<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hello
everyone!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This last
week of my mission has been great. We've
been pretty<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">busy but I'm
happy. I'm excited to be back home with
all the family and<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">to see how
everyone is doing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week we
got to meet the new mission president, President Andersen. We had a great conference with him and he
looks like he is going to do an amazing job as the new president. He and Sister Andersen have had a super busy
week and they are already working hard to get in the rhythm with the mission. I’m
going to spend my last night in the mission home with them and I'm excited to
get to know them a little bit more before I go home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week
I've been saying a lot of goodbyes to missionaries and members here in
Cáceres. It's going to be really hard to
leave the mission but I'm ready to come home now. As I've ended the mission I've been able to
feel that the Lord has accepted my efforts here in Spain even though I have
been a far from perfect missionary. What
they say is true. The mission really is
the best two years, up until now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Well I don't
really have a lot to say and I'll be able to tell you a whole lot more on Thursday. See you soon.
I can't wait to tell you about all my mission stories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Love you tons
and I'll see you this Thursday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hello
everyone!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This has been
a pretty normal week. Here are the
highlights of</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">the week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week we
had another great lesson with E about the gospel of<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Jesus Christ
at J M's house. E is the type
of investigator that every missionary wants.
He's super open, he asks questions when he doesn't understand something
and he does his homework. So far he's doing really well. He was going to come to church this weekend
but I think there was a little miscommunication so he didn't end up coming and
we couldn't get a hold of him so we're going to see if we can get him there
next </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">week.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week we
brought R to church with us. He's a
twelve year old<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Mexican boy
and he's really interested in the gospel.
There aren't really<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">any other
active young men in our branch and that didn't seem to bother him. He stayed
for all three hours with no problem.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Unfortunately
Y, S and P didn't come to church this </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">week. Y is going to Bolivia for a month to
visit her family so </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">the
missionaries will have to pick things back up with her when she </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">gets
back. We're not sure what's going on
with S and P... </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We haven't
heard anything from them in almost two weeks. :/</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">On Friday I
had my exit interview with President Deere and it was<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">super
good. We basically just talked a lot
about my mission and what<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I had learned
and how I have changed. I'll give you a
more a detailed<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">version of
all this stuff when I get home!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This is my
last full week of the mission. The next
time I send a letter home, you will see me in 3 days. Isn't that crazy? I'm excited and nervous and sad all at the
same time but I'm feeling ready for the change.
I'm excited to start applying all the things I've learned on my
mission. When I get home, my purpose
does not change. I am a disciple of Christ now and I will<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">be for the
rest of my life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hello
everyone! Things are going really well here in Cáceres, and it's </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Getting very
hot. Here's the week in review.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week we
got to go to Sevilla to have our final zone conference<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">with President
Deere. We got to hear from both him and
Hermana Deere.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I gave my
final testimony in the conference and Elder Farrell gave </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">his as
well. The Deeres talked to us a lot
about after mission </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">life and how
we can stay in the path of the gospel which was a </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">very appropriate
theme for me since I'm ending this transfer.
We even </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">talked a for
a while about choosing our future spouses which was </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">interesting...
;). I'm still going to be able to see them one more </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">time before I
go home because I have my exit interview this Friday and </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">then </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">they go
home next week. They have been such
great leaders for us </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">here in the
mission. I have been very blessed to be
able to serve </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">under President
Deere's leadership. He is a very Christlike
and inspired man.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">That
afternoon we had a lesson with our friend E from Honduras at </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">T's
house. We taught him the plan of
salvation and after a very </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">spiritual
discussion about the atonement, we set a date for him for </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">the 11 of
July. He is very excited and is doing
really well. He is </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">reading the
Book of Mormon and understanding everything and praying </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">about it so
he's right on track. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Today for p day we
went to Mérida and had a great time there.
There are tons of Roman ruins there.
I'll send you the pictures soon.
