Last week in the MTC

''God cares a lot more about who we are and who we are becoming,

than about who we once were.''

 

Elder McMillan, the Canadian Blue Chicken.

Hello. This was a good week. We have native speakers now and I´ve had to use more Spanish because of it. One of them, Elder Veis, Speaks: English, Spanish, French, and Swiss German. He can understand me but I can´t understand him when he speaks German.

The park this week was the best I had in terms of numbers. Elder Renner and I gave out seven copies of the Book of Mormon, had in depth conversations with 28 people, and received one referral from a young couple. But I didn´t feel that accomplished.

 

Elder Renner and I at the Park.

We were walking towards this couple that had a poodle running around them.  We began talking to them and found out that they spoke German, Spanish, and English. The dog came up and licked my hand and the lady said she doesn´t do that to a random stranger. We talked about why we´re here as missionaries and she asked if we had a book to give her. They declared themselves as Catholic but she has been going through a real rough time. We bore our testimonies in English about why we know the Book of Mormon is true. She loved them.  We then asked for their information so missionaries that spoke the language could come over and talk more about the Book of Mormon. She said no. Her father told her to read a good book when she was in a rough time. Not sure if she meant read any book or a special book. But I felt the spirit, Elder Renner felt the Spirit, and they felt the spirit. Still wanting to know why she refused.

I leave the CCM for the Streets of Madrid in four days. I´m happy for that.

I truly do love this work even though I had a rough last two weeks in the CCM. 

 

Love

Elder Broadbent.
