Hola familia!! I just want to thank everyone for your prayers for my visa because they worked really really REALLY well. I found out that my visa came in last wednesday but i couldn´t go to see the consolate for Spain until monday (June 26). So i got my visa back on monday and then they gave me my flight plans right away and i was on a plane tuesday morning at 8:30 on my way to Spain. It was pretty crazy getting my flight plans and realizing that i was leaving the very next morning. There were 10 other Elders and 2 Sisters coming to the Madrid MTC (none of them from my zone) and we had a layover in Atlanta and then left tuesday afternoon for Madrid. We landed here in Madrid at 9:30 AM (Madrid time). So it was 1:30 AM Utah time when we landed. I maybe got an hour of sleep on the flight so im going on about 5 hours of sleep in the past 2 days. I feel great! except that i almost fall over whenever i get up to start walking. They dont let you go to bed until tonight so you get used to the time zone.
i shouldn´t even be complaining though because im pretty sure i found paradise here. This MTC is amazing! It´s right next to the Madrid Templo, even on the same grounds. The food was way too good to be MTC food and they have the nicest showers i have ever seen in my entire life. I feel so bad for everyone still in Provo haha sorry friends! I dont have very much time to write today but tomorrow is Pday so i´ll be able to write a lot more. Just letting everyone know that i´m here and safe. I love Spain already! I know Heavenly Father answers prayers and there´s a reason for me to be here right now. I dont know why Heavenly Father blesses me so much but im definitely humbled to be here in Spain. I love my family so much. You are all amazing examples to me. I hope all is well in everyone´s lives and i´ll talk to you tomorrow! Adios from España.
Love, Elder Reeves
