Hey Dad!!!
Sooo ya Talavera de la Reina is the full name of the area where I live, and that weather is definitely looking a lot more like what I'm living in! It´s really dry though so it feels a bit hotter, but I guess I'm used to it by now! Ya I'm settled here, I know pretty much everyone, except the branch president who coincidentally is on vacation in san diego right now!! It will be fun to talk to him about that when he gets back!! I guess he is some super rich dentist guy from another part of Madrid, and he has a super nice car, but other than that don't know much about him! We had some awesome activities this week, so I have gotten to know all the people in the branch really well!!
This past weekend we went out to the tahoe river, not sure how its spelled but ya... We had a big branch barbecue and spent the morning out there. We originally had planned to just go out, eat with them play some soccer then head back to talavera to work, but we ended up getting stuck out there with the branch cuz there was no way back home, so it was a lot of fun but a bit of a waste of time, but oh well its done. I decided that in my time here I really want to help the youth program here in talavera. There are a TON of youth who are like inactive, and a lot of the ones who come are like half way in the church and one foot out, so I want to see what I can do to help them all becomes strong members. It´s really sad cuz there are two or three big families where the mom is a strong member and she brings her kids, but the dad is either a non active antimormon or a non member! Definitely makes me grateful for how awesome you and mom are and having you as my young mens leader throughout all my young mens time! Thanks for everything dad! I love you.
Everything else is going really good out here! Sounds like things are pretty hectic back home in a good way with Kara being home and everything!! I bet when her friend leaves it will get a little more back to normal, but coming from experience, it's hard to get back onto a normal sleeping schedule! It´s almost like jet lag without the flight... But ya, hope work is going well! I gurantee Kendal will be so excited to see you guys if you were to be there for her homecoming talk!! And she would love to see Kara there too as well I bet! Kendal loves you guys and loves hearing from you every week! So ya, if you can visit her that would be awesome!! If i count it out right, and I'm fairly certain I'm right, she will be getting home like the very last week of November, and then her talk would be right around there in the first week of December, but you´d have to ask her for better details, she should have flight plans by now I would imagine.
So we had a baptism this past week! I´ll write the whole story about him on moms letter so you can share, but his name is David and he´s nineteen! He's really nice and he definitely was able to get his testimony and he was just confirmed yesterday in church! He says he wants to serve a mission, so I think that would be way cool!!
Hmm not sure what else! How is work going?? It's kind of crazy to me how time is flying by when I realized that football season is starting up again!! I hit half way in two weeks!! Craziness,,, Well I hope you have a great week! Love you dad!!Nate
