Hi from Mostoles!

Hey everybody! Things are great in Mostoles!

It was just nuts not to go home to Segovia last week, but rather stay in the city. We go on exchanges with the elders in Badajoz the 4th week of this transfer, and the 3rd week is my old area, Fuenlabrada. It should be fun. I will get to visit Caceres, Badajoz and Merida. Also, I get to go to Fuenlabrada and Talavera for piso checks in the zone, and for district meetings, and exchanges. We just lump the first 3 into one 24 hour period. Its 5 hours down on a Monday to Caceres to check the piso, and then a half hour to Badajoz, I guess, and then exchanges on Tuesday. We will spend preparation day in Merida, and then home on the bus again. So it should be an action packed long trip.
I’m living with 4 other elders, not just 3. There is a trio along with the two of us. The trio is Elders Brown (different one), Baxter, and Glad. So it is crazy to be living a different way completely than I was in Segovia.
Exchanges with Elder Manning in Barrio 2 were awesome. We were in the car, which was way sweet. Barrio 2 includes the Plaza de toros in Madrid, which is the main bull ring. It was way cool to see. We taught 3 lessons that night, and had a great time. Last Friday we had zone leader meeting at the mission home. That is the first week of every transfer. We got to eat delicious food, cinnamon rolls for breakfast and Hawaiian haystacks for lunch. It was great, and I just love Hermana Farnsworth’s cooking. Also, the interviews went great. We talked on goals, and the assistants talked on stepping stones. It went great and there was yummy Texas sheet cake from Hermana Farnsworth as usual.
The capilla is awesome. The address of our piso is Calle Magallanes 5. It is near some parks and Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, and renfe stop El Soto. Our building looks like a bunch of crosses all hooked together from an aerial view. We are going to an eating appointment today with all of the 5 elders in our piso here in Mostoles. Then we have one on Saturday that is with a British man and his Spanish wife. They are awesome members, and he is from Liverpool. We are going to have tacos.
That is a bummer that the ski resorts are closing this week. I hope Evan got lots of chances to go. I’m glad Evan is finally finishing his Eagle project. Good luck Ev. You should tell Isaac’s brother to go over to the Frisbee Park and try it out. Zach is a pro at Frisbee golf.
There was a baptism here in Mostoles of a Brazilian man named Clever last week. He is just amazing and so humble. Also, the zone leaders had a baptism the Saturday before I got here. So on Sunday, there were 2 confirmations at church that went sweet. The members just did the whole thing, and they really focused on the importance of using different members and letting them exercise there priesthood. At the baptism of Clever, there were 40 members there supporting him, and it was just amazing to see. At the capilla on Sunday, there were 117 in attendance. I am just blown away still at the blessing it is to be here.
An amazing Colombian investigator came to church. He is named Arley. His 3 yr old, Alexander was just loved to death by the members. It was awesome to see. He stayed all 3 hours. Also, I translated for a Nigerian recent convert, during investigator and recent convert class. There are about 10 or 11 who attend the class weekly. It is just amazing here, and I love it.
Thanks so much for everything, and much love from me to you.

Love,
Elder Miller
