Happy New Year!

Hey Happy New Year everyone! It is awesome in Segovia! I just love it here. It is such a cool place. It is truly amazing. The address to the piso is Carretera de Villacastin, 13, Segovia. It is on the outskirts of town at the beginning of the bus route.

I strongly suggest looking at some pictures of the castle or the cathedral or the aqueduct in Segovia online. All are absolutely jaw dropping in person, that I imagine a photo might not do them justice. But anyway, take a look at the awesome stuff that we get to do missionary work around. This is probably the coolest place I have ever been, and I am on my mission here so it is even cooler. I love this work!

The Segovia branch is in a little rama in a ground level building under pisos, called a bajo. Anyway, it is an awesome capilla and is super nice. There were 11 people at church last week, which included me and my companion, a family of 5, the branch president Galera and his wife, and 2 other women. Wow, it is a tiny rama here. On the member lists there is a whopping 35 total members I think, maybe 36 or 37. Well, lots of work to do here. The capilla is on a cool little side cobblestone street, but by street I mean walk-way between streets. There are lots of tiny cobblestone roads here just like I saw in Toledo.

The shower in the piso is awesome; it just blows me away... literally.

We have some good investigators and people to teach. We have a couple of investigators who have committed to baptism, and we just need to set a date and start working towards that. One's name is Valentin from Bulgaria; actually he honked at us as he drove past while we were walking here to email. Anyway, he has a believing heart and is very accepting, and has faith in what we teach him. He agreed to be baptized when we taught him on Sunday, I believe it was. Anyway, we will see how that goes. Also, the family of 5 in our rama is a mother and father from Ecuador who have been here for 5 years, and their kids just got here like 4 weeks ago. The parents were baptized 2 years ago or so, and now their kids are here and come to family home evenings on Friday and to church weekly. We are teaching these kids, Kelly 14,a girl, Kenneth 8, and Clayton 6. They are awesome. We just started teaching them the charlas since I have been here. They are going to start progressing towards baptism also, except Clayton will have to wait a couple years. Every Friday night is family home evening from 8:30 to 9:30 and then we get a ride home, in a car! Wow how cool! Anyway, church is Sunday at 11 until 2.

We have district meetings every Tuesday, except this one was on Monday because of New Year's Day messing up the bus schedule. It is a 2 hour bus ride to Valladolid... anyway we are in the district with Elders Lambert and Lundell from Valladolid, and then a married couple named the Dunfords who serve in Valladolid, and then the Salamanca Elders Bradshaw and Rigtrup. So anyway, this will be quite the adventure being up here, and we will have lots of travel time.

It has been super foggy and cold, but today it heated up a little and we can see the blue skies. Oh yeah, there are views of mountains with snow on them all around us here. How awesome is that? We just bundle up, and the cold doesn't really bother us. Thanks Hadley for the email this week, and Pete for the one last week. I will try to write you today. Anyway, till next week much, love from Spain.
