Hola
everyone! Happy holy week! This week in spain everyone is now celebrating the
week of Pascua or Easter. They are going to be some big parade like things with
lots of Jesus and The Virgin Mary stuff.... Because of the Catholic influence.
And many people even went to mass yesterday... They only go like twice a year.
Haha we contacted a man who said, "I just got back from mass." haha
and then he pointed to the sky and walked away. Haha pretty great. But it is a
really great week to be a missionary because more people are thinking about our
Savior Jesus Christ.
I love this time of
year because the trees and flowers are all coming back to life. What great
symbolism to help us remember that our Savior also came back to life and that
he still lives today! How grateful I am for my Savior Jesus Christ. Thanks to
him and his sacrifice we know that we can recieve forgiveness for our sins and
that we too can live again. I know that he lives and he loves us and he knows
us personally. He is there for us through all the good times and the bad. He
gives us the strength we need to carry on. How blessed we are to have this
knowledge of the gospel!
This week in
Hospitalet and we saw many miracles! The work is really starting to pick up and
we are excited! And guess what?! Marina and David have a date for their
wedding!!! It is not until October, but we are so so excited for them. And then
after they are married, Marina can be baptized and they can start preparing to
go to the temple. Yayyy! I am so happy for them!
On Thursday I will be
flying out to the island of Palma to do a few intercambios with the hermanas
out there! And then I will be staying out there until Saturday because an area
70 is coming to speak! It will be really fun and I am excited to see what the
islands are like. Oh also this morning my companion and I had the opportunity
to have interviews with President Pace. It was the best! I left feeling very
edified and motivated. I am also giving a talk on Sunday in our ward... Haha
giving talks in spanish always makes me nervous but I am so grateful I have the
chance to speak on Easter! So great.
Well that is really
all. Please keep me updated on your lives! Thank you thank you for your emails,
love and support! I hope you have a wonderful Easter and that you find time to
think of our Savior and his sacrifice for us.
I love you! Os quiero!
Hermana Benson
