I just want to start out by wishing my dad a happy father's day yesterday, I hope you got my letter on time and I hope you can feel my love from the "other side of the pond." I love you so much and I owe every miracle I am seeing here to you. Thank you for supporting me and my decision to serve and for always being my hero and example. HAPPY LATE FATHER'S DAY!
The weeks just keep being more and more amazing but are flying by!!!! This week we had zone conference which was perfect. I got to spend the night in Hermana Walker (my old trainee's piso which was fun because it was her year mark, can you believe that it was almost year ago that I picked her up from Barcelona...WEIRD!!!! and we made real brownies (American mix and everything) to celebrate and it was delicious!) but anyway, the meeting was amazing! President and Hermana Pace continue to absolutely inspire me. Before and after each of the conferences they go around and shake hands/hug all of the missionaries. It was really bittersweet when a lot of us realized this is our last zone conference... can you believe it? I got to teach about whatever topic I wanted. I couldn't think of what to do so the zone leaders suggested I teach about my strongest point unity. It was so fun to study and teach about it because it really is something I feel passionate about.
I'm almost out of time (sorry I wanted to get some writing done to some members that I haven't seen for a while and email time just flies) but I do want to say that Joan Pau is still doing really well. He is staying strong and his testimony is growing more and more everyday. In church we continue to have 10-14 less actives every week and slowly they are coming back to activity. Some of them are even going out with us and the elders on visits and their testimonies are SO STRONG! I feel blessed to be a part of their lives I truly do.On Saturday we did a "rescue" activity where all of the ward council members and the missionaries went out to visit a bunch of less active families for a couple of hours. We all split up and the member I went with, Mary, and I had 3 visits! It went really well and then we had a little barbecue at the church with the six of us missionaries and 2 or 3 investigators/recent converts for each companionship, it was great.
Sorry this email is all over the place but just know that I am so grateful to be here, I truly feel that Hermana Noakes and I are getting to be instruments in the Lord's hands here in Sabadell. I have never felt so in tune to the spirit in my life. This week I went on an intercambio to Zaragoza and they had set up all of the hardest people for us to visit (and rightly so because intercambios are a great way to get another missionary's opinion) and I found myself praying so hard at all times just hoping I could help these people that I had never met before and I can testify with all of my heart I felt the Spirit speaking through me more than any other day in my mission, in my life. Every visit we left and I couldn't even remember what I had told them, the things I said to those people we were blessed to visit that day weren't my words at all. It was a very humbling experience.
I love you all so much and hope everything is wonderful.
Hermana Tuttle
