It's May!

So hey you guys how are things going?

First off, all of you mothers and potential mothers and expecting mothers and future mothers, Happy Mothers’ Day. Just a quote for you moms by Abraham Lincoln, "All that I am or hope to be I owe to my angel mother." Mothers’ Day was last Sunday here in España, and they had the children of the primary sing a song and also handed out flowers and chocolates to the women at church. So it went pretty much the same as at home.
Also, the 2nd of May is Independence Day for us. To add to that, the 2nd of May is the 200th Anniversary or Bicentennial I guess, of Mostoles as a city. There was a constant party from the 1st until Sunday, and the carnival like a mini Lagoon went even longer. There was dancing at the big park, Liana, starting at 10 at night until 12. That was like the not teenager discoteca dancing. Then from 12 until 5 am was the crazy joven dancing. When we would run at 6:30, the party had just ended for most, but not for all. Also, the king came to Mostoles on the 2nd, and made 3 appearances at different locations. We didn’t see him or plan on it, but it’s kind of cool he came.
I made chocolate chip cookies for an appointment that turned out to be a no show. The cookies were a consolation prize, but the appointment would have been better. We taught Arley again with the member Julio, and also Julio was permitted by his work schedule to make it to church this week. But sadly, Arley wasn’t able to make it. We had a great Gospel of Jesus Christ lesson, but the baptismal challenge didn’t take flight as we wanted, hopefully in a little while.
We actually got to teach Christina last night with Wilson. It was just great. Wilson did a great job of testifying and helping Christina understand some things we couldn’t. He was a great companion for us.
We had an awesome experience in which we were contacted by a member who just moved here from Chile a month ago, named Blanka. She is about a 30 year old Master’s student, and is way awesome. She has been looking for the capilla here in Mostoles. She lives in the other Elders’ area, but will be a great member there. We had delicious paella at a member’s named Mary Lynn and it was just delicious.

Love you guys.
