Estamos Full!

Hola mis amigos!! I can't believe it's already monday again and another week has already  passed!! We had a great week this week and continue to see so many miracles! 


Highlights / Fun facts:
- This week we were able to visit a lot of members and get to know them better which was awesome! It also meant that we ate a lot of good food, but we were pretty stuffed but happy 😊 
- We went to visit a family named the Castros out in a pueblo (small town) with the Gilberts and it is always so fun to visit them! They said they really appreciate because a lot of times people don't make the trip out to see them! I love their faith and the way they have raised their kids in the gospel! They are an example for me!
- This Thursday we had an activity for the Young Adults where we talked about genealogy and doing temple work for our ancestors! We had 3 of our recent converts there who we were able to help get started in their accounts and a bunch of our friends who we got to explain about the temple to! It was awesome 🥰
- Our friend Ana just never ceases to amaze me! She has such a desire to learn and grow and always comes back with questions after reading from the scriptures and the words of the prophet! This week we were able to teach her about temples and eternal families and she said it was something she had never heard of before but it just made sense and felt right! I love her ☺️
- We have a friend named Graciela who messaged us this week saying that she was in the hospital and wanted us to come pray with her before she had some tests done that she was nervous about which was so sweet to see her faith! We were able to visit her and share with her how much God loves her and will take care of her and she was so grateful! She also asked about priesthood blessings because the missionaries she had met with before had mentioned them, so we offered to come back next week with some hermanos to give her a blessing of health and she agreed! I am so amazed by her faith 🤩
- Yesterday we were able to go to an amazing family's house named Suyapa and David to have a family home evening with our friend Diego! It was such a spiritual lesson and he was just able to open up and share some of the struggles he has had, and it was so beautiful hearing the members' testimonies of the peace and strength they have received from living the gospel!
- On our way to the family's house last night both my companion and I had a prayer in our hearts that God would put someone un our paths that would be willing to hear our message. We were getting close to theie house and I saw this lady walking past and before I knew it I was complimenting her scarf and asking if she believed in God. Her name is Maricruz and she told us she was a believer and she has actually been searching for a church! She didn't have a ton of time but we got her number and made plans to meet on Saturday! It was so cool to see how God is always preparing people and He will provide as we ask in faith for opportunities to find 😁

Miracle: 
We contacted a woman on a bus last week that was interested in English class for her daughter! This week her daughter named Maria came to class, stayed for the young adults activity, came to the ward family home evening the next night, and to church on Sunday!! She said, tell me anything that has to do with church and I'll be there! We also had a lesson before the activity and after inviting quite a few members, I invited two sisters to join us in the lesson!! They turned out being the same age as Maria, from the same country, and able to share beautiful testimonies with her! It was awesome!

Spiritual Thought: 
I have loved teaching about the temple so much this week and it has reinforced my testimony so much of eternal families! I am so grateful for the knowledge that my family bonds will last after this life and I can be sealed with them forever 🫶

I love all of you and I hope you have a wonderful week 🫶
Hermana Hardy ❤️

We Three Queens

Hola mis queridos amigos!!  I hope you're all doing well! This week was probably one of the craziest and hardest weeks of my mission so far, but I know God gives us trials and changes to help us grow so I'm really trusting in Him right now! We received news on Tuesday during interviews that my companion Hermana Barrott is getting transferred mid transfer and she's leaving me 😭  I've been on the verge of tears all week, and I am just going to miss her so much!! I'm going to be a trio with Hermana Dickey and Amado though so I'm super excited for that!! TRIO TIME!! Highlights/ Fun facts: - We had zone p-day in Bilbao this Monday and it was so fun!! We all got matching sweaters as a district and it was so fun! We also did a white elephant exchange and a gingerbread house making competition and the matrimonios made us a delicious Christmas dinner which was so fun!! - We also had zone conference on Tuesday which was amazing!! I always love the trainings we get and th...

2 Months in the Mission!!

Image
Hola mis amigos!! I have officially been on my mission for 2 months this week, and I can't believe I'm already here! Adjusting to being a missionary is not an easy thing all the time. There are moments when I feel inadequate or lost with the Spanish or super tired or hot (it's literally so hot here haha) BUT I can promise that the joy of sharing the light of Jesus Christ outweighs it all! Jesus Christ and His atonement are what keeps me going, and I know with them I can face any challenge that are sure to come my way on my mission and in my life!  This week was full of so many miracles, and I can just promise that God is in charge of this work! He uses imperfect servants like me to complete His magnificent work, and I am just filled with Joy to be a part of it! We started off the week going to Madrid for Zone conference where I got to see some of my besties from the MTC and meet a bunch of missionaries which was awesome! We also had some great trainings that were super appl...

Feliz Año Nuevoo

Image
Hola mis queridos amigos!! 🥳🎆 Feliz año nuevo (happy new year)!! I can't believe it's already 2025!! As I was reflecting on this year I realized that I have been a missionary for half of 2024 and it is amazing!! The time has truly flown by which kind of scares me that the rest of my mission will do the same, but I am truly so grateful for every moment so far on my mission and the people I have been able to meet and serve and love! Being a missionary is not always easy, but it is truly the most fulfilling and joyfilled work anyone could ever do and I am so excited to spend 2025 continuing to serve the people of Spain 💛 Highlights/ Fun facts: - This week my companions and I have really been focusing on talking to as many people as we can during our travels because between balancing lessons with friends from both areas and also trying to work with the JAs (young adults) we don't have a ton of time in our schedule to focus on finding, and we have seen so many miracles!
