Hola!
Oh my goodness this is going to have to be a week of bullet pointing topics
deal?
1) COOKING: don't worry...you read the word
right. Yes, I am learning how to cook. I won't tell you how I cooked an over
easy egg to perfection the other day because for some reason whenever I tell
somebody how excited I am about that they look at me like I'm an idiot (but
that doesn't take away from the fact that the yolk was perfectly intact) but I
will tell you about how I have gotten pro at cooking chicken breast. As we say
in Spain
2) FIRE: On Wednesday we were eating and I heard something
pop outside and when I looked out there were a couple of people stopped and
taking pictures of an apartment building across the street. Then I saw some
smoke, we booked it out and an apartment was on fire and it was insane. I have
never seen that much red. It was heartbreaking. About ten minutes later the
fire department got there and it was just chaos. We could see a man on the
other side of the street, who was probably late 20s with a lot of tattoos, just
crying and we could tell it was his. After the fire got under control we ran
upstairs and got some of the brownies we had just made for a member whose dad
just died and gave them to Victor (the man's name we found out) with a card. He
was super sweet and I was so happy that we could help him smile in an
incredibly hard moment for him.
3) MY CALL: Can you believe it was a year ago
last Thursday that I opened my mission call? It's so crazy to think how much
has changed since then. Since last October in general my life has changed for
the better and I can't imagine my life now without this experience or being
anywhere else in the world right now other than in the Spain Barcelona Mission.
What a blessing!
4) WALKING: Little by little we are finding
investigators and getting more busy but we still have to do a lot of contacting
and passing by old investigators. Last Friday we walked up and down steep hills
for 4 hours! It was pretty hard and we were super sore afterwards but it was a
necessary evil to find out if our antiguos from prior years (all the way back
to 2006) still lived in the houses on their teaching records. Plus it was kind
of cool because the streets were very stereotypical spain
5) ENGLISH CLASS: For english class we learned
the alphabet and numbers this week and then we played Bingo. To make it a
little more fun every time someone got a bingo they had to sing "there was
a farmer who had a dog..." and it was so much fun! The Spanish speakers
loved it. Oh I love teaching basic english class it's a party.
6) SATURDAY: After english class there was
a baptism and Hermana Durham and I sang All Creatures of Our God and King (me
singing alto which I was definitely okay with because it's so fun!) then we
went to a bachelorette party that the relief society threw in the church
because they invited all of our female investigators (the members LOVE
investigators it's so sweet). It was Snow White themed and they made the
bride-to-be look exactly like her. Wig, make-up, dress, and everything. It was
so fun! The investigators and I got to meet and talk with a lot of ward members
and it was so fun.
7) CONCILIO: Today we had concilio and as
always it was incredible experience. It's super weird though because it was the
last time I am going to see some of my friends from the mission because they
are going home before the next concilio. It's just going to get weirder and
weirder as the people who go home each transfer become people I am closer and
closer to.
So basically Barcelona
Thank you for all of your love and support and
letters, it means the world to me!
Have a great week!
