Okay so three things for this week:
Intercambio to Martorell: This week I went to Martorell, a town outside of Barcelona about an hour and a half away from Sabadell. It was beautiful but wildly hot! I got to work with Hermana Gillette and Hermana Stott (who is brand new). They pointed out that apart from one hermana I am the next one to go home (along with Hermana Benson) so I am now what we in Spain call...OLD. It was so weird to think about that because I still feel so new and I feel like everyday I am still learning so much especially on intercambios. Here I was working with two relatively young missionaries and learning so much from them. It made me realize what a bright future this mission has, we are seeing miracles everyday and I'm sure that is happening in every part of the world. I feel so blessed to be a missionary and I sometimes just wish I could stay here forever, I don't want to miss out on all of this growth but I am so glad I am getting this opportunity and I know that I have still have a lot of miracles left despite being "old."
Amable: I'm going to go a little out of order. This story is to be continued, so just a heads up I'm going to keep it short. We always see this homeless man named Amable on the streets. I don't remember if I have already mentioned it but he has stopped by to listen when we have street lessons with other people so the other day we started talking to him. He doesn't ask for help from anyone which really sparked my attention anyway long story short we have found him a place to shower, found him clothes, an elder is going to cut his air and he has agreed to come to church this week. I'll keep you posted.
Okay now for the miracle: So remember how I told you about Fabiola. She and her husband have been less active for 15 years. We started helping her to read a couple of months ago and her testimony of the Book of Mormon has become so strong and I think I told wrote earlier about how she said even if she only gets one vacation day all of next year she wants it to be a Sunday. Well last thursday she and her husband Cesar came to the activity we have every week and they ran into so many old friends that they said they would for sure come on Sunday even if they could only come for a little bit because of Fabiola's job. On Sunday when we saw them on the bus Fabiola told me she had a miracle to tell me. Someone called the other day offering her another job, a better job and where she doesn't work Sundays. I don't know what the unemployment rate for Spain is right now but this "crisis" has rocked the country and no one can find work so to have someone just call you up when you weren't even in the market offering a job is nothing short of MIRACULOUS. She called her boss and her boss respected her decision because it was for her religious beliefs. I started tearing up and was speechless. I still am. What a blessing from God.
I love you all so much. I am still seeing miracles every single day. I hope you are too.
Hermana Tuttle
