Later in the day:  

Hi!!!

Just so you know I'm here in Talavera!!  I haven't seen a whole ton of it, but my piso seems pretty big and nice, and like ya its way far away from Madrid! haha After taking the plane ride over I had to find a way down to south Madrid and then take a bus ride for an hour and a half to get to my area!  Idk if i mentioned it to yo guys or not, but I'm not the leader anymore, but i am training a new missionary, which is just as crazy!!  haha  The best part is that he doesn't really speak a whole ton of English or Spanish! haha His name is Elder Avila, and he is from an island off the coast of Portugal!  He speaks Portuguese, which is really similar to Spanish, so i understand a lot of what he says, plus back in the islands i started studying it a little bit cuz i want to learn a third language as well!  ahah me and my charmed life i want to learn Portuguese and the lord sends me a companion from Portugal :) yay!!!  I'm way excited and I'm sure i´ll have a ton to tell you for next week!!  hmmm Ya i think that is just about everything!  Tell everyone i love them and that i hope they have great weeks!!  Oh and tell kara i miss hearing from her, and i loved getting the report from Justin on efy! OK gotta go!  I love you!!
