Hey everyone how is it going? I hope you are all going to have a great Halloween tonight! They do celebrate it over here in Spain too. I know that they trick or treat in a pueblo that we visited, but I don't know about the apartment buildings. That would be a quick way to score tons of candy though... Anyway I hope all is well.
This week was great. Last Wednesday we had an appointment in a pueblo that didn't happen, because they had to re schedule for Monday. It was awesome. They are members who attend our rama, but live in a pueblo about 30 minutes bus ride outside of Mostoles. The whole town is chalets and houses, and is way, way nice. My companion and I felt like we were in the states. We didn't have their address or a map of there pueblo, Arrollomolinos (but I am not sure if I spelled it right). So once we got there we called them, and they came to pick us up in there brand new Audi A6. It was awesome. They are Spaniards, and have an 11 year old son, a daughter around 5, and a 1 year old baby girl. They are Quini and Javier, and are awesome members. It was our first time, other than at Miriam's, eating in a Spaniard's home. We taught them using Nephi's story, and used 1 Nephi 3:7 & 15. We also tried to use the primary song about Nephi going and doing the things the Lord commands, but we couldn't get the cd to play. Oh well. It was awesome none the less.
We taught a nice Muslim man named Khalid in the streets during a huge rain storm last Wednesday, and then we went to Loranca to teach Avelino. Miriam's grandpa went home yesterday, so we can't teach in her house anymore unless we get a member to come with us. We teach in the locutorio, but only when a man is there, but it isn't as good of a spirit as in the comfort of her piso. No one came to English class last Thursday, except for the 20 or so kids who come to play basketball. Afterwards, we went to the member English student's house, Mimi's kids, and helped them with English homework and then taught them a lesson.
Friday was a blank schedule, and we did lots of contacting. We went to the largest park in our area I think, which is Parque Oliva. It is basically an olive vineyard that is about the size of 4 football fields. It was a cool park, but not many people to contact.
It is starting to get cold, and the leaves are turning to yellow and falling to the ground. Autumn better hurry up and finish because winter is just around the corner. We found out our holiday meal at the mission home is on the 23rd, the day after Thanksgiving. They have each of the 8 zones over one by one in the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas for a holiday meal, and it should be way delicious and fun.
Saturday, 4 of our 5 teaching appointments canceled for one reason or another, so we did lots of contacting. Our appointment that went through was with Mimi's family, and we ate lunch and taught them about 'For the Strength of Youth' pamphlets. We committed them all to read it, well the 4 kids.
The rama was back to normal on Sunday with 29 at sacrament meeting. We had lunch at the Muro's on Sunday afternoon. They are a husband and wife who recently moved here from Puerto llano. They fed us delicious food, but the absolute best part was the stuffed red bell peppers. They had hamburger, cheese, and sauce that was delicious.
We are going back on the 6th of Nov. for some more delicious food, and to teach a lesson.
Sunday, Avelino couldn't come to church so we went to Loranca to teach him. It went really well. Tuesday we went to Talavera for district meeting, just like last week. It is an awesome train ride, and fun to meet with Elder Peaden and Elder Cochrane. Elder Baxter and Elder Bringham, who live with us, are moving out of the piso as I type this email. We are going to go help them load up the mission van, and then the office elders are going to drive their stuff to their new piso in their area. It will be easier to finish the piso renovations with only 2 in our piso, but it is really big for just 2 people. Thank you all for everything, and I hope you all know the church is true, and God loves you.
Much love from Spain,
