Jesus came to church yesterday, for the third time in 5 weeks! How unbelievably cool is that? He likes it more every time, and he loves the gospel doctrine teacher (he should - he's an ex-Seventy and the institute teacher of most of Madrid.) I'm really starting to see miracles in this guy.
I made some goals in the last week, as today marks my 6 months to home (or to a car to tour Europe :). I've also done a lot of thinking. I have gotten so close to the Book of Mormon during my time as a missionary. I know without a doubt it is what it claims to be - scripture, the word of God, written for ME, TODAY, and for the rest of my life. I have gotten closer to my Savior, and most of my goals are for becoming more like Him. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, right? I'll be honest, I'm not sure when I've enjoyed myself more than as a missionary. I have more headaches with my companion (almost daily... Today he asked my to buy a sword with the mission's money), but I am learning so much, and I'm learning how to love people I don't even know. Being a missionary helps me see them all as children of God, and that, to me, is a marvelous work and a wonder.
Well Mom, there's a little of my testimony. I love you, and I love being a missionary!
