Reyes in Spain

1/12/15  Not a whole lot happened this week, but we had a good week. We tried really hard to teach Felix, and a few others, but were unable to. We did however get to work with a lot of members this week. We had several dinner and lunch appointments, and I think the members are beginning to trust us a little more.

Funny story, on our way to a dinner with a family from Chile, we were walking down the street, and saw a man walking toward us. He was clearly drunk out of his mind, and we could tell from a mile away. He stopped us and started singing in his drunk voice, and blabbering on in some language I think was spanish. Anyways, super weird. But the dinner with this family from Chile was super fun! They are so funny and kind, and the food was delicious. We ate some kind of fried dough made with pumkin. We spent a lot of time talking and getting to know them, and then shared a little message from the Book of Mormon. I am really excited to get to know them better.

Yesterday we finally got an appointment with Israel. I forgot our keys for piso, which at first seemed like a bad thing, but turned out to be a miracle. While we were waiting outside for the other elders to come let us in, Israel and his family came by. He stopped to talk with us and told us that he had been very busy, but he really wants to visit with us, and that he feels he needs what we have. We set an appointment for today, and I can't wait to see how that goes! He sounds so golden, and he is so ready to hear our message.

I don't really have anything else to write about this week. Reyes was pretty fun. All people really do is eat Roscón. Roscón is basically a sweet bread with cream in the middle. They hide a figurine of a king, and a bean inside it somewhere, and whoever gets the king has good luck for the coming year, whoever gets the bean has to buy the roscón for next year. I got the king, so that's pretty cool I guess.

Oh, one more thing. I also went on my first day of splits with my zone leader. His name is Elder Burnett, and he is from Centerville, Utah (I think). I had a great time with him. He is so funny, and he is a great missionary. I hope I get to spend more time with him before he gets transfered.

All is well here in Spain, and I am adjusting well. Miss you all, and love you so much!!
