Friends and Family,
Pretty crazy week with interviews on Monday, zone conference on Tuesday, exchanges on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then we were in a trio for the rest of the week which was way too much fun. We had tons of family nights, and T____ came to church!! He met with the branch president and is really getting his life back together! Today we did this huge hike through this big valley. It took like 5 hours...
You may notice that I'm not emailing from my church email (I'm obedient I promise lol). A few people from our mission got their emails shut down on accident so it will take a week or so until its back up and running.
I also hit my 6 months which was weird. I feel pretty Spaniard already its gonna be awful by the time I'm done. Spaniards, like all humans, have some pretty weird quirks that are true 100% of the time. For example: every Spaniard male over the age of 50 walks slower than a snail, slightly hunched over, with both hands behind his back. His left hand will stick out and his right hand will grab the wrist of his left hand. This is how old Spaniard men walk while they bicker about which 7th century saint is the most significant. Gotta love them! Good thing is that if you contact an old Spaniard guy right in from of him, it will take too much work for him to go around you so he doesn't have a choice but to listen! I love the Spanish people!! Just a little weird.
Here's a pretty cool quote from Elder Holland: "There is not a single loophole or curveball or open trench to fall into for the man or woman who walks the path that Christ walks. When he says, “Come, follow me” (Luke 18:22), he means that he knows where the quicksand is and where the thorns are and the best way to handle the slippery slope near the summit of our personal mountains. He knows it all, and he knows the way. He is the way." I know there is no other way to salvation except through Jesus Christ!
