Madrid for an awesome meeting!

This week was not so bad. We got to hear a general authority, That was quite a story. His name is Elder Ulysses Soares, of the presidency of The Seventy. We talked about how it's needed to plan and set goals on what we can achieve. The reason why that was the main topic was that many times we view as setting a goal a personal matter, but in reality, we need to set goals as a companionship. I'm no general authority when I say this but that's what we need in this world now. The ability to set goals with others is present so we can achieve the expectations that god has for us as members of his church. Start it off with the hopes and goals as spouses, family, neighborhoods, etc. I believe that God created us with a greater capacity to help one another more than to hurt one another. So, I invite those who read this to make and set plans on what can you and another can do to help build another up.

Yeah, the Èlders told me they had to throw it out. But I found Carlos! A member will ship it to me when he goes to Toledo! So, we'll have him home!

Oh, yes and Madrid was pretty cool 😎.

Con amor ❤️
Elder Broadbent.

 

 

Train to Madrid

Right now, we are on a bullet train to Madrid! We're heading in with the entire mission to a conference with the area presidency and quorum of the seventy. So, we'll be in Madrid for this whole week basically. But the good news is that I'll be in all of my old areas in Madrid! B5, B6, and I'll be staying with the elders in Guadalajara! I'm going to make the effort to visit Ourense within the next week.

But this week was awesome we have two people set up for a baptism the 11 of march. Their names are Rudy and Claudia. We have high hopes for a baptism by the end of this transfer. Other than that, yesterday was a spectacular day. We received eight numbers in the space of one hour and one actually come up to us for the Book of Mormon. We definitely have the ball rolling here and we hope to keep it going.

Èlder Moreno is a hippy from Sandy, Utah.

He had dreadlocks and he liked it. He's an awesome guy.

Love you!

I'll be dying here in Ponferrada😁

 

Well this week we had transfers. Élder Baerwaldt went down to Madrid again and I'm staying up here Ponferrada. So, do not be concerned with the title of this letter it just means I am ending my mission here. Any good stories of the week? Let me think…….

Yesterday we had four people come to church! They are both families. One where the investigator brought her sister to do genealogy and the other is a family that we found this week through area book. We have huge hopes for them to see what we have in the future and we expect the possibility of baptizing a family this transfer. So yes, we are extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely happy! OK onto the next story.

I have a funny story for you today. This last Saturday was raining a huge amount and there were rivers running through the streets. My companion likes water a lot. He was walking through it and he decided to go into the deep part. As he did he stepped into a puddle that swallowed his whole foot. His shoes were sopping wet. I asked him, “What did you learn?” He said only to run in the puddles that are clear.

Well my new comp comes today late at night so I won't be able to send you pics of him until next pday. But I love you all.
