September 1, 2014 - Letter to Dad - Week 52 - 1 Year


Hey Dad!!!

Yaaaa I kind of can't believe I´ve already been here a year!! Like I look at some things, like how I can speak spanish and how I've been in three places and it makes sense, but it still seems like just yesterday I was back home with you guys or at BYU skyping you all every Sunday!  I only hear time flies by even faster after you hit your year mark!  Everyone tells me it's like getting to the top of a roller coaster and you just seems to free fall all the way to the 2 year mark!  But who knows!!   
I´ll have to ask Kendal about exact dates and everything if she has them!  I think she does, but I'm not sure how it's all going to work!!  You and mom can just ask her in an email like seperate to send the information over, and I'm sure she´ll send it!  Sometimes when things are asked as part of a long email we forget because there are lots of questions to answer, but I´ll ask her as well to send info over to you!  Or you can also talk to her mom!  I know mom and Kendal's mom have like phone numbers or something I dont remember.   
Anyways, it has been an awesome week!  I´m a bit tired at the moment because we just spent the whole morning playing basketball! It was pretty pathetic cuz like all we had was a soccer ball and it was really bouncy so it made it practically impossible to make a shot unless it was nothing but net, but it was fun! We played with two guys from the branch, one of them is inactive but we are good friends, and the other is active but we are helping him fix some stuff so he might be able to go serve a mission!  It´s nice I'm starting to feel like I'm in better shape!  Not quite where I was before college when I was coming off rugby and football, but still better than when I left!  Are you still biking quite a bit ith uncle wade and bryce or have you gotten busy??   
That´s awesome you and mom got to go to the temple! My area I guess they used to go to the temple back when they had a car in this area, but they took the car out and now like we aren´t alowed to go to the temple!  Let´s just hope I get the chance to serve inside of Madrid one more time!  Actually not sure... I really want to be able to go to the madrid temple again, but at the same time after I finish here in Talavera I really want to go up north!  From what I hear and from what everyone says Galicia is just a beautiful area!  Like even better than the islands but we´ll see!  I´m sure you could look it up one of these days! 
Soo we had a ton of new people come to church this past week!  We taught a family from Romania, and started teaching two brothers from the Domican Republic, and they all came to church and from what they were saying I think the two domicans migt already want to be baptized!!  So that´s a plus!  I hope we can help them along and make it happen!  It was a really stressful Sunday with 9 investigators at church like we were running all over the place making sure the kids were liking the young mens classes and hleping people finding relief society or whatever and then finally hearding them all in for sacrament meating!  It's kind of weird we have sacrament meeting last here in Talavera  I'm not a huge fan of it, but oh well I guess that's just how things are!  Hmm not sure what else!  I hope things are going well and that work starts picking up!  Love you dad!!

Nate