We got to see a theater, the stadium where they had gladiator fights, a temple
where they worshiped the goddess Diana, and a bunch of other </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">stuff. One of
the coolest things I've seen on my mission.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Getting close
to the end of my mission is definitely a very humbling </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">experience. I'm going to miss this a lot. My eyes have really been </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">opened on my
mission and I would not trade the experiences I have had </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">here for
anything in the world. It doesn't feel
real that it's about </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">to end. Anyway, we'll talk more about that stuff later...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Do we have
anything planned for the summer? Just curious.
Also, Elder Lelegren wrote me and said that his family wants to come to
my homecoming, but I don't know what time church is back at home this
year. Do you know?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Love you and
have a great week! I'm going to try and
send a ton more pictures now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> When we got to Malaga the Deeres took us out to eat at a Spanish
buffet restaurant, which we all enjoyed, and then we went back to the mission
home for the meetings. We talked a lot
about intercambios, district meetings, and baptismal interviews. It was a very
good and informative meeting and I was reminded a lot of little things that I
need to improve on. </span></div>

that he wasn't before, but he's doing really well). </span><br />

needs the time to study. That was really
hard for us to because she needs to be in a lot of contact with the church over the next few weeks to prepare for her baptism.
She was supposed to come to church with </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">S this week

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello everyone. We
have had another hot, but really good week here in Cáceres. This week has been a little weird because all
of our investigators have been out of town until his weekend but nights are going
really well. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week we met with P for the first time in about a week and had a very good
lesson with her. We talked about the
baptism and everything and had a very good talk about it. She is already certain that she wants to get
baptized and she had told us before that she would like to get baptized on the
17th of July because that is her son’s birthday and it's a very special day for
her. At first we were really trying to
set a sooner date with her than that because we were kind of worried about how
far away it was. She kept telling us how
she wanted it be a special day for her and she would love for it to be on the
17 of July. In situations like this we usually don't like to take no for an
answer but we just tried to listen to the Spirit about what we should do and I
felt at peace with setting the date for the 17 of July so that's what we
did. That taught me a lesson. After being a missionary for almost 2 years
sometimes I think I feel like I know enough, but really there is nothing that can
replace the Spirit in missionary work.
Surely God knows what will happen.
We talked to her a lot about how she could keep moving forward in the
gospel and how she can keep her testimony growing and she accepted. Her date is pretty set in stone now. I won't
be here to see the baptism but that doesn't even matter to me. As long as she
takes the step I am more than happy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We've had quite a bit of contact with S this weekend
and he's doing really well as well. He's
just not quite ready to accept a date.
We always invite him, but he's just convinced he's not ready yet, not
matter what we tell him. We're really
hoping that he follows the example of his mother and chooses to be baptized on
the same day as her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week I had the chance to do an exchange with one of my
favorite missionaries, Elder Thia. We
had a lot of fun and we got to reminisce a lot of our times back in the San
Fernando zone. We ended the intercambio
by eating a liter of ice cream between the two of us, as is tradition. That was the last exchange that I will do on
my mission. Kind of a sad thought, but
we had a lot of fun.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yesterday we had an awesome lesson with a family from
Honduras that we found on the street the other day. We found three new
investigators there so we were pretty excited about that. We have another appointment
with them for this Wednesday.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week I made four trips between Sevilla and Caceres in three days </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">because of transfers and a zone meeting we had in Sevilla. On Wednesday
we dropped off Elder Gonzalez and I said goodbye to him.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">He was a great missionary and he did a lot of
good in his time here in Caceres.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I was in Sevilla pretty much all day and I got to spend a most of
it with Elder Farrell so that was fun.
At around 6:30 p.m. my new companion </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Elder Francia arrived to Sevilla and we got on a bus for Caceres
at about 8:30.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">He is Peruvian and he
lives in Madrid.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">He is a convert and was
baptized about a year and a half ago.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">When he got here he told me that he could have been one of my
converts.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">That's a pretty cool thought.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">When I came on the mission he wasn't even a
member yet and now he's serving a mission.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Anyway, he is in his second transfer and I'm finishing his
training.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">He is a great missionary and
things are going very well with him.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">On Friday, we went to Sevilla to have another meeting about the iPads<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">and then they handed them out to us. I honestly wasn't expecting to get<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">one since I go home this transfer but they gave me one anyway so
I'll be<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">able to enjoy it at least for a little while. We have already used it in a few<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">lessons and it is a really amazing tool. It's going to change the work a lot<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">to have these iPads. But,
even though we have this awesome technology now, it can never replace the power
of the Spirit and the beauty of the gospel of Jesus Christ.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week we haven't really been able to see P and S because they
have been out of town but hopefully we will be able to see them tonight. Y is doing really well and she is feeling the
spirit when she reads the Book of Mormon.
