Hola!!!
Hey I just sent you a ton of pictures!!! So ya you should tell me what you think of my haircut!! haha I definitly went to this asian place at like 1:30 to get my haiurcut, and they were like uhhh can you come back later?? Soo after lunch I just decided whatever I'm gonna try and cut it myself! It´s not like I have anyone here to look good for as long is it´s wearable let's do it! And my last resort was if it turns out terrible I'd just go back to the asian place and buzz it, which was tempting cuz it's sooo hot here!! But it turned out pretty good so I think I´ll keep it for now!! Aunt Kayce would be proud :) hahah I have to admit though, her haircuts are wayyy better!! I hope I can still get them when I get back!!
Be honest is it good or bad???? :)
Didn't you say they just got sealed a week ago?? I completely forgot, but that´s awesome!! I was reading all about temple stuff today cuz I miss going to the temple, and this months liahona had a lot of temple stuff in it! Did we ever get the liahona when I was younger?? Like I know we got the New Era and the Ensign and stuff, but I like the liahona too! It has a lot more international stuff!! I´m just hoping while I am here in Spain serving they do a feature about the growth of Spain and stuff!! Just a few months back they did an article about the philipiines, so I think we should get our article here too!! haha Still got quite a bit of work to go for that!
It was a good week! We had a baptism! And then he got confirmed yesterday in church! I think it was my first time not having to do either of the two things, so I was pretty relieved of stress! haha It was nice and fun to see it all happen! He´s a good kid, he had been an investiagtor before I got here, and like they had been working with him to quit smoking so he could be baptized, and then we just had a noche de hogar(FHE) last weekend and he was saying all about how he had been praying like just this past Wednesday and he got his answer that this is the true church! It was a powerful testimony, and ya now he is a member! Its awesome!
Wanna hear the other awesome thing that happened! We doubled attendence in the capilla this week! Last week we had like 20ish people there, and this week 45 show up! And we are in August which is the dead time of the year here in the greater Madrid area cuz it's so hot and everyone leaves on vacation! Our branch president is actually on vacation in San Diego! haha wouldn't it be funny if you met my branch president before I did! Anyway's, we had an awesome activity at the river on saturday, and we ate the most delicious food!! Yummm we had like steak and ribs and panceta(which is basiaclly bacon but thicker and even better like wow it´s heavenly!!! haha) And then we went to the river and played soccer and we ended up having 4 investgatores at the activity with us too and everything!!
Hey so while I'm remembering I got your package this week!! The pants fit great and they are perfect!! Thanks mom!! I have been missing having a good pair of charcoal ones, cuz that's my favorite color of pants to wear out working! I get to wear my two favorite ties with it (The blue ones I got from you and Kendal!!) I still remember being like dead asleep when you walked in and threw a tie at me like saying hey isn't this such a nice looking tie, and I was half asleep so I didn't really mention anything, but ya it's my favorite one :) It´s the Nordstrom one with like the squares I'm sure you remember it.
Hmmm what else, I was able to go up to Madrid this past Wednesday for a zone meeting. It was really good and like we learned about responding well to investigatores, and also we had a mini testimony meeting since some of the missionaries in our zone are going home like this week to get home for BYU! Crazy how time flies! Dad was telling me you guys might go out to visit Kendal and see her homecomng talk, that would be so awesome!! I know she would love it!! And would love seeing you guys! She wants to be there in California for my homecoming too, but not too worried about that cuz it´s still like a year away but just fyi :)
hmm not sure what else to share this week! I have taught my comp a LOT of spànish this past week! Ya he has 8 weeks in the mission, so he´s pretty new! haha Think like where I was last November pretty much, except his spanish is further than mine was at the time because portuguese is pretty close, and I really only speak spanish to him haha maybe I´m mean, but he´s leanring so fast!
Ya I hope my ring is in my suitcase! I keep forgetting to call the office to bug them to look for it cuz like honestly it really isn 't super necessary at the moment! I have enough with the stuff from the islands, and I feel like adding another suitcase to the mix would just be a little more hectic in my life, but I´m sure I´ll get it within the next few weeks!
That's fun that you have Kara back in town as well! Tell them that I miss them! Well I miss all you guys! But dang it's already August! It´s super weird how fast time is going nowadays! Like I don't understand at all haha, but I hope you have a great week mom! Thanks for always being an amazing mom and for setting a great example along with dad... seeing some of the situations these youth here in talavera are in, really makes me grateful for the amazing parents I have! Hope everything goes well with work, and that you have time for everything you said! That made me laugh that you ran into one of my old football coaches! He´s a good guy... Well I think that´s about it, I went to send pictures and realized I havent really taken many... I'll get better at it this week! Love you!! Hasta Luego!!!
