Hola
everyone! So sorry I wasn´t able to send out the family email yesterday. I was
in a meeting all day long and I didn´t have very much time to email last night
but now I have a second to finish.Thank you for your emails. It is so good to
here from all of you. It is so nice to have your love and support.
Hermana Williams and I
had a great week here in Hospitalet. We were busy with appointments, found some
new investigators, and we had the opportunity to see most of general
conference. I hope you all enjoyed conference as much as I did. My favorite
talks were those by President Uchtdorf about gratitude and by Elder Holland
about discipleship. General Conference is like christmas on the mission and I
feel like these talks were what I really needed to hear. I know that Heavenly
Father hears our prayers and that he answers us through many different ways and
always in his own time. But I know that general conference is a great time to
recieve answers and personal revelation that we are searching for. So I want to
invite you to go back and listen to or read the talks. I know that as you do
this you will find the direction and guidance you need in your lives.
This week we found
Johnson. Yaayyy. He is great. He is about a 30 year old man from Nigeria. Yes
another African. I don´t know, I guess I am meant to teach the Africans here in
Spain. Haha but I love it! Anyways we found him when we were going to visit a
reference the elders gave us. And we went to the address that they gave us and
we found Johnson instead of the other woman. Right away he told us that he wanted
to unite himself with our church. Ever since he left Africa 10 years ago he has
been looking for a church to join that was not the catholic church. He has so
much faith and a strong testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ. We invited him to
be baptized and to read The Book of Mormon. We are exciting about working with
him and we can´t wait for his progression in the gospel! Oh and side note, we
could not go into his apartment because there was not a woman there so we were
just standing there and teaching for a minute until he brought us out chairs to
sit on. Haha so there we were sitting right outside of the door while he sat
inside. The few people that walked by while we were there, must have been
confused haha. I love being a missionary!
Another quick story or
two... We received a reference from President and Hermana Pace. While they were
on a date the other week they met a woman named Pilar. So we went to go visit
her and take her a Book of Mormon the other day. She is a spaniard woman who is
so so prepared. She was really interested in reading the book of mormon, so we
left her with a chapter to read and we will be going back this week! Also
walking out of conference I contacted this really nice Columbian man who is
also interested in hearing our message! We are meeting with him tonight! I will
have to let you know how everything goes. The work is moving forward here in
Spain and I am so grateful to be a missionary!
Please keep me updated
on all your lives! I love you all and I hope you have a great week!
xoxo,
Hermana Benson
