August 25, 2014 - Letter to Dad - Week 51


Hey dad!!!

It has been a pretty good week here in Talavera!!  I think mom forgot to send her email or it didn't send right, but ya tell her hi for me!  That´s pretty cool that Brother Preece served here!  Honestly this piso I´m in is so old I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed in the same one!  Calle Pio XII you should ask him! hah   
Hmmm the weather is pretty constant, just heat heat heat, although it has been getting a little cold in the morning like right when we get up. but after it's just back to more heat.  We don´t have any air conditioning, and we only have one fan, but it´s ok I'm used to it by now!  Plus I hear it gets FREEZING here in talavera right around Christmas time, which I´ll probably be here for so I'm not looking forward to that all that much!   
Not too much new actually going on in talavera, although we did have an awesome new family move into the branch!  The girl is from the islands, and the guy was a missionary here in madrid two years ago, and they have a baby, one month old, so it´s fun!!  They are excited to help us with the work here, and we really need the guy for priesthood help!  Now we are up to two men that live inside Talavera that are members! ha  Better than none I guess!  Ya I´m training, which is fun and difficult I suppose!  Now that I can speak spanish freely, I really enjoy just talking all about the church and all the lessons and stuff, but I have been working on letting my companion like share parts and get used to teaching as he learns spanish.  He knows way more than I did when I only had a few weeks.  It helps that portuguese is so similar, but anyways,..   
How is work going??  I hope it's good!  We were having correlation with our mission leader and he was showing me the wood floors he had just put in to his house.  They were kinda nice I guess, I think they might have been laminate though... they use a lot of laminate here, and like lame wood floors where the individual pieces come up wayy too easily.  I suppose I did learn a thing or two from going to work with you! ha Well sorry I'm a bit rushed today, but I hope you have a great week!  Love you dad!!

Nate
