Hey

Life is so great on the mission. I have some good news for this Saturday, so we were at this house eating on Sunday, in this family the only member is the dad, he is married and has 2 daughters, one is 16 the other 4. so while we were eating, the wife of this man just flat out says ¨I want to get baptized this Saturday!¨ I about jumped out of my seat. Wow! So we are setting up an interview to make sure that she is ready. But that was just an awesome experience!

I am starting to understand Spanish a lot more. There are still a lot of people that everything they say just goes straight over my head. But other than that everything is going great with the language.

Today we went to an activity with the ward up in the mountains about an Hour from here. It is called Castalla if any of you want to look it up. It is muy bonita so I took a lot of pics. I am going to send a card home soon so you can be updated on pictures. Me and elder forrest have been working hard and the lord is blessing us with people. One good thing I learned this week is the importance of service. We were helping this lady and her ten year old son with a giant grocery bag, then we got stuck in the elevator at their apartment and then we taught them a lesson, all because we helped them with their groceries.

I learned another thing also, if you and your companion are always doing the right thing the lord will protect you. We were going to church and some one threw an egg at us and it seriously missed us by inches. So cool! Miracles happen all the time. Sometimes it takes me a few days to realize them but they are happening everywhere.

The church is true and I know the book of mormon brings the truth of our church. If you read the book of mormon, you will know without a doubt that the church is true. Moroni says it better than I do. But I am seeing this book change the lives of people here in Spain. My mission is going by fast. I can´t believe that I have almost been out 4 months. Wow

Well I love you all

Love
