Yay 6 days and we can Skype!!! I still have your Skype and everything I just need to figure out where I can do it!! And ya I already sent you a little email with the plan I thought up and we´ll see what you think!! I can´t wait to see all you guys! It has been too long and I´m excited!!! Ok I´m gonna answer all of your questions!!
1. I got one pair back from her and they are amazing!! I am wearing them right now actually!! I gave her my worst pair the other day and said good luck hahha she was laughing and said she´ll see what she can do!! And we are going over to their house this Thursday to eat lunch so we´ll see if she can fix them! I hope so because they are my favorites!!
2. Ya :( They are gone... I´m super bummed because they were the best!!! But a new couple just came the other day.. The Larsens!! We kind of met them accidentally this past Friday and were only able to talk for a few minutes but they seem really nice!! He served in Madrid a long time ago, and they are from Texas!! Oh funny story about that actually... So we were at the house of the stake president eating with his family and having a good time, and the other day I had heard the Larsen´s were coming Friday, but president told me that they were coming today... So we are eating and all of a sudden he gets a call from President Jackson hahah And President Jackson says the Larsens have been waiting in the airport for like 2 hours for someone to pick them up haha And this conversation was going on over he phone and I'm just laughing and President Deniz told President Jackson on me haha but just like joking :) Not sure that made sense, but I love the stake president and his family!! He really is like a great guy! He had this family over from Las Palmas that were hired to clean his house or something not sure, but the daughter was talking about how she wants to go on a mission but the dental, interviews and other stuff were getting in the way... So he just pulls out his phone, sets a dental appointment, a bishop appointemnt and says that they will meet this Friday to submit the papers! haha the girl was like crying excited... Way cool how dedicated some people here are to the progression of the church! ok next question...
3. Yep and he loved it all!! It was funny because I knew the package was coming and one morning we were getting ready and he tells me like elder last night I had a dream that you got a package and it had reeses, so how awesome would it be if there was some in this package! haah and there was!! Needless to say we were happy :) And ya I liked the tie!! I have quite a few ties now, because I got two from elder buhler as well!! Oh and he gave me a suit :) It´s a litle small, but it will be fitting in a few weeks perfectly!! And like it´s a niccceeee suit... So ya I´m spoiled and I love it!!
4. Transfers are in a week! And I´ll know what is going on when I call you guys next Sunday, however I am fairly certain I´m staying, and about the same with Elder Lopez. He only has one transfer left, and it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to move him to Madrid for just six weeks, but weirder things have happened!!!
Sounds like you guys had a pretty busy week!! That´s a bummer with the stolen phone and Kara getting sick, but it happens!! It has been a prety good week here in Telde!! I´m so exhausted and that´s a good thing I´m sure!! We had like the most lessons we have ever had, which is good, and it was one of the hottest weeks on my mission too!! I´m gonna end up getting so dark if I stay here on the island for a bit longer!!! But I´m not complaining about that!! We met some really awesome families... One of my favorites is a mom and her kids from Ecuador! The mom seems really busy and it was hard to set an appointment, but her kids are my favorite and we were just laughing the whole time we were there talking with them!! Ohh and they always make me laugh, but people always want to meet with us in bars!! Like bars are different from the U.S., they are more like restaurants, but it´s still weird to be able to say we taught people in bars haha
So ya our branch president actually belongs to the other ward in Las Palmas, but they called him in so we could have some more priesthood here. He´s a good guy, and he works as well so he can only help us some of his free mornings, and we feel bad asking him to drive all the way to Telde, but if we are desperate we will! haha Hmm not sure if I understand the question you asked me and kendal... Like what else besides food and lessons?? There isn´t a whole lot more that they do for us, but whenever we bring investigators to church, I love when the members will greet them and try to be friends with them... I know it's harder in Poway and maybe they don't bring too many people, so when they do make sure to shower that person with love and friendship... Ya I think that is pretty much all if there is anything else I´ll try and think of it for you!
What happened with Great Grandpa??? Everybody said the other people would say stuff but nobody told me whats going on?? That´s sad that he is in the hospital or passing away whatever is happening :/ But at the same time, I´m really happy we know where we are going after this life! It makes everything a lot more acceptable. Like of course its sad to say bye to somebody but to know that you will see them after gives us that peace that a lot of people don't have :) I really like alma 40 all about this. He talks about how the spirits of those who were good on this earth will be brough to a place of rest and paradise, to await the ressurection and their placement in the celestial kingdom :) I like that :)
Well sorry I dont have too much moe to write to you this week, but I am way excited to Skype in a week! tell me what you think of noon, and we'll try and make adjustments to make it work!! Well right abou now I gotta go and eat ceviche!! haha We have an appointment with a peruvian family that we haven't seen in almost 2 months! the husband left to France and she told us we could meet when he gets back, soooo he got back last week and we get a random call from Nancy inviting us over for lunch and a lesson :) I love when people call us instead of us having to call them :) Really shows they are interested :) Well I gotta go! Love you Momma!! Hope you have a great first week of work and that it is fun!! Enjoy it! Love you!!
Nathan
