Where is Allyson and Jaclyn?? Do they live? Haha just kidding but seriosly you two havent written me back and i want to know whats going on in the Bible lands! Dad any news on the bank card? If not dont worry about it i can survive without another pair of shorts or i could just buy it with my debit card. It´s crazy that you and mom will be here in the promised land in just a couple weeks! I cant even imagine what that would be like seeing you two... i feel like ive been on my mission for my whole life. So it would be best to stay away from me so i dont freak out if i we crossed paths. But i really am so excited to have you guys see a little bit about what i live every day and travel around Spain. Im pretty sure you would be totally fine if you went to Barcelona because im an hour and a half away from Barcelona on Ave, which is a train that goes like 300 km/h... im not sure how much that is in miles/hour but its pretty stinking fast. Everyone seems to be asking about the weather here in Spain so heres the breakdown... it definitely doesnt get as cold here as it does back in utah, at least here in Lleida it doesnt. Up north by the mountains yeah it for sure snows during the winter. I havent experienced being in the dead of winter so im not exactly sure but my companion tells me that it gets super cold and you have to wear a scarf and gloves and like 3 suits and a couple shirts. Haha not that bad but yeah a scarf and coat over a suit definitley. I´ll let you know how it goes. Its just getting cold enough right now for us to start wearing our suits 24/7. The trees here kind of attempt to change colors but they dont really do that well. But yeah the leaves are starting to fall so its kind of fun to have a change. Alright enough of the spanish weather man.
Yesterday, Frank called us as we were walking to church and he said, "My brothers i am in a taxi right now on my way to church so i can arrive on time! But i do not know the street of the church and i do not know what my taxi driver is saying."(in his great Nigerian accent) Haha poor Frank doesnt understand a word of spanish. So he gave the phone to the driver and Elder Pericle told him how to get there. Frank showed up to church with his white shirt, tie and a vest. He didnt even have his Christ necklaces on which he ALWAYS wears. He even almost wore them during his baptism. He was so excited because he was going to get the priesthood. Hermano Jonni in the bishopric announced him during sacrament that he was going to get the priesthood and everyone sustained him and then Elder Pericle gave him the priesthood in english during the third hour. It was great. I know this work isnt just about baptizing people and then just going to find more people to baptize. Its about getting people on the straight and narrow and making sure that they stay on for their whole lives. This church is true. God hears our prayers. There´s nothing He wants more than for His children to return back home to Him. I love being a part of the work of the Lord. Every day changes my life and helps me realize even more how true this work is. Love you all. Until next week! Adeu (Adios in Catalan)
