Spanish Lunch

Hey Fam!

So this week was great! The sun is shining and the weather is just like home :)  We get the occasional 30 mph wind accompanied by some rain but it clears up in like an hour and is back to sunshine.  

We had our Zone Training this week and we really focused on finding new people and obtaining unshaken faith. I got to give a discussion on unshaken faith and we searched for formulas on how to obtain this kind of faith in the Book of Mormon. We looked at 2 Nephi 31:19-20, Jacob 4:5-6, Enos, and Mormon 9:27-28. I have researched this topic quite a bit and have found that if I analyze what these great Prophets did to obtain that kind of faith that we can also gain this faith in any principle of the Gospel. It takes time but it is possible.

We had a fun lunch this week with the family here that are from Barcelona. They grew up in the Catholic religion and were baptized about four years ago. They fed us dinner last Sunday and we got talking about spanish food and so she said she would feed us a Spanish meal for lunch on Friday so we went and had tortilla Espanola and a Spanish salad. It was awesome. Elder Bishop does not like eggs so he had to deal with that and he really does not like vegetables so when Sister Ribera said you are supposed to rub the tomato juice all over the bread he almost flipped. I thought it was pretty funny.

I got sick this week and lost my voice which is kinda important to go and teach people but it's all good it is coming back and I should be all good in a day or two.

We still have a bunch of people we are trying to get in with and have appointments with many of them this week so hopefully all works out!

Thanks so much for all of your love and support!

Love,
Elder Holland
