Jerez de la Frontera, Cadiz
SPAIN
That´s my address, my companion is amazing!!! I have trouble understanding why me why am I so blessed. He´s from switzerland and he speaks german, but he speaks like a native in both english and spanish. He was the A.P. to the president for like 7 transfers(months, and then he came here to Jerez. We walk so much, and I absolutely love it. The south of Spain is beautiful,compared to Madrid it´s amazing. There´s so many colors, and the air is so fresh. We traveled by train to Jerez and there were miles and miles of olive trees. It is awesome. Our trainers are amazing, Elder Solari's companion is our district leader, and they are here to serve the lord. The ward is awesome everyone is so nice and I´m learning so much spanish it´s crazy, everyone keeps telling Elder Solari and I that we speak and understand a ton already, and I really feel like I am understanding a bunch of what they say. In the MTC we had hear that in the province of Cadiz, the people speak the fastest, and with the strongest accent, so when we were guessing where our first area was going to be I said that I wanted to go to Cadiz were they speak crazy, cause if I learn there first, everywhere else will be easy, and sure enough here I am. They leave off letters and really do speak so fast, but I´m catching on. Yesterday, Monday was our p-day but we couldn´t email cause our zone went to the Rock of Gibraltar for the day. It was way fun, It´s owned by Britain for some reazon, and yeah there´s this big mountain which is the Rock of Gibraltar, and there´s monkeys that live on it, and they´re crazy. So yeah this is amazing, our apartment is tiny tiny, but it´s awesome because the 4 elders in it are great. I feel so safe, and yeah, one thing that stinks is that everyone thinks we´re Jehovas Witnesses, but it´s amazing to see their view of us change once they hear more about us. We are buying a pata de jamon today!!! (a leg of ham) I´m honestly so excited to buy one, we found out the best kind to get, and my companero says it should last for like 2 months between all 4 of us. We´re getting an iberico pata. There´s serrano, patata negra, and iberico. They´re are three different kinds of pigs, and they feed them different stuff that makes the meat better haha! So we heard iberico is the best so we´re gunna try it. I seriously love it here! I´m so happy I have a walking mission, It´s such good exercise and low impact haha!