She keeps telling us how she has noticed that her life has been a lot
happier since we started teaching her and have been talking about the gospel
with her. We have seen a lot of progress
in her in these past<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">It´s been a pretty normal week, but we´ve seen a lot of progress in the area. Transfers are next week so we got our transfer calls this weekend. Elder González is going home and he leaves here on Wednesday to go to Málaga. My new companion is going to be Elder Francia. He´s coming from Crevillente which is on the east coast side of the mission and I´m going to be finishing his training. I´m not really sure where he´s from because he´s new and I don´t know him, but he´s South-American and he lives in Madrid. I´m excited to meet him this week. He´ll be my last companion so hopefully I´ll be able to polish off my Spanish with him before I go home. I haven´t had a native companion since my trainer, Elder Galarza. I´ll tell you more about him next week when I meet him.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week we´ve been working with P and S a lot more. P is making a lot of progress and she´s thinking a lot about baptism. She was able to talk to President Deere last week and I think that helped her a lot. She really just needs to make the decision to be baptized because she is more than ready to make the step. We´re trying to persuade her toward that without pushing her into it and we trust that she´s going to make the decision here pretty soon. S still isn´t sure about anything. It´s hard to get him to commit to a date, but he´s reading what we leave him and praying every day.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week we found a new investigator named Y. She is from Bolivia and works taking care of an elderly woman. We´ve met with her 3 times this week in a park near her job and she´s doing well. She´s even introduced us to a few of her friends that live in her piso so we´re planning on going to her house next week to teach them.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This weekend we played soccer again and S came. He says that he doesn´t even like soccer but he plays really well. We also got A there (less active) and a few other friends. We had tons of fun, but I got a little sunburned, but I´m starting to get pretty tan now. The only bad part is that the tan line is from my collar and is very defined.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I don´t have a lot to write about this week because there hasn´t been a ton going on, but it´s been a good week. I´m doing well and the weather is slowly getting hotter and hotter but it sounds like I´m going to escape the hottest part of the year.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This is going to be my last 6 weeks as a missionary. It´s crazy to say that, but I´m ready to work hard through the little time that I have left. Things are going really well here in Cáceres and I know the Lord has big plans for the branch here. Here we go!</span></div>

This has been a really busy week and here´s what I´ve been up to.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
We´ve been meeting a lot with S and P this week. They are golden investigators. We are really just trying to help them get past a couple concerns they have and they should be baptized soon. They are both progressing very well and they have been very involved with the branch this week. S has made good friends with a German RM who just moved in and we are very happy about that. That´s been a great support for S.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
This week on Thursday we had to hop on another late bus to go to Sevilla for a zone meeting and we got there at about 12:00 and took a taxi to the zone leaders house. We had a good zone meeting and we talked a lot about repentance, and why it is so important for our investigators. We had interviews this week and President made an interesting comment about how we as agents with the freedom to chose can make no more important decision than to repent. Repentance is a decision that we all must make at some point.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
Saturday was very very busy. In the morning we organized a little soccer game and Sebastian came and had a great time. At mediodía, we went to the Redds´house and had lunch with the missionaries from Badajoz because Hermana Plummer, Elder González and Elder Thomson are all going home this transfer. We had some delicious Iberian ham and funeral potatoes. After that we ran home to change our clothes and headed over to the park for a branch activity. We all had a great time there, and we ended up having a big old water fight at the end. President Deere was there with us and was talking and visiting with all the members. After that, we went over to the church for our interviews. They were great as always. My next one will be my exit interview when we have zone conference in Sevilla.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
On Sunday, we had our Branch Conference and we got to hear from President Deere and his councilor, President Jiménez. They gave some great talks about continuing revelation and how there is security in following our living prophets. It was an awesome meeting and I learned a lot from the talks that they gave.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
This morning I was studying in 2 Nephi 26 and I found a really interesting scripture. It´s verse 27.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
" 27 Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his salvation? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but he hath given it free for all men;<b>and he hath commanded his people that they should persuade all men to repentance</b>."</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
