So we had our transfer meeting in the mission home, and I was called to serve in Zaragoza with Elder Contreras. He is from Argentina, and he is super awesome! I arrived in Zaragoza on Wednesday night, and from what little I saw, there are some really cool bridges here! Such cool architecture. There is also a huge cathedral just down the street from our Piso.
The members here are super nice, and love to talk to the missionaries. That's great, but I really can't ever understand what they are saying. I live with three native Spanish speakers though, so I'm sure I'll learn really fast.
This week was mostly spent getting everything organized and ready to go. This is a white wash area, which means that both me and my trainer are new to this area. We don't know anyone or anything. Talk about getting thrown into deep water. We spent a lot of time going through everyone in our area book, and set up a couple of appointments, but most all of them fell through. I did get to teach an English class my first day, and that was really fun. It's really funny having all of these Spanish people beaming at me when I speak English. They always have me pray in English, and they get so excited.
Although we didn't have any lessons this week, I know the work will progress much faster now that we are all organized. It's hard to get started when both of us are new, but this next week we are planning to teach several investigators. I'm really excited to get working here in Zaragoza, and to serve the people here.
Love you guys, and hope all is well back home.
