June 21 & June 28

~ So we have been having some success over here, it´s been really amazing, there´s been miracle after miracle with the mission work. Before yesterday I hadn´t seen one investigator in church, but yesterday we had 3 come out. One is just about ready for baptism, and one of the others his sister started hearing the lessons here on this island when he started. Then she went to live in Malalga, and got taught by the missionaries there, and she got baptised there. Now she has moved back here, so they all came to church yesterday and it was cool. The kid we teach says that it´s not fair that he started taking the lessons first and she got baptized before him, so we think she´ll be a good influence on him. We are just loving it over here. we had a mini zone conference here where we used the camera in the chapel to watch a zone conference in malaga that they had with an area 70 named Elder Kerr from Scotland, and it was really powerful, and just awesome.
We are going to go to Gran Canaria in 2 weeks to have another zone conference with the new mission president. It won´t be the same but he´ll have the authority for the mission work in these areas. I want to stay here in this area for the whole mission, or at least three two more transfers, I went three transfers with my trainer so I hope we can just stay here for a little while. It really doesn´t matter but I just really love this place, and the people are super awesome. Everything is going good, stay happy and keep working hard.

6-28-2010 That´s awesome that Logan´s the branch president, we get the chance to help a lot here too. We had a family home evening for the branch, and just before there was a graduation ceremony for seminary in the chapel. There was some miscommuncation, and everyone who was in the seminary graduation thought that the family home evening was canceled, so they all left including the people who had the lesson so everyone else who had come to the chaple and prepared the game and refreshments for the family home evening were kinda mad. Then someone asked if we had a little lesson prepared that we could give and I told them that we are missionaries, and that we teach for a living, so we were able to teach everyone the message of the restoration, and it turned out all right.
We heard yesterday from just about every one of the young men at least 3 times each that America lost, I was quite sad, but my comp and I concluded that it´s better for our personal safety that we don´t win the world cup while we´re living in Spain. As they say here the match between Spain and Portugal is going to be a "partiraso" (just a really good game). Anyways, thanks for all your prayers and all your support, I miss you all a mountain (spanish expression) don´t worry be happy!
