Hi from Segovia!


Hey everyone,

This week email was a mess with this program. Sorry for the shortness, but we had a great week. I hope to be able to get you all that happened next week. One awesome, very journal-worthy experience was on King’s Day, the 6th of Jan. This is bigger than Christmas for the kids. It helps to focus on Christ during Christmas, and then they get presents on King’s Day, not a bad concept.... anyway we made some brownies for the members and investigators. We thought we had all the ingredients. There was a lacking of butter, though. We barely had 1/4 cup butter. We needed 1 cup and 4 tbsp. of butter for my mom’s recipe. The good news is we got the butter, and the brownies were delicious. Everyone loved them. The funny news is that we had to knock on 4 neighbor’s doors, and borrow butter from 3 of them to get the butter we needed. They would let us have some butter and we would add to the collection until we finally had enough. It was hilarious, and humiliating at first, but it went just fine and we were able to serve our fellowman here in Segovia. I love this work!

Much love from Spain,
Elder Miller
