Serving in Azuquca is a little piece of Africa. I had to fly back to the Peninsula to find my sweet africans again. Every single one of the people we are teaching right now are from Nigeria. There they speak like 1000 languages. One of them is Pigeon English. The funniest english I´ve ever heard in my life. Im loving learning how to talk like that, it´s helping me become black!
This last week was full of goodbyes. We had a Zone Conference of all the areas of Madrid together on Friday. It was packed with a bunch of people I love for the last time. I hugged my trainer goodbye, high fived all my buddies. It´s sad to say goodbye to all these people. You also realize how old in the mission you are. Time is just flying by.
We also had a baptism on Saturday of a members son on saturday. That baptism was beautiful! The spirit was so strong. The parents planned the baptism very well, they invited little children to participate in the program. They prayed, talked, and sang! Oh I love kids they have the sweetest spirit about them. The kid bore his testimony after he was baptized and received the gift of the holy ghost and said "I know I felt how Jesus felt when I was baptized!" It was so sweet. The parents also had invited alot of nonmember friends to the baptism, and the bishop at the end invited all who werent members to take a book of mormon on their way out! 3 people walked away with a book of mormon! It was amazing!
I miss you all. I´m so grateful for all your support for me! I think about you, and pray I honor your love and respect. Have a great week!
Con Amor,
Hermana Shurtz
