Aqui esta el Libro de Mormon; Here is the Book of Mormon!
Another fantastic week! Elders Read and Write already have four baptismal dates. Elder read says there's masses of work to do in Huelva, and everyone says they're short of missionaries in the area. They're still teaching over 20 hours a week and they're finding more investigators and less-actives who need help. elder Read says they're even having to go on a teach after he finishes this e-mail. and this is their P day: their day off! So a P-day is a rare thing now!
Tomás, whom Elder Read baptised last week, received the Aaronic Priesthood yesterday, and is now a Priest. They are very excited.
But Elder Read says his bag that he carries around with him is damaged as are his trousers. He only has one jacket and one pair of trousers now.
A few weeks ago the elders were returning to their flat when someone asked them if they could call an ambulance. He pointed to a woman sitting on the ground and crying, so they said they would but when they did so the emergency people refused to send an ambulance because the woman had already been in the hospital that morning and had been discharged. She would therefore have to make her own way there. Someone had tried to violate her and she was shivering a lot.
Because she was so cold, Elder Read lent her his jacket, after emptying all his pockets. They went to a taxi to ask if the driver could take her to the hospital, but no-one had any money. They then went to the police station beside the chapel but the police wouldn't take her to the hospital either, so in the end the elders called a member who lived nearby, and they were able to take the woman to the hospital.
They finally got back to the flat at 23.15 because of this and the next morning they had to go to zone training in Sevilla, so they didn't get much sleep.
The lady still has Elder Read's jacket but he's not complaining as he knows how important it is to help your neighbour. They had been praying a lot to find someone and to recognise that opportunity when it came - and their prayer was answered! Naturally he is very pleased to have been able to do this.
Elder Read doesn't know whether this is the end of the story but he does know that the Lord put her in their way so they could help her. He asks that we should pray for opportunities to serve.and then follow the Spirit when directed.
There are moves next week, when Elder Wright will be moving, but they don't know who will be replacing him.
Ya tenemos 4 fechas bautismales Hay un montón de trabajo aquí en Huelva y todos dicen que hacen falta mas misioneros en la área. Pero vamos a ver :) Ya estamos enseñando mas de 20 lecciones cada semana y estamos encontrando mas investigadores y menos activos que necesitan ayuda. Acabamos de salir de una lección ahora mismo. Es un P-day un poco raro hoy jeje :P Tomás recibió el sacerdocio ayer y ya es un Presbítero. Estamos MUY animados :D Mi bolsa se rompió y unos des mis pantalones. Ya solo tengo una chaqueta para mi terno también.
Hace algunas semanas estábamos regresando a piso cuando alguien nos pregunto si podríamos llamar a una ambulancia. El estaba indicando a una mujer sentada en el suelo llorando. Dijimos sí, pero dijeron que no podrían venir porque ella estaba en la hospital esa mañana y si ella necesitaba ir sola... Alguien trato a violar la y ella estaba muy enferma y se notaba un montón Ella tenia un montón de frío entonces yo la dio mi chaqueta. Saqué todas mis cosas, claro. Fuimos a un taxi pero el dijo qué no. Tampoco por servicio (ninguno de nosotros tuvimos dinero). Fuimos a la estación de Policía (Queda alado de la capilla) y ellos tampoco podrían llevarla a la hospital. Al fin llamábamos a un miembro y vive cerca, él vino y la llevamos a la hospital. Llegamos a piso a a las 23:15 por causa de eso, y tuvimos entrenamiento de la zona el día siguiente en Sevilla, entonces no dormimos mucho.
Ella todavía tiene mi chaqueta, pero no me quejo para nada. Sabia qué era necesario para ayudar a los demás. Estaba orando mucho para encontrar y reconocer un oportunidad para servir y ayudar a alguien y lo recibí. Estoy muy agradecido por esa oportunidad para servir a ayudar a los demás. No sé lo que paso con esa mujer al final. Pero se que el Señor nos puso en ese camino a esa hora para ayudarla.
Por favor siempre ore para encontrar oportunidades para servir. Y siempre sigue la dirección del Espíritu en todas las cosas que hagas.
Sí voy a llamar el Mayo :)
Traslados son la semana que viene. Entonces voy a recibir un nuevo compañero la próxima semana. No sé quien todavía.
And now here are some photos from the Mission that you might rather enjoy:
Y ahora hay fotos de la Misión para ustedes a disfrutar:
Elder Estrada and Elder Sanhueza having a little friendly fun in the snowstorm that hit a few weeks ago.
It even snowed a bit in Malaga too! Hermana Wilcox, Moreno and our daughter Annie.
(Note to Elders: Notice how Hermanas just smile and hold snow--they don't throw it at each other.)
