How´s it going??? Things have been pretty good here this week, and I´m super exusted for some reason I´m not sure why!!! But ya the package was awesome!! I think just about all the candy you gave me is now gone :) And no I just had to go to the post office to pick it up! They don't leave things on the doorstep here in Spain, I''m guessing so they don't get stolen. So if you aren´t home they leave a slip in your mailbox that you take to the post office and then you ge our package!!! So ya! It´s ok I still have sweettarts in the barrel! And I was in heaven with the chocloate eggs I don't remember what they are called but I'm sure you know which ones im talking about. The ones we put in the bowl and they are gone in like 2 minutes!! Yummm well oreos... They are here, but wayyy expensive! Well I´m not sure how much but out of my price range! They sell them at gas stations and stuff, but they just aren´t worth a couple euros! But the pack you sent were geat! And then we went over to Aida y Javier´s house last night and they made us an oeo cake!! So it has been lots and los of oreos :) anyways hahah I´ll answer your questions!!!
1. It´s ok don't worry about my pants for a while!! They were terrible like my jeans before, but Hermana Marta is awesome and is fixing them all up!!! So ya, hopefull my size keeps dropping and I can just get all smaller ones in a few months or something!! I´m really used to it by now, but sometimes you have those days where you just really miss wearing normal clothes! Like jeans and a t shirt and a nice pair of shoes bwahhh And NO TIE!!!! Oh well like I said it´s pretty normal right now!!:)
2. PING PONG!!! We try to share a message every time we have it!! One time it didn't work cuz everyone was being crazy, but usally we do! And it all works out reall well. We have members come and investigators and people bring there friends so even if we can´t share our little spiritual thought, everyone is becoming friends and that´s the most important and the reason we have it :) And of course we have a ton of fun too!! I have gotten really good at Ping Pong!!! I haven´t lost in like 3 weeks! Well except for when I "lose" to the little kids that play with us.
3. Ya big mountain... haha Part 2 of our wisdom... why climb a mountain when you can call your branch president and get a nice comfy car ride up the mountain?! :) Sometimes we make our own problems when there are nice simple solutions like cars, and taxis and buses :) Not exactly a spiritual thought but a good point nonetheless!!!
4. Ya Spain ancestors!! I don't know why we have been asked that a few times this past week! But I did know I had french family I just wasn't sure where it came from!! Everyone here,and I mean just about EVERYONE here has been to France... It´s like going to mexico for us, well maybe not nowadays but you know that easy. It´s kind of weird living in Europe and now everyone as been everywhere inside it because its so cheap to take a quick flight to Germany or Switzerland, or Italy. Well not dirt cheap but its like us visiting the states! But it´s fun! I hope I can travel some of Europe one day! We have a french Book of Mormon in piso so sometimes I read that. It´s not too hard, but Portuguese and Italian are way easier to understand! Yay! A little spanish and a little english and now I can understand a little bit of like 5 other languages!! How cool is that!! Oh speaking of languages and having to speak them, my talk went really well!!! They asked me for 10 minutes and originally that stressed me out to have to speak ten minutes straight in spanish with no companion help, but then I ended up speaking for like 15 or so and it was all really good! Well I guess I dont know because I wasn't listening I was speaking, but I felt good about it and at least they understood me right? Then we ended up teaching second hour and well by the end of church I was pretty much exhausted!!
5 MOJJJJOOOOO!!! Basically the most magic thing ever!! I have the recipe in my recipe book at home, so I´ll make sure to send it to you next week, but I hope you guys like it! Oh on the food topic, I was thinking about buying a Paella pan and learning how to make it, but I can´t really bring a pan in my suitcase cuz thats a lot of space, so if I do that, be prepared to get a pan when I leave the islands!! Not sure how much it will cost me but I wanna be able to make spanish food when I get back!! It´s like something not very typical you know?? So we´ll see if I end up learning!! Javier(investigator) said he is going to teach us how next week! So ya!
6. Ya YA Ya Mothers Day Skype!!!!! Hm not sure what time would be best! My companion said like 7 our time would be good, but that would mean you guys would be starting church at that time!! Or maybe we could do 3 our time which would be like 7 am for you guys?? I just don´t know if we will be able to find a place to skype at at 3pm, but we can look around this week and you tell me what will be best for you guys ok?! :) Yay I can´t wait!!! I miss everyone!!!
I think that is more or less everything we did this week! We taught some good lessons and learned how to make pizza with an argentine guy!! He is so great and his kids love us and they come to english class, the only problem is he has to work during church, so we need to find a way to make it all work out!! We shall see! Oh and idk if I told you about the two girls in Barrio 2 that are 17 and their parents wouldnt let them, get baptized?? Well one of them got baptized this past weekend!!! I don´t know any of the details except that Elder Alvarez told me after general conference , her parents changed their minds! YAY!!!!
Hope you get to enjoy the free time you have! Sounds like everyone is super busy, but it's ok! Do you guys play games much together or no?? I miss playing like rook or settlers or random fun games like that! Oh and good luck with prom and everthing!! Hope the dress works out! That seems like forever ago that I was doing all that... I feel old :/ How weird!! This month hits 8 months in my mission!! That´s like quite a few! Well we´ll see how it goes, I just looked at my watch and realized it's my half birthday! Happy 19 and a half to me!! Love you mom!!! Hope you have a great week and can have some good family time even though you are all busy!! Love you!!!
Nathan
