Hola Familia y Amigos!
This week was super good. To start off, let me tell
you how Spaniards park their cars. It is so funny! Do you remember the movie "The
Pink Panther"?In the very beginning, how inspector Clouseau parks his car by driving forward and hitting the car in front and then backing up until he hits the other car behind and again
pulling up a little more until he hits the car in front. In a nutshell, that’s
how Spaniards park their cars. Parking spaces are SO TINY-- It’s hard to
believe people actually can fit cars in those spaces.
Anyhow, I don’t know what has
been up this past week but I am not even over exaggerating the fact that my companion
and I have been sprinting, almost every morning, to catch the bus. It’s
hilarious because you might see these two girls sprinting in skirts to catch a
bus! It is not hard to see people smiling and waving at us. Luckily we have only
missed the bus twice J
I would like to share with
you what I have been focusing this past week in my personal studies. Among Christlike
attributes may include knowledge and humility, charity and love, obedience and
diligence, faith and hope. I ran across a quote that I cannot remember who said
it: ¨Hope is like the sun and it casts our shadow of burdens behind us and it
befriends us in the dark and excites us in the brighter days. It overshadows
discouragement and gives us determination.¨ I love that quote because we need
to always have hope for better things and a hope that Christ will help us in
our efforts. I read Alma 58:10-11 when I was studying hope and that is
something that has given me more determination to do the Lord’s work.
I encourage y’all to study
out a Christlike attribute you would like to work on and then apply it in your
life as well. All Christlike attributes are gifts from God. As we ask Heavenly
Father to develop this gift, study it out and apply it in our lives, He will
open the windows of heaven. In the smallest or even the bigger things.
With much love,
We tengan una bonita semana!
