An adventure to Narnia ...

6/1  So first things first, you all know that my new companion is Elder Johnson. He is from Utah as well from a city called Fruit Hights. Never heard of it? Me either, but he told me it is right by Kaysville. He is just about finished with his mission. He will be leaving in two transferes, so that either means I am only staying here for one, or I'll stay for 3 more. He is a really cool guy, and we get a long so well! I know I have pretty much said that about everyone, but we really have had a great first week. Super excited to see what we can do here in Vilafranca over the next month!

Elder Johnsons second day here, we went to visit Monica. We had a great lesson about the word of wisdom in which we learned that she is already living it. She told us that she has absolutely no problem with any of those things. It made me really happy to hear that. After that great lesson, the real adventure began. We had to go out to visit an old member named Azucena who lives way out in Narnia. Really, we had to climb up into the mountains and walk for 30 minutes to reach her humble home way out in the middle of nowhere. She is a really nice lady though, and her testimony is very strong. She is one of those naturalist people that believes living like the indians is the only way to live, but she is really a great person. 

When we finally hiked all the way back, we went to Julio's house to eat. Julio is the old ward mission leader who helps us a lot with visits. Julio always cooks so much food, and it is always super good too. This time he cooked something called Milanesa (could be spelled wrong...). It is kind of like a battered and fried steak. It was super good! We then accompanied him to a hometeaching visit that went on a bit longer than planned, and we were in a panic to get all the way back to Vilafranca in time for a visit. After a while, Teo, Julio's hometeaching companion, decided to drive us all the way back. It was funny because Teo doesn't speak much spanish, but he said ¨God has just told me to drive you to the chapel¨ and so that is what he did. Over all, it was a really fun adventure.

Malena and her family are still doing good, and we plan to visit them on Wednesday. Unfortunately, still nothing on Lana. A little discouraging, but we are working hard to find her and get her baptized.  In other news, iPads are on the way. Rumors have been spread that we might be getting them this Thursday. Don't know if they are true, but it could happen. I'll keep you updated.
