Hola familia!

The things here in Elche are going good. We´ve hit kind of a dry spell right now. With the new sisters coming, they took all our investigators, and we´ve basically had to start from scratch. And it´s August and everyone has gone to the beach to live. But know that there are still people here in Elche that are waiting for the message! The Lord is still preparing people! We just gotta find em.
 

So on Saturday I had kind of a cool experience. We were given a reference to contact, but he lives out in the country side on the borders of the city. So we took a bus as far as we could and started walking. When we hit the country side, the houses are super spread out and so although the number is small, it the next house could be a couple of miles down the road. So we were walking and knocking every house we came too, searching for this reference. And we got a little lost and asked a man for directions when suddenly two massive dogs came running out of his house. He quickly grabbed them and tried holding them back and started yelling at us to leave because he wasn´t strong enough to hold them back much longer haha. So we quickly left his house and kept searching. Finally after about two hours of walking we found the house and guess what? He wasn´t home. But it´s okay! At least we know where he lives!
 

This week was pretty mellow other than getting lost in the country side. The district is pretty solid and they are all good workers. And the sisters don´t cause any problems which is really nice haha. We´re the biggest district in the zone and I think in the mission too which is kind of cool.

 

One last thing that happened yesterday that was pretty funny. It was fast and testimony meeting and a member got up, recently reactivated about a year ago, and he testified of the reality of our living prophet, Gordon B Hinckley! Immediately right after he finished the bishop grabbed him and promptly explained to him the situation and he smacked his forehead in embarrassment in front of the whole ward. It was pretty funny!

Welp family, I love you all and will talk to you next week!

Add capYesterday, without planning it, Elder Moran and I were complete opposites. White guy with black suit and grey tie. Brown guy with grey suit and black tie. I guess we must have followed the spirit when we got dressed! tion
