Friends and Family,
Due to the closing of the Malaga, Spain mission, I have been reassigned to the Madrid mission!! I'm still staying in the Granada area with Elder Tabilo, but my mission now includes the entire West half of Spain. A lot of my really good friends were assigned to the Barcelona Mission, so that's a little sad but I'll get to meet even more missionaries!
On Saturday, we held the baptism of J___, who was taught by the sister missionaries in Granada. He is 20 years old and is Spaniard and he is super cool. He is one of the most humble people I've met here in Spain, and he also has a really strong testimony of Jesus Christ! On Sunday, he was confirmed a member of the church, and right after the meetings, he offered to drive one of our investigators, Luis, home! L___ lives in Huertor Tajar, which is a tiny town about 30 min. from Granada. We have been really worried about receiving help from the ward to get him to church, so this was definitely an answer to lots of prayer and fasting.
L___ is from Bolivia and he is 17 years old. If he gets permission from his parents, he'll get baptized this Thursday along with another man in his 20's named A____. L___ has had some amazing answers to prayers which have given him an incredible desire to be baptized.
An amazing thing that I've seen in my short time in Granada is that we teach so many young people. My first week here in Granada, an 18 year old from Venezuela named J____ was baptized. He's a beast and a really good friend!
This week we went to a few towns that are really far away from Granada to pass by a few people, and we found some of the coolest houses I've ever seen! If you've seen Lord of the Rings this little town was literally the Shire (see pics below). Like all the houses were built in the rocks and hills and it was super cool! Granada is so beautiful!
