Long but fruitful week here in Spain.

 How to begin the week we had. Well we were only in our area for four days of the week because of zone conference. it was great. I sent a picture of a hike we did up the el Jesús in Oviedo. it was beautiful and it´s something that we´ll come and visit when I come back for visits. I will say the hike itself was hard, at one point we were going up what seemed to be a 40º slope in the pouring rain. Yes, I did slip a couple of times but Élder O´Boyle was there to laugh at me, so that made me feel better. On the hike I felt the scripture Heleman 5:12 come to me because there was so much rain and wind when we went up. I wanted to give in because I couldn´t see anything and I was soaking wet. But there was a clearing in the tree line for a moment and I saw that my destination wasn´t that far. We cannot see the future path may hold but if we have our desires set on Christ we don´t need to see it. He´ll make our path lighter and fruitful so long as we follow him.

 

I Love you.

Helaman 5:12 

And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.
