This week went really well and we´ve had some awesome experiences happen! We´ve better our contacts in the streets and now we´re trying to meet with all of them. We´ve had sooo many lessons fail us! But that´s ok; it´s all part of missionary work! It´s been quite funny, really, seeing all of our hourly planned lessons get crossed off.
We have a baptismal date!! His names Luis and he´s from Cape Verde. He told us from the beginning that he´s been look for more peace in his life and thats why he´s listening to us. His families catholic but he isn´t. We set a baptismal date for the 17th of August and he accepted it inmediatamente. Afterwards, he told us that he´s been wanting to get baptized because he´s never been baptized and he wants it in his life! Wow, so powerful. He didn´t come to church on sunday, but he´ll be there next week. I called him and gave him a good talk and he said he´ll come from now on:) no more discos!
We were able to help 2 recent converts NOT go inactive and it was so powerful listening to their testimonies. they gave talks in church and the spirit was sooooo strong! Recent converts really have powerful testimonies.
Going to the temple this week was SO powerful and sooo needed!! My spirit just feels like it needs a spiritual boost, just like a body needs to sleep at night. I loved being able to sit in the celestial room and to soak it all in. I love the temple!
We have an investigator here who´s family is muslim and she wants to get baptized immedietly. She´s been investigating for 2 years now and her parents don´t even know that she´s graduated from seminary this year and that she´s even investigating the church. I don´t know what to do and we´ve had members tell her to run away and live with them. Part of me wants to give her advice, but I honestly don´t know what my place is with her. We shouldn´t tell her to abandon her family to be baptized, but we should also tell her to put Christ first into her life, etc. She´ll turn 18 in september so she´ll be able to make her her own decision...hopefully.
We have more progressing investigators (investigators who read) and its been nice seeing a little bit of the fruits of our labors. I love working here in Alcalá and its been so much fun seeing the success we´ve received. I hope to leave my area better looking than when i came!

The Elders have a recent convert here from Cameroon and he´s so amazing! He´s the most converted person to the gospel i´ve ever met. In a FHE, we were told to draw an island of our dream and he drew a picture of the tree of life and said he wanted to be there, to have eternal life with his family. WOW. His wife lives back in his country but he´s been telling her all about the church and she´s been demanding missionaries and a book of mormon!! the missionaries there haven´t even called her yet (after a long time), so we told Ebenezer that if he writes his testimony in a french book of mormon, WE would send it with the direction to the nearest capilla. He was sooo excited!!! It was great to be of service to someone.
Welp, I love ya family! Stay awesome and hopefully things will run smoothly in the trek!
Loves y mucho hugs
Hermana Smith, ¡LA TÍA!
