Hey Dad!!!It was a pretty good week! Boring with more lessons failed than lessons taught actually happened, but I feel like that is sort of life here in Europe. Sometimes it's hard to like remain positive that a lesson will actually happen, but we do our best.
We had a couple of awesome moments like yesterday when we took 3 investigators and two of our recent converts on a tour of the outside of the temple!! Madrid temple has some super cool stuff around and outside of it to show people. Like there is this awesome window that like has a TON of symbolism in it, and I think my favorite part of it is like there are stars rising up until you get to a moon and then above the moon a big sun, to symbolize the three kingdoms of glory. I'll take a picture the next time I go. And I got to see one of my college friends at the stake conference and some of my MTC teachers and it was like a big broadcats for every stake in Spain as well as Portugal and Cape Verde, a lot of awesome speakers, like Elder Maines and M Russell Ballard and also some other guy that I forget his name but he is coming to our mission this month to do like a tour and speak to all the missionaries. It should be fun!
My spansih is getting better!! I didn´t realize it but after a good first lesson on Satrurday Elder Alvarez is like dude you were just like teaching super good! And explaining all sorts of stuff that I usually suck at explaining and improving. Well I hope I´m getting better. I can talk with just about anyone now, some countries still give me trouble.
It´s kind of sad that I might leave this ward in a couple weeks! I love our ward and I feel like everyone is just starting to know me now and we are like invited over to several members houses whenever we have time to pass bye! Well gotta change eventually! Hopefully somewhere warmer!! IT SNOWED TODAY!! Like it wasn´t sticking but it was coming down really hard! So that was fun but I hope it stops by tonight when I have to like teach and preach and stuff.
So the ham. I wouldn´t be surprised if it was gone this week. It weighed 7.5 kilos so somethings like 18 pounds, and we just have a big knife and cut it straight off the bone and usually just eat it plain because the flavor is so good! It isn´t cooked! It was salted and hung up in the fresh mountain air for like a few years and after that they sell for so much! Some of them over 200 euros! So like close to 3 hundred dollars or a bit less actually. But crazy!
Hope you have a good week! Sounds like your training is going good! I´m excited to see pictures or something in a couple months!! Well gotta go! Love You!!Nathan
