This past week was quite the adventure. On Thursday for the first time since we´ve had the Canary Islands in our mission, ALL the Spain Madrid Missionaries were in one place at the same time! What a joy that was to have ALL my good friends that I´ve made in the last 10 months in the same room. I was able to say goodbye to many of them one last time before they went home. It was such a great reunion filled with the spirit and love for one another.
The reason for our grand reunion was because Elder Dykes, of the area presidency, and Elder Allen of the missionary department, came to give us an orientation on how to use Ipads on the mission. The meeting was powerful, full of personal revelation, laughs, and testimonies. Ironically we didnt end up receieving our Ipads at the end of the day, they didn´t arrive so we´ll still have to wait a little bit longer for them to arrive.
The pollen here has taken quite a toll on me, to the point that I was running a high fever. I asked the elders to give me a blessing and I´ve been feeling alot better. I´m so grateful that we have the priesthood power and that there are worthy young men who can give blessings whenever there is a need.
Also a great highlight was I got to skype my lovely family for the last time! That was such a treat. I´ve missed them so much. It´s crazy to me that is the last time I see their faces until I´m back in st. geezy. I also got to see my cute little grandparents for the first time in over a year!
All in all this week has been a good one, full of reunion! I hope you guys are all doing well. I miss you and love you all.
Con Amor,
Hermana Shurtz
