I don^t get to watch YW general session, I guess if we were teaching someone young women´s age we could be there, but we aren´t. I will probably only be able to watch two sessions of conference, if any at all, because here in Benidorm they don´t broadcast it, we have to travel. So I am hoping we at least get to watch some of it on Sunday. But the 2nd session of Saturday morning is the first one we would get to watch on Sunday, because we are in Spain. But I am so excited that we will at least get to read the talks next month in the ensign! I love hearing the prophet and apostles speak to us (or I guess reading their words).

Anyway, this was a bit of a rough week, but hey, that happens. This has been a hard area for me to be in, and I have a feeling that I will be here until the Lord knows that I truly am humble and patient being here, because sometimes I just wonder why I have to be here in Benidorm. I know that is awful, but in the hardest moments those thoughts pass my mind. But I know there are people here the Lord has prepared, or else missionaries wouldn´t be here. And I know that as long as I am doing all my part, and truly striving to become a consecrated missionary and turn my heart to the Lord and be an instrument in His hands and not complain about the hard days, I am doing what He wants. And it is all on His timetable, He knows the whole picture. We seriously have such a narrow view sometimes, and we are so wrapped up in ourselves, or in the trial we are passing through, that we don´t realize if we just put our will and our lives into the Lord´s hands, everything will turn out the way it needs to. Yes, we have to struggle sometimes, but it is a good thing we have a loving Savior who understands, and who had to suffer a billion times more than us, so we have no room to complain.

I love you all so much! Mom, I am excited that you and Dad get to come pick me up, but man, I still have lots of things the Lord needs me to do here in Spain, so I am glad I still have time, I am sad that I can´t have another year, or two, or three.


I hope you all have a wonderful week!!!
