Hola mis queridos amigos!!  I hope you all had an amazing week! This week was awesome and flew by!

Hola mis queridos amigos!!  Happy Easter!! I hope you all were able to enjoy celebrating the resurrection of our Savior!! It is so joyful and I know He lives! I can't believe it's already been a week and I'm writing again! We had a busy week and just keep seeing so many miracles! Highlights/ Fun facts: - We met with our cute friend Itzel on Tuesday and as we were teaching about the gospel of Jesus Christ we felt super prompted to invite her to be baptized!

Then she came to church on Sunday and stayed for the baptism after and was just so cute and excited for her own!  - We went out to visit a member named rosemary and her daughters on Tuesday who live in a far away pueblo and haven't been visited since they moved here from Peru, but they are so cute and we had a great time visiting with them!! - We met with our friend Naid on Wednesday and as we were teaching her about the gospel and specifically baptism, we also felt prom...

  Hola mis queridos amigos!! Another great week serving the Lord and this week flew by!! It was my first full week here in Bilbao and we saw so many miracles! Even though at times it is hard finding balance with all our responsibilities, I have veen constantly reminded this week that this is truly God's work as we did our best to work diligently, we continued to see miracles and reach our goals  Highlights/Fun facts: - We started the week off super sunny which was so nice! We were able to do some studies outside and have a picnic after district council which was delightful! I am so excited that we finally made it to spring and everything is coming alive again! - I had my first exchange as an STL this week and I was honestly pretty nervous because I had only been in my area for about three days and I was going to lead out our exchange, but it went great!

Hola mis queridos amigos! Highlights/Fun facts: - On Monday a few members got together with our friends in the church to have a final meal before I left Pamplona and it was so sweet! We had a great time and even though it was super hard to say goodbye I am so grateful for the friendships that I've made that will last for long after my mission  - On Tuesday we met with Ana one last time and it was such a spiritual lesson. We both just teared up as I thought about how much love I feel for her and I know God has for her! I was just able to testify that her Heavenly Father knows her and even though I won't be there to keep taking care of her, I know that she will always be taking care of by Him! - We had lunch with Nieves and her boyfriend Adrian who is meeting with the missionaries now and our favorite family Esperanza, Sara, and Valentina   We had the cutest lunch and I just love them so much!! - On Wednesday we headed down to Madrid and I spent the next couple days waiting...
