Vision of White

Hola!

One week down, and I feel like Im adjusting ok. The busses are called WaWa´s here, and you can hear about 10 different languages at any given moment, its a weird world here. Its odd being on an island, we cant drink the water here (even though we are surronded by it) I dont know how to explain its, but its this feeling of being just you and this small (ish) land. I dont know its just amazin! The people here do not have the Madrid accent so I am doing my best to keep my lisp and raspy voice. It made me feel good cause yesterday we ate at a members house from Spain and she could tell I had been living in Madrid! So thats good! 

I dont know how to explain it but I just have these desires to work here that I didnt have in Alcobendas. I mean dont get me wrong I worked and loved the people in Alcobendas, but here I jsut have this dream, this vision. I want a temple here someday. I want a temple on the island of Tennerifee, and I want to do everything I can to help make that happen. In our part of the island its just my companions and I, and a set of elders. Not a lot of hands, but a lot of heart. So we are going to work, pray, fast as much as we can to do what the Lord wants for this area.

Ive loved being here, I love my companions. Ive LOVED having a native. She´s from Colombia and I feel like we are soul sisters she is a fire cracker! I cant wait to work with these girls. The members here are amazing too the LOVE to feed the missionaries, so I know I never have to worry about starving. 

CHRISTMAS is around the corner, even though the weather doesnt look like it, but I could not be any more excited to skype my family. We have a calender hanging up and when we talk about it we have huge smiles on our faces! OH IM SO EXCITED! Have a great Christmas and remember that God loves you and that He has already given you the best gift you could have asked for His son!

Mucho MUCHO AMOR! FELIZ NAVIDAD!
