Fam im in the mission field now!! i arrived to barcelona on wednesday at 11:30 with elders fica and prieto and hermana rejón and we went around the city a little bit with Pres and Sis Hinckley, then after that we ate lunch with them and had interviews. Then we went straight out to the field! we were all put with a companionship that live around barcelona and went working with them for the first night and then we slept over at their piso. thursday morning we went to the leadership meeting with all the leaders of the mission and we met our trainers! my trainer is Elder Pericle!!! all of the elders told me about a thousand times that i was getting the best elder in the mission. everyone loves him. he really is an amazing companion. he grew up in Virginia and he´s been out for a little over a year. he´s always smiling and he works very hard and has a ton of love for the people here. we were sent to serve in Lleida!! Elder Pericle has been here for 2 transfers i think and he´s the District Leader for our district. it´s about an hour and a half train ride north from barcelona and its SO hot and humid here. that was the first difference i noticed when i got to barcelona... its so much more humid than madrid. but i love it. it feels good to sweat so much haha. We live in a 4 person piso with Elder Rasmussen and Elder Tirado!! if you dont remember, Elder Tirado was my travel companion from the provo MTC to spain. its a ton of fun.
im being attacked right now by 2 little kids who are trying to talk to me but i have no idea what theyre saying haha. i still have a ton to learn with spanish but its coming slowly. i love lleida so far and i love the people here. there´s tons of africans and south americans here. this morning we did service with this member family from bolivia and we helped them move from their piso into another piso. it took about 6 hours! but it feels so good to help others in need.
I dont have much time but just letting everyone know that im here in lleida and im loving it. i´m still meeting all of our investigadors so i´ll tell you more about the work on monday. monday is our preparation day. our address here is:
C/ Mossen Reig. 4.3.1.
Lleida 25008
España
Love you all family. until monday! chao!
Elder Reeves
