March 17, 2014 - Letter to Mom

Hola!!!

Como estás??  Things are all good here in Telde!  Started the week off good at the gym, mall, and beach and now just a little time to send you all letters!!!  Hahah that makes it sound like I've had the funnest day but we really just took pictures, worked out and bought a couple things in the centro commercial...  

So ya, it was a good week, we met some new cool people and started working with some less actives that are gonna be coming to church SOON!  Well they better at least!  Oh and we had a ward activity that was fun on Friday!  It was like a talent show haha lots of people singing dancing, playing music, the typical mormon things and even had someone like hypnotizing or something it was interesting and hilarious!  Then they made the missionaries get up and we just kind of made everyone laugh for like 10 minutes talking about how we have no talents and those we have we can't show because everything is against the rules for missionaries so we said that there was only one thing left we could do,,, so we shared the parable of the talents haha everyone was dying like laughing but at the same time it was a good spiritual thougt so idk how those two went well together but they did!!  

Hmmm nope I had no clue it was Saint Patricks day... que guay!!  THe only difference I have seen in the world for this holiday is that my mission president made the mission letter with green font... WOAH haha but ya its ok because we have like a holiday in Spain like every other day so ha!!  

So ya ready for the sad part of the letter... I didnt get a sweet tart in your package!!  The only answers are you accidentally didn't pack it or they took it out at customs! haha What a bummer!  I had quite a good time trying to explain sweet tarts just now to my companion in spanish!  I have no clue how to describe them in spanish except, little things that are kind of sour... hahah some days I feel good at spanish and others like a 2 year old... oh well just keep trying right?? haha hmmm kendal sent me a letter with like a ton of little paper hearts and some pictures and ya!!  I didn´t really send much other than a letter but its ok because I sent her stuff for her birthday!  It´s april 7th btw if you were wondering!!  I still kind of freak out every time i remember that we are turning 20 this year!  That's like, not a teen number... super raro.  

But ya what else can I share from this week.  Some days we hardly walk (I love those days, not because we are lazy but because that means we taught) And other days we are like exhusted and walk miles and miles miles!  I could measure I dont think!  Oh man I'm all messed up on distance too!!  Miles and kilometres!  I cant quite convert them but I just know they are sort of similar and miles are more.  blah...  

Hhmm I started reading the new testemant from the beginning!  Like 2 weeks ago but its going bye pretty fast!  I am already in 2nd Corinthians.  I like how I can focus better as a missionary.  I really don't think it's some special blessing it's just that without phones, tv, music, and friends, you tend to find your free time pretty boring unless you read about Jesus!!  So ya!  kind of gave up the Old Testament,  made it half way through the Old Testament and decided it was more fun staring at the wall than reading about the seremonial way to cleanse a leper or something like that.  Maybe I´ll read it one day!  I´m kind of running out of things I haven't read that are allowed.  Ya I´ll be back in the temple if I ever make it back to Madrid!  So maybe not for a while!  But I hope so!  I miss that place!  

Well I think that is pretty much it!  I will have to check on the pants size and get back to you, but I will maybe  need a size down, we´ll see!  Hope you have a great week!!  Enjoy youth conference and time with the fam!  I´m excited to skype you guys soon!  I love you!!

Nate
