I love you!!
"I
stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me"!! We are having such
unmistakable help from Heavenly Father here in Sabadell. This IS His
work. I am so happy to be a part of this -- it really is a blessing to be
allowed to serve these people, especially with my two fantastic
companions! I love how patient Élder Seegmiller is -- by the way that he
faces difficult situations, it's so clear that he knows that everything
will be alright, so long as we're giving His work our all. I love how
earnest Élder Wheat is -- he makes such an effort to always have a smile
on, and to show interest in what people have to say. Work here in
Sabadell is already miraculous enough; being able to face it with my two
companions makes it a tender mercy. I love having obedient companions
who want to work, and who do so out of a sincere desire to help others!!
Maribel Castillo (who was baptized last
month) is so happy when she comes to church! She brings her daughter,
Flor, and she told me that Flor is prepared now -- she wants her family to
be baptized! She is converted, and heading to eternal life!!
Nancy Cerezo (who was baptized two weeks
ago) is so excited to go to the Temple in Ecuador! She always tells us
how grateful she is to have the gift of the Holy Ghost, and she's
determined to have all of her children in Ecuador listen to the
missionaries, so that they can go to the Temple!! She is converted, and
heading to eternal life!!
Verónica (who will be baptized this weekend) is enthusiastically preparing for her baptism! She reads the scriptures every day, and is racing her LDS boyfriend in Ecuador to see who can finish it first. They share favorite messages over Skype. She is excited for this important step, and is committed to stay true to the restored gospel, 100%! She is converted, and heading to eternal life!!
Mari would've been baptized last Saturday,
but problems arose with her CR husband, and so it has been
postponed. She still comes to church, and reads. She is shy, but she
knows that this is God's church, and she wants to be baptized! Their
daughter will be raised in the gospel, and, together, they are heading
to eternal life!!
Another miracle this week happened as a
result of an event from last week's Consejo de Barrio. We had a comment
to make to the Council, but instead of making it ourselves, we went and
whispered it into the ears of our Ward Missionary Leader. He, then,
brought it up and took care of it. That small gesture has made a huge
change in our relationship with our Ward Missionary Leader -- this week he
has begun to be more engaged. Since we have so much work, and we need
members to come with us, HE proposed to call us every night, to check up
on the progress of each day, and to call members to come with us for the
next day. He's been touched by the Spirit, and because of our joint
effort and interest in the work, more people will begin heading towards
eternal life!! What a tender mercy!!
I am so grateful to be a missionary; a
representative of Jesus Christ. This week I want to dedicate 15 minutes
of my personal study to learn and ponder more about what that means -- I
want to be a better representative of Him, and to have more conscious
His example and sacrifice for me.
I love you people SO MUCH!!!!! We come back
exhausted every night -- haha, having lots of energy is sure a blessing!!!
:D The weather is warm, the clouds are pretty, the wind is fun, and the
members keep giving us too much food. X)
A special request from Élder Seegmiller: Please stop praying that we are eating well!! Haha, he is tired of gaining weight!! It makes running-when-we-need-to-catch-
You wanted to know if there was anything that I
would like in the package. Uhm, chocolate chips for cookies? They taste
good, are completely American, and shareable. :) I'm sure the district
would love them, too!
The package that you sent never got to me: our Hermanas were going to be thoughtful, and picked up the package, but
they haven't given it to me yet. Haha, I'm sure they'll give it to me
sometime soon. (We helped them get back into their piso the other
afternoon when they locked themselves out without a phone!)
(Note: I will continue to try and answer all questions from the emails you send -- now is my turn! :D )
How is cousin Millie?
How
is this "Colton" character? Is he planning on waiting for Sarah, or
does he have a very mistaken goal? (I will be looking for clues in the
emails later today when I read them)
How´s Sam Ward?
How´s Stephen Ward? (how has so much time gone by without us having had their emails?)
I don't know about the Mother's Day call stuff, but I will for next week -- we have a Zone meeting tomorrow, and they'll probably tell us.
Miracles happen when we try our best to
dedicate ourselves more to the Lord. Heavenly Father loves all of His
children. He is always trying to help us. We can help Him in this work
by being obedient and loving others into doing the same. We have the
best job ever!!
Love,
Élder Zubeldia