As members of the church and a part of the Lord's people we are commanded to persuade ALL MEN to repent. That is part of being witnesses of God in all things. We must encourage our family and friends to come unto Christ and repent. There are no exceptions to that rule. Christ wants all to partake of His salvation. That verse made me think a lot.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
Well that´s about it for this week. Next week I´ll know who my last companion will be so I´ll let you know about the changes and everything. Have a great week!</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
Love,</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We had our mission conference this week in Sevilla with Elder Dyches and Elder Allen. It was awesome to be there with the whole mission and to hear from them. We talked about how our mission is going to be receiving ipads soon. A big part of using technology is going to be training us how to use it for during the mission and after so that we always have a good, righteous purpose when we use it. We talked a lot about the power of our agency and that we should use our agency and not be acted upon by other things. We all learned a lot and it was an awesome conference.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">As for P and S they still haven´t been baptized and we´re hoping that this weekend things will work out. They´re both really prepared and ready. It's pretty interesting with them because there are no young men in the branch with the age of S and I think he's ok with it. We really want to focus on him so he can be a pillar to build off of and make a strong young men's program with him and a few less active boys we have here. Anyway, things are going really well with them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">For P-day today we went to a pueblo called Alcántara and saw a Roman bridge from the second century. It´s supposedly one of the best preserved roman bridges in the world. It was pretty cool, though.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Lately I´ve been thinking a lot about the disciple of Christ that I want to be and there is a phrase from conference that always comes to my mind from one of the talks. I can´t remember who said it but it was something like "Small acts of discipleship can spark a bonfire of consecration". I've been thinking about that a lot lately. Consecration doesn't happen over night but as we try to be consistent and sincere followers of Christ, we will be able to become his consecrated servants.</span></div>

This has been a pretty normal week but we´ve also seen a couple awesome miracles.</span><div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Early in the week we went to contact a referral from one of our investigators. The referral is from Ecuador. We got to his house and it turns out that he is a member of the church. He´s been living here for a year but didn´t know where the church was. He´s about 19 and he seems like a really good kid. It was an awesome miracle to find him. We had an awesome lesson with him and he came to English class with us that night to meet some of the members. Here in the branch there are no young men right now, so we´re trying to build it up. We have a couple less actives we are working with and some investigators that are young men that will help in the branch.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We haven´t been able to see P and S much this week but P came to church. They´re doing really well and if all goes as planned they will be baptized this weekend, but we´re not really sure if it will be this week or next week.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week in church our little Capilla was really full. We had 38 people at church--10 more than last week. It was pretty surprising but we were very happy about that. Things are slowly picking up here the members are working to help the branch grow.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We also had a Mother's day activity here in the Capilla for all of the mothers in the branch and there were tons of people there. P came and had a great time there.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Hello hello!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
This has been an awesome week. I´m loving Cáceres even more than I did last week. Here´s the week.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
This week we have been meeting a lot with our investigators. They are a mother and a son and they are golden. P. has already been taught everything she needs to know and we´re teaching S. the lessons right now. We had a really good lesson with them about the plan of salvation and after a long talk about baptism, we set a fecha with them for the 9th of May. We´re praying hard for them.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
We also set a baptismal date with an investigator from Honduras. She was a referral from our ward mission leader. She also has a date for the 9th of May and the only thing in her way right now is that she needs to stop drinking coffee, so we made a little calendar for her to help.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
This weekend we had an activity with the branch and we watched Meet the Mormons. All the members loved it. We got S. to come and he really liked the movie too. We´re planning on showing it again so that the members can bring all their friends to see it with them.</div>

<span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">This Sunday, we had 28 people at church. Our goal for this transfer is to break 32 but it´s been harder than it seems. A member gave a talk this week about faith. It was her first time ever speaking in church. She is a pretty recent convert from a about 2 years ago who got baptized and then had to move out to a pueblo for work and has just recently moved back to Cáceres. She is so sweet and humble and she bore a very simple but powerful testimony of the Savior. We could tell she was a little nervous but when she testified I felt the Spirit very strongly.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
