¡Hola!
Well I had a nice conversation with Mom and Dad yesterday. The Rays joined
in for a while. And luckily, mostly due to technical issues, I was able to say
"hi" to the Reeds for 5 minutes before ending the call. For those of you who
could not be a part of the phone call here is a quick update. I had to go to
Barcelona for a few days to take care of some residency. I am finally legal
again!!! That was really fun. We had some free time before a visit so we haggled
with a Muslim man to sell us cheap fake Barç jerseys. I bought Piqué and Alexis.
I really love the city of Barcelona. It has become a home away from home for me.
It felt so nice returning there for few days, hearing Catalan again, seeing all
the palm trees. I LOVE BARCELONA!!
Everything is still amazing in Burgos. This week was filled with many
amazing miracles. I would say that the biggest miracle is with Felix´s mother.
She was quite angry about his baptism. This week after praying with Félix and
his wife, she felt that she needed to be baptized too! It is a complete miracle.
The Spirit of God can soften any heart.
Tuesday morning we did not have any fijo-ed visits planned. Thus we decided
to use this time to pass by some antiguos. Upon leaving piso we prayed to find a
family to baptize. Througout the morning we only ever came across old, grumpy
men who did not want anything to do with us. Finally as were returning to piso
we saw our family. We were only one block away from piso when we saw a young
Ecuatorian family walking towards us. We immediately started talking to them. As
it turns out the wife has relatives who are members in Ecuador. We had our first
visit on Saturday. They accepted our invitation to be baptized, however we will
set the actual fecha during our next visit when we will also meet their 11 year
old daughter. We prayed to find a family. And of course God answered our
prayers!
Another miracle happened Wednesday right before English class. A man walked
into the capilla and told us that he was ready to take his life seriously and
make some changes. He is an old investigator that attended church years ago. Now
he is ready to accept the Gospel. We asked him to come back later after English
class to have a visit. He came and accepted a baptismal date! On Sunday we were
not expecting him to come because he told us that he had a prior commitment with
another church. We were quite surprised when he walked into Gospel Principle
class!
¡Hasta luego!
Love,
Elder Buchkovich
