Hola!
Alright so to start off can I just tell you
that I seriously ate like 8 chicken hearts this last week! No complaints the
Hma. Mambo is the sweetest person ever to make paella for all of the
missionaries in between conference sessions yesterday but I do think I deserve
props. They had the pulmonary trunk and everything! (ya, I kind of miss
anatomy) They were only as big as a quarter or something and tasted just like
chicken but whatevs that's pretty much the most exciting news.
Oh wait! Nope, I have got something else super
exciting. So this week has been rough not going to lie. I'm able to find
miracles in every single day of course but the area is just a little slow at
the minute and to add to that Rosemary has started to check out. I don't know
how much is appropriate to write about but basically it's just a tricky
situation with a husband who isn't totally supportive but they still came to
conference which was awesome (Manuel even came to the priesthood session).
Anyway, we were super worried we were losing her and we didn't know if she
could really feel how much we love her and how she can trust us but then last
night as we were street contacting around Benimaclet before it was time to head
back home we ran into them talking to a member! When we came up they smiled and
said "We are talking about our testimonies!" After a little talking
the member left, Manuel started talking to Hermana Barker and Hermana Walker
and Rosemary started talking to me. She said: "I had a dream about you
last night Hermana Tuttle (well she said Chuddle which was super cute), Manuel
and I had gotten in a fight and he left, I laid down and cried myself to sleep
when I had a dream that you came up to me and said 'levantate. Toda estará
bien.' (get up, everything is going to be okay). I was a little confused but
then the phone rang, it was Manuel. He apologized for everything and said
'let's go for a walk' and on that walk we ran into a member that helped us a
lot and now you." She started to tear up a little and just said, "I
have never dreamed that clearly about someone Hermana. I have never trusted
someone the way I can trust you. I know with you I can say anything and you
would never judge me. You have been the angel God knew I needed." It was
one the most incredible moments of my mission. Odds are I am going to get transferred
this next week where I have already spent a third of my mission here so I won't
be able to see her get baptized but I'm so grateful that I got to be a part of
the conversation of such an incredible woman. It makes me think of the hymn
More Holiness Give Me "More used I would be."
General Conference was nothing short of
amazing, I still haven't seen the Sunday afternoon
session and haven't had a lot of time to look over my notes but President
Uchtdorf's, Sister Reeves' and Elder Christofferson's talk are the ones that
stick out most in my mind right now (no surprise those three are always at the
top of my list). Especially President Uchtdorf's quote: Doubt your doubts
before you doubt your faith. I had a lot more quotes that I loved but I left my
notebook at home, I'll include a couple more next week. Oh and just in case
anyone besides my mom has interested on the little details of missionary life
most of the stake watched General Conference in our chapel here in Valencia.
The big room was obviously spanish and then there was a room for missionaries
and Nigerians to watch it in English. We sat in there and ate tons of junk food
it was rough! I have never eaten so much sugar in a weekend because not only
did we have General Conference but it was Hma. Walker
Well those are some of the highlights of this
week. Hope everything is going fantastic back in Utah
Love always,
Hermana Tuttle
