Ether 12:6

Hola familia!!!

Como estan??? This week was pretty normal with lessons and all but HC

went to Madrid and I got a new companion Hermana Hinton, she was
actually in my district and her area was like 45 away and I see her a lot 
for zone conference and stuff like that and she's stayed in our piso a couple
of times, so it's kinda weird but she's cool it should be fun. She has
9 months in the mission and is from Colorado. I really just do not
remember what happened this week, nothing too exciting. I ate
ceviche(raw fish soaked in onions and lemon juice) definitely not my
fav, I ate with Esperanza, she is Peruvian and the same girl that gave
me heart, I might have to stop eating with her😝 we found a new
investigator this week, Robel. He is from senagal and is Catholic. He
is very stuck on the idea of modern day prophets. We taught a Romanian
guy who believes God doesn't have a body and he tried to convince us
of that for like awhile. His wife though was really interested in what
we had to say but believes that there is no other book but the Bible
and she has to talk to her pastor to see if we can come back. The
weather this week, it's like soooo off and on. Like one minute it's
like so hot and then the next it's raining🙄 I guess that's just A
Coruña. Today for pday, we took HC to the train station but there was
some miscommunication with the the office elders and nobody had
actually gotten her a ticket so when she went to buy one all the
tickets for the 9 train were gone so she had to go at 11 so we sat in
the train station and then went grocery shopping but played ping pong
with the elders at the park and that was fun. I can't believe it's
almost June!!! May went by so fast. Well everybody have a good week!!!
Love you all lots! Sending you my love!

¡Hola familia!

¿Como estan? My week was kinda slow because we had the open doors for
the new capilla so we had to be in the church all Thursday Friday and
Saturday and all day Tuesday we passed out flyers. So we didn't have a
lot of times for lessons but we made use of the time we did. Sad
story, we had to drop Juan Carlos this week because he came to church
yesterday and before church president was talking to him and Juan
Carlos started yelling at president. I don't know why but he was in a
war and he has like that post war disease so he is a little bit crazy
and the elders took him outside and told him that he should probably
go home and then Juan Carlos told them that the church is some secret
service for the government and he is part of the Cuban Mafia and we
are done teaching him for right now. We did have 3 menos activos at
church yesterday for the dedications for the capilla which was
awesome!!!! also, we have these "my family" books that needed to be
filled out so while I was sitting in the capilla during slow times I
was on family tree and I was reading stories about everybody and
somebody put Big Ron's homecoming talk and wow it was so good!!!! I'm
really grateful I was able to find that!  Also for pday we got chocolate churros because that's what we did on our first day and this was very possibly our last. And we ate at Burger King with Solange because she lives cerca. Anyway, that was my week!! Sounds like your guys was very exciting and eventful!!!!
Love you all!!!!!!!

¡hola familia!

How was everybody's week? Mine was crazy awesome!! Elder David A
Bednar was awesome!!!! He did a q and a, he asked us questions and we
asked him questions. I learned sooo much and he was soooo funny!!! I
didn't ask or answer a question, and we didn't get to shake his hand
but that's ok it was just a great day, maybe I will send a picture of
my notes there's just so much. It was just an awesome weekend. We went
down Thursday with the Bakes and it wasn't bad at all, I just slept
and they made us cookies😋 and then we went to an area called torrojon
which was super fun because that's where are all the African Americans
are and I met a lot of them and they were so fun and funny and there's
a lady in their ward who owns a bakery who needed help so we helped
her make cookies and I got to roll out the fondant🤗 basically the
next Cake Boss😛 and then Friday HC got her residency and we stayed
with different hermanas closer to where elder Bednar would be. One of
the girls served in A Coruña so that was fun and it was fun to just
follow somebody around and not really have to worry about anything.
Sunday we went to church in the morning and came back to A Coruña in
train. It was a really fun weekend. I learned a lot and I hope that i
can apply what I learned and better myself-as a person and missionary.
This week was so crazy that's all I remember happening. Today for pday
we played soccer all together it was fun. Tomorrow we are handing out
flyers for the open house and dedication of the new church which is
happening Sunday! Well the open house is Saturday. But all the
missionaries in our zone are coming to help and so one of the hermanas
and elders stayed the night in a Coruña so they didn't have to spend
money going back to their area so there was lots of us playing soccer.
The hermanas are staying with us, it's a packed apartment but fun!
It's going to be another crazy week but I'm looking forward to it!
Love you all!!!!❤️❤️❤️

¡Hola familia!

 I forgot to tell you about this weeks weather! We had about
four days of just straight heat and sun! It was really hot but I
enjoyed it. And because it was so random and I was not used to it I
got a little bit sun burnt. And the other days, it was cloudy and it
rained a little bit off and on but not pouring rain. So the weather
was really random this week but not freezing or pouring rain so I'll
take it. For pday, hc and I went to the mall and I bought sunscreen so
I won't get sunburnt anymore! We went to the mall and ate at this
Asian restaurant the elders really liked for lunch.


This is crazy, for Elder Bednar, hc has to renew her residency in Madrid so we are going down Thursday and come back Sunday. Isn't that weird? So the married couple missionaries in Santiago(like an hour away) will pick us up on
Thursday in a Coruña and we will go down in car😑 but Sunday after
sacrament meeting we will come back by train. It will be interesting.
But I'm excited to see Elder Bednar! I have been reading some of his
talks and he is a very wise man! We might have the opportunity to go
to the temple too! Well I think that's what I missed telling you in
Skype. Well I love you all!!! Have a good week! Let me know of any cool experiences with Libro de Mormon challenge!

¡hola familia!

¿Como estan? First off, I get 40 minutes to skype, I am very excited
to see you all!!!! And I am excited to show you my new clothes!!! Oh,
I went shopping today, and bought some stuff and spent some money😝
the shopping is really good here!!! Pretty cheap and cute!!! I got 4
shirts, 2 pairs of shoes, 2 skirts, and some jewlery. Before I leave a
Coruña I will definitely be making another stop at that mall😋🤗 we
went to a lady's house for lunch and it was really good, meat and
rice. anyway, this week was good. Like you guys, nothing too exciting.
We are running low on investigators, I will try to be more diligent in
finding people because we don't really have any. It's hard though
because the people we find on the street and do get there number and
when we do set up an appointment, they just fail us. We have a lot of
menos activo and we went through our phone and called all our menos
activos because we don't know who they are and set up visits with them
for this week. I went to McDonald's this week for lunch one day
because we wanted to, I got a chicken sandwich, basically McDonald's
in Spain is the same as America. For fhe this week we also did a class
ingles and we watched a movie(Ephraims Rescue) in English with Spanish
subtitles. Not a lot of people came, sad, but we had one of our menos
activos though and a lady that comes to class ingles that was not a
member so that was really cool. We got a new district leader(because
transfers just happened) and it is Elder Gustafson and he is such a
good district leader and I learned so much from him at our district
meeting! I'm sad though that this transfer is only 5 weeks and our
time together is short. This week though there was a miracle: all week
there was NO rain it was SUNNY AND WARM☀️ the WHOLE WEEK. It's a
miracle and I definitely count my blessings.  Love you all!❤️
Until Sunday☺️
