Stake Conference
Email 12/3/18 Hello everybody, This was a week of many meetings and much traveling. It went by fast, but at the same time, it feels like forever ago that I was writing my group email last Monday. Speaking of last Monday, it was a decent preparation day. It was still raining all day (it rained…

It rained
Email 5/3/18 Hello everybody, This week was unusual because it rained pretty much all day, every day this week, with rain continuing today and through the majority of the coming week. In a place that’s known as “The Southern California of Europe” for how nice the weather usually is, a rainy week like this one always…

Email 26/2/18 Hello everybody, Seven days later, here I am again. We figured out last night that I have been a missionary for 91 weeks—about the same number of days that Elder Clark has been in the mission field. We found ourselves in San Fernando on Monday for the usual “preparation day with many missionaries…

Sanlucar
Email 19/2/18 Hello everybody, Well, as the title of my email suggests, we got transfer calls yesterday, and I’ll be staying in Sanlúcar for the rest of my mission! Which means when all is said and done in 12 weeks, I’ll have been here for 6 transfers, or about 9 months. Elder Clark and I are going…

Here a little, and there a little
Email 12/2/18 Hello everybody, Here we go again. Last Monday, it was really cold and we didn’t feel like doing much for preparation day, so we just played a lot of chess. It was really fun. We had our customary Noche de hogar that evening and taught Maru and Ángel and Yessenia about the Word of…

Email 5/2/18 Hello everybody, It was another normal Sanlúcar week. Here’s the important things that happened. On Tuesday, we had a great Noche de hogar with Ángel, Yessenia, and Maru. We had invited them a while ago to be baptized on the 3rd of February, and obviously they weren’t quite ready yet. We reviewed the importance…

The Life
Email 29/1/18 Hello everybody, Last Monday, we went to the mall to take advantage of rebajas. To refresh your memories on what rebajas are, they are basically these big sales that go on in every store for about a month twice in the year, once in the summer and once in the winter. Elder Clark and…

Peace in Christ
Email 22/1/18 Hello everybody, Here’s another one of your favorite weekly rundowns of yet another week of being a missionary. Last Monday was a normal Sanlúcar preparation day, which involved playing Padle ball, buying expensive and very disappointing Mexican food (I have never once have had satisfactory Mexican food in Spain), and playing chess. That evening,…

Service
Hello everybody, Last Monday was the preparation day in San Fernando with many missionaries from the zone. It was fun, mostly we just played fútbol and emailed all day. We had a cita planned for that evening, but it ended up falling through at the last minute. Luckily, we were prepared and I think our…

Misionereando
Email 8/1/18 Hello everybody, Well, well, well. Here we are again. We got transfer calls yesterday, and unsurprisingly, I’m staying here in Sanlúcar to finish training Elder Clark. I’m happy for that. It was sad to receive the news of President Thomas S. Monson’s passing this week. As Elder Clark and I were walking around last…
