Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the father: Ye shall have eternal life. -2 Nephi 31:20

Oficina week 1 - Mas noticias

Family I finally have preparation day!! Its been a week and a half since my last one and now im in the office! We usually have preparation day on wednesdays in the office but this week is on thursday because it was transfer week. I got here to Barcelona on tuesday morning and got thrown right into the work here in the office. There is SO much stuff to do and ive been probably the most tired ive ever been in the mission. Im in a trio right now with Elder Call, who is the finaciero who´s going to be leaving, and Elder Krasnoselsky, the Registrador. Elder Call is from Alabama and Elder Krasnoselsky is from Argentina!! So im going to be with another native! But he speaks perfect english and loves speaking it so i try to speak to him in spanish but he just answers back in english haha but he´s such a good Elder. Its tons of fun. The other Elders in the office are Elder Tyler, who came in with me on tuesday and has been getting taught by Elder Bronson, who is over the Distribution stuff, and then there´s Elder Hastings who is the secretary of President. So onto the new news..................
Elder Call has been teaching me how to do all the finance stuff and he´ll be leaving in a couple weeks once he teaches everything there is to know. I was learning a bunch and getting the hang of things these last two days and it hasnt been too much fun haha but somebody has to do it. There´s tons of money we work with and all the bills we have to pay for the pisos and for utilities. Elder Tyler was getting taught by Elder Bronson about the distribution stuff these last 2 days but then... this morning we were on our way to the office and Elder Bronson called me and asked me if i had heard the news. I was like "what news?". Then he said "President walked in this morning to the office and said, "I hope everyone hasnt gotten too comfortable yet because i woke up during the night last night and i felt like we have to make some changes."" So pretty much everything i learned in the last 2 days doesnt matter because im getting changed to be over the distribution!! pretty crazy because i totally wasnt expecting it. But i am SO happy that i dont have to do the financial stuff haha it really is so boring. So i feel pretty bad for Elder Tyler but President has a purpose in it. So starting tomorrow im going to start working with Elder Bronson and he´s going to be teaching me about everything over distribution. I think it just consists of buying stuff for pisos and replacing furniture and giving out the supplies for all the missionaries. Im super excited to do it. Plus we get to like drive to ikea and buy a bunch of stuff which will be fun. Elder Krasnoselsky will still be my companion but we´re just switching the callings.
This past week has been nuts but we still see miracles every day. We work in the office all day until 6 in the afternoon and then we proselyte till 10. There´s so many good investigators that we´re teaching here. We have a couple of fechas set for the 24 of this month and we´re still working with them. The investigators in Lleida have been getting attacked by satan and when i left, every single investigator had some kind of doubt or problem in their life. But Elena still has a date for the 24th. We still dont know whats going to be happening with La Seu and Andorra but hopefully i´ll still be going up there every week with another companion.
Alright i´ll talk to you next wednesday. Mom and dad, as far as the christmas call i´ll probably be able to call in the morning for you guys in new york. Our ward here ends at 1, which is 7 in the morning in new york i think. Im not sure exactly what time i´ll be able to call but probably around 8 or 9 in the morning, new york time. i should know better next week so i´ll let you know. Loves

Elder Reeves
