Email 23/10/17 Hello everybody, The theme of Elder Kassing’s and my week was, “We’re not sure whether to laugh or cry right now.” You’ll see why. We had another lesson with Mike, the American, on Monday evening. Noche de Mike. Mike home evening. We were going to try showing him the Joseph Smith: Prophet the Restoration movie in…

Email 16/10/17 Hello everybody, It’s another transfer week. Elder Kassing and I are both staying here in Sanlúcar. In fact, our entire district is staying the same, so I guess life will just keep going like it has been. We’re starting to see good progression, bit by bit, with our investigators. Last Monday, we went to…

Email 9/10/17 Hello everybody, In this recent general conference, a talk that I really liked was given by Elder Rasband. The title, “By Divine Design” is to say that in the Lord’s work, there aren’t any such things as coincidences. Elder Rasband quoted Elder Neil A. Maxwell’s thoughts on the subject, saying: “None of us…

Email 2/10/17 Hello everybody, Yeah. Another week.  On Monday evening, we went to teach our investigator, Mike, the American. He is half Spanish and half American, was born here in Spain, but lived in the States for a long time and served in the Navy. Being in his house feels like being back in the…

Email 25/9/17 Hello everybody, I think this is my 70th weekly email that I’ve sent out. I wonder if anyone still reads these. But if not, it doesn’t matter, because I’ve written in anyways, and even if it just sits in your inbox for the rest of eternity, doesn’t matter either because I’ve done my part.…

Email 18/9/17 Hello everybody, I think that I always start my emails saying that it was a crazy week, but this week was indeed an insane one. So I’ll just kind of go through it day by day. On Monday, we decided to go to Él Puerto de Santa Maria and have a district preparation day.…

Email 11/9/17 Hello everybody, Transfer weeks are always a crazy blur of saying goodbye to the familiar places and faces and being thrown into the midst of a brand new world. As stressful as it can be, more than anything, it’s exciting to be able to be somewhere new and to have new experiences.  This week,…

Email 4/9/17 Hello everybody, This was an unusual week. On Tuesday, we said goodbye to Elder Craven, who was going home a week early in order to be able to start college in time. Because transfers aren’t until this Wednesday, Elder Trowell has been with us since Tuesday and will be with us until his new companion,…

Email 28/8/17 Hello everybody, This week flew by, which I attribute to having basically two days dedicated to intercambios here in our area with the other elders and two days which were spent in Málaga due to the Zone Conference. The intercambio that we had with Elder Craven and Elder Trowell went really well, and we…

Email 21/8/17 Hello everybody, It has been another good week in the Lord’s work. Everything is going well with finding and teaching. Those who we have been teaching already have been progressing bit by bit, and we’ve found a few more people to add to our teaching pool, including a family from Paraguay: we met…
