this week went by a little better than last week, as far as the work goes. Pedro, an older man from Ecuador, accepted a baptismal date- he´s very kind and grandfatherly. I think he´d only had one or two lessons before because of his busy schedule, but he´s been coming to church for about a month now.
I think I must have inherited Jon´s mission- the other investigator with a baptismal date is Leo, also from Ecuador. He´s pretty young (24) and has his vices, but he says that he wants to try to live the commandments, and for the past week at least has been reading and praying every day and came to church. He gets along really well with the YSA here, so I think that when he is baptized, he´ll have lots of friends among them. I don´t know if he´s truly converted yet, but he has good intentions.
We did our first intercambios with the sisters in Benidorm- I stayed here and will probably stay here the next intercambio too (until Hna. Cano leaves), and then I´ll be the one to travel- I dread the day when Hna. Flanders leaves me alone and I have to fend for myself. Our companionship is doing well- we get along, but we´ll miss Hna. Cano. The longer I´m in the mission, the more grateful I am to have had her as my trainer. She´s a wonderful missionary.
Today for P-day we went to a castle on the seashore. Yes. The wind was really strong, so the pictures are a bit interesting, but I love the history here. I hope I can spend a bit more time there another pday just enjoying the place.
Hna. Brown was there and I loved talking with her again- she really is happy I´m here.
This week I feel like a little piece of me fell into place- it came from a very simple decision, and I want to keep looking for those moments when I can change and improve myself just by deciding in that moment that I will be more selfless/obedient/diligent/
Thank you all for your love and support.
Love, Hna. Johnson
