Hey how's it going this week for you guys?
I am doing great. Last p- day, I had to drop off a suit at the dry cleaners, and the lady had to draw circles all over the suit for like 15 minutes. I guess missionary work isn't very nice to suits. Thursday morning we had the floor people come to give a bid on the closets, but we are going to go with a different company for around 2000. The floors are being re-varnished as I type, and they only have one more coat after this one. We have been living in Mostoles since Monday, and we will be there until Friday or Saturday. It is hard to commute 30 minutes to our area, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
We also had our normal 3 and a half hour planning session last Thursday, and we have it again tomorrow. This is where we plan for 10 days and plan for all of the work we are going to do. We get a ton of stuff done, but it takes quite a long time and amount of attention. We went to Mirella's after medio dia on Thursday, and knew not to eat before hand. We taught her, and she fed us rice with potatoes and meat. We had to book it to English lessons, and then after that we had to run even faster to catch a bus and get to our branch president's house to meet with him. He fed us again as he does every week. We had at his house rice, veggies, chicken, fried eggs, and ketchup, and don't forget the Tang. We went home that night very full if you can imagine.
Friday, we taught Miriam about faith, using Matthew 17:14 - 21, which is amazing about the mustard seed and faith. We also made a new baptismal calendar with her to see if we can't just get her to quit smoking this time.
It is getting very windy, and the leaves are really coming down. We are just getting to fall, and winter is just around the corner.
We taught a member named Maria Paz at her house. She is such a funny lady. She reads with her glasses and then a huge magnifying glass and her face right up against the page. She is an awesome member!
We were on Calle Constitutin, and we found this crazy church with no name, but it had a bunch of triangles with different things in them like faith and the Holy Ghost and stuff. We found an inactive member in the church, and talked to him. He was so scared I think, when he first saw us, but we really reminded him what is important in life. He was at church on Sunday, and started up his painting lessons again that he teaches the members. His name is Celedonio, and he painted all of the paintings in our capilla. (Mom, those are the ones I took pictures of and sent them home.)
Saturday appointments went sour, but we got some other ones. We found an Ecuadorian, and her husband and mother in law, who let us in to share a charla. We taught them the first lesson, and they loved it. We will see what happens with them. Also, we had a potential investigator who gave us the address of their weird church, and we will go by to see if we can't find some more miracles like Celedonio at another church.
Sunday at the capilla, we gave a member a blessing of health. Also one of the members gave us another left over surprise in an ice cream bucket. This isn't the first time, and I'm sure it's not the last.
We taught Avelino during Sunday school and it went awesome. We taught Florin the Romanian, on Sunday who rode his bike in from Humanes, because he wanted a change of scenery for our lessons. I guess he got tired of the park by his house.
Last week we completed the mission goal of 15 lessons a week and 70 contacts. We get the contacts every week, but only average around 10 lessons. It was an awesome sense of accomplishment, but we are in a new week already so just more of the hard work.
We had to do a ton of running on Sunday to get the 5 lessons that we had, but we did it. We taught Fabiola, who we gave the blessing on Monday night using Alma 13:24-26 which is truly fantastic.
We were rushing back to Mostoles for the night, and I did a double leg trip from a drip line in one of the gardens. I landed right in a bunch of dust. Another one bites the dust. I ate it really hard, but it was hilarious. We had companion exchanges yesterday and I went with my second cousin and zone leader Elder Bradshaw. Today we went to Xanadu Mall and it was awesome. It is huge and has tons of stores. It has go carts that we couldn't ride, and an indoor ski slope that we obviously couldn't go down. But it was way cool to see.
Much love from Spain. And Happy Thanksgiving!
