Mom and dad it sounds like youre loving it here in the promised land!! Thats so neat about the people youve been able to visit with Pres and Sis Taylor. How long are you staying here? Greg and Brittany are here right now?? what the... where have you gone? what have you seen?? Thanks SOOOOOOO MUCH for the package. It was everything that i needed! Especially the candy bars... that was probably the most important part of the package. All the nieces and nephews are looking good!! Theyre getting huge! Happy birthday to Aidan and Shelby and Eric! Sorry for everyone else who ive missed. Its hard to remember like 60 birthdays from our family. Alright so on to whats happening in the mission life...
Today is transfers and im staying here in Lleida!! Elder Pericle left me this morning and he´s on his way to go to be zone leader on the ISLANDS! Crazy huh? He´s going to be on La Palma Mayor and usually when youre called to the islands youre for sure there for at least 6 months. Im so excited for him but im going to miss him like crazy. But i have a new companion coming and we´re going to pick him up in like 10 min! His name is Elder Bajaña!! Yes he´s a NATIVE!!! Just what i wanted! He´s from Ecuador and only has like 3 transfers left in the mission. He can understand pretty much everything in english but doesnt speak it too much which makes me happy because im going to be learning a ton of spanish. Ive definitely been so blessed on the mission and i cant wait to work with Elder Bajaña. The Lord has been helping me progress a ton in the language and now im just going to progress more. He has actually been in my zone for the past 2 transfers but he´s been in Tarragona which is a different district so ive only been with him like 3 times. Im super excited.
This sunday we had stake conference and Danny who was baptized on September 17th got the Melchezidek priesthood! He is progressing so fast and he´s so strong in the church. He´s still not sure about a mission but we´re trying to help him have the desires to go. It´s so amazing to see someone progress in the church and receive the blessings of the gospel. All of our recent converts are doing so good. Danny got the priesthood and Maria and Frank both came with us to stake conference too. We´re still trying to visit them once a week and help them stay on the straight and narrow.
We had a fecha with a guy from Tanzania (yeah Jess and Reid i knew you would be excited) named Steven set for the 12th but he wasnt able to come to Barcelona for stake conference so we have to set it again for a later date. He is such a humble and good man and has a ton of desires to learn more. While we taught him the first lesson this past week and we were telling him the story about Joseph Smith he looked at us wide eyed, sitting at the edge of his couch and asked, "is it REALLY true??" We testified to him of its truthfulness and he just loved it. He is married to a lady from here and they have 2 kids: a son that´s 8 and a daughter that´s 7.
