 cities and I have only been gone a year! The mission is exciting and so fun. I love talking to so many people and learning another language. I have been very blessed and have been with 4 native companions who have all really helped me with the language. We had to go through a bit of a change and I am actually in the Barcelona mission now.
I want to share with you my testimony of missionary work. It is the greatest joy that a person can have in this world. It brings the most blessings and really brings the best out of a person when we share the gospel. I have been changed immensely and already know I will not be coming back the same person (hope you accept me into the neighborhood all the same haha).
Alma 26:16 We can not find a greater joy it is only through joining the lord in his work
Matthew 11:28-30 This is not so much a sacrifice as it is a blessing. Always trust in the lord and learn from his example and you will be lightened of your load
3 Nephi 18:19-21 Prayer is what brings miracles. If we do not ask, we will not recieve.
I miss you and hope for the best for all of you. And please also pray for our mission we are trying to baptize 400 people before the end of December and we need all the prayers we can get."
