February 18, 2014 - Letter to Mom


Hey!!
President was nice and gave us a little bit of time to email with you guys sinceI didn't get any really yesterday!  So I´m here on my island!  It´s so awesome!  Like I haven´t worn a short sleeve shirt since the MTC!!  And now I can every day!  It´s such a small place!  Before mediodi we went out and contacted and I have already walked basically the whole city!!  But it should be fun!  

We just have a little branch here with something like 30 members that attend usually!  So I go from big Madrid ward to a little island branch!  The fun part is that the stake president is living in this little town with us and I guess he is a super nice guy!!  

My companion is Elder Lopez!!  He´s from Mexico!  Who would have thought I would have two native companions in a row!  But he seems like a great guy and will help me learn a lot!  We have the sweetest piso too!!  Like it is the same size as the one in Barrio2 where I was, but it is close to new and there are only two of us living there!  

I´m happy with all of it here :)  Me and my charmed life haha I flew over here with one of my really good friends from the MTC.  He is serving on the same island but in a different part.  We had two flights actually yesterday!  One went from Madrid to Tenerife, which is the island next door: and then just a little 30 minute hop over from there to Gran Canaria!  It seems like a fun place!  I wrote you guys letters on the planes so whenever I find the post office next p day I´ll send them out!  Looks like I might not get your packages for a little bit, but we´ll see!  

I dont really have much time, and I have no clue what to say!!  It was hard saying bye to all my people in Barrio2.  They threw like a little last minute party/FHE but a million people came!  We all went to the Bayas´ house and made empanadas just like we do with our family but with different like cheese filling :)  They were delicious and then we had messages and said bye and now I´m here!  

I hope you guys have a great week!  You should ask Sister Harrison to like list off all the areas she was in here in the islas!  I wanna know!  Well I gotta go!  Till next week!  I love you!!!
Nate
