hey everybody,
hows things on the homefront? i am having a grand time here in spain. we have been very busy lately doing our last minute studying and learning of the language. i went with elder pardoe this week to the park. he is one of the new elders from logan. we did pretty well this week and had some awesome experiences. one was talking to the first man and his teenage kids on the first
bench in the park. they were just hanging out there, and we went to talk to them. they were very open to what we had to say. we talked about the temple, and about or church services. they were from bolivia. there spanish was pretty easy to understand compared to the spanish natives. we taught them about the gospel of jesucristo, and the book of mormon. we told them about 3 nephi 11 and commited them to read it. they were very happy to hear our message. we also got a referral. i was just thinking today, that i could be put in their area in a week and teach them the lessons.... crazy! there were some area authorities and members of the seventy at our sacrament meeting on sunday. it was pretty neat to talk to them and to eat lunch with them afterwards. their testimonies were amazing. they were here to meet about making pass along cards for spain. they would have to make a calling center probably if they made pass along cards.
every day i have been understanding more and more, and getting ready to go out into spain. on sunday night i got a haircut from phil collins.... well there is an elder here named phil collins, and as hard as we try to call him elder collins, it usually comes out phil or phil collins. he gives an amazing hair cut. each sunday he cuts like 8 missionaries' hair. this sunday he cut pres. taylor, and pres. wakefields hair as well. our teacher who has been visiting salamanca for about 3 weeks came home. she brought us each a really good pastry from there. today was an excursion to the royal palace. it is huge, and has 300,000 sq. ft. and over 2,000 rooms. it was pretty amazing, even though the tour only takes you in the 20 rooms open to the public. i would suggest you take a look at some pictures online. there was some amazing craftmanship that went into the building of it. there were beautiful tapestries and all kinds of art. also, we saw the royal armery which was totally awesome to see all of the armor, swords, and everything they used to do battle. the metro to and from was jam packed though, and we were pretty much shoulder to shoulder at some points. i am so excited to be in Spain, and to continue my learning in the real world. until next week, the church is true and god loves you. i will be leaving the mtc next tuesday, sept. 11. i will be in a new area and get a new companion. from now on, i will email on wednesdays. if you mail any packages or letters in the future, you can just mail them to the mission office and they will get them to me. i would still love to get emails at elder.miller(at)myldsmail.net. i will answer you by letter as soon as i can.