The work is moving along here and I´m loving it. I never thought that I´d love working in a small branch like this, but it´s awesome. <span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Elder</span><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">González</span><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">has been here for one transfer already and he goes home next transfer.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
No, there aren´t any other missionaries here besides the Redds.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Alright, so today has been a little bit crazy and I don´t have very much time to write you, but I want to let you know how I´m doing and what Cáceres is like.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">On Wednesday, I arrived in Cáceres with Elder González after about 7 and a half hours on a bus. It´s not a very big city and it´s pretty calm here, but I really like it. I was kind of hoping to finish my mission in Andalucía but I´m perfectly happy ending here in Extremadura in Cáceres. Here we have a branch and in church on Sunday we had 25 people at church. The capilla is very very small and the chapel is probably about the size of our kitchen at home. The branch has been here for about 15 years and it's growing slowly but surely. The members of the branch are mostly Latin Americans. There are a few Argentinean families, a few Colombians, a few hondureños (not sure how to say that in English) and from a few other Latin American countries. In the ward we have a senior missionary couple. They are the Redds and they are from Canada and they live in Florida. Elder Redd is a counselor in the branch presidency and they´re doing a great job here.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This area is pretty different from what I´m used to working in, but I´m very excited to be working here. All the other wards where I have served have had about 80 or 90 active members but here we are just about 25-30 at church every week including 4 missionaries. One thing that I love though is that everyone here is really close and that they support each other a lot. It´s weird to serve here though because we are so far away from the rest of the mission.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Elder González is great. He goes home this transfer so I´m going to be his last companion. He is from Corpus Cristi, Texas but his family is Mexican so he speaks fluent Spanish. He´s a great missionary and we both served in the same parts of Murcia and Granada just at different times so it's fun to talk about our old areas together.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello everyone! This week has been what I like to call an opposition week...;) Here's how it went.</span></div>
<div>
<div id="AOLMsgPart_2_52693966-6681-4a82-919e-bb1b5395ea6b">
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />So basically this week we've been trying to focus all of our efforts in the city of Granada instead of in the pueblos, because there is a chance that they'll take the car out of our area and move it somewhere else that needs it more than us. It's been kind of a tough week. We have been setting citas with lots of people and the great majority of them have fallen through on us, but we are keeping our heads up. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We got to meet with one of our investigators this week named Osaze. We taught him about the Restoration with Pedro and we had a really good lesson. By the end he had it really clear that he needed to ask God if Joseph Smith really was a prophet. That was one of the highlights of the week. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week is transfer week and I wasn't really sure what was going to happen with me so that's why I didn't say anything before. But, I'm getting transferred! I'm going to <b>CÁCERES and my companion will be Elder González. </b>I don't really know much about the area or Elder González, but Cáceres is a branch of about 30 people from what I've heard. It's also VEEEEEERY far away. I'm pretty sure it's the farthest area away from the mission home. Elder González goes home in 1 transfer and I'll go home the next transfer. Sooooo weird to say that. I'm excited to go there and I'm ready to give it my all in my next and last area. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />This week we went to visit Noemí and Victor who are members. They invited us over for Victor's birthday so we went to visit them for a little while. We had some cake and told jokes around the table for about 30 minutes. We had a really good time with them. We're trying to help them now because they're having kind of a hard time. Really great people. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I've been saying goodbye to everyone in the past couple days and I have some pictures but I don't dare connect my camera to this computer because we're in a pretty sketchy Internet cafe right now. I'll send you them when its more safe. :) I don't want to lose all my pictures. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />As I get closer to the end of my mission I really just want to become the best disciple of Christ that I can be. I think about when President Monson said " I always want the Lord to know that if He needs an errand run, Tom Monson will run that errand for Him”. That inspires me and that's exactly the kind of man I want to be.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Love you a ton and we'll talk soon! </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hello everyone! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Conference weekend has been great. President Deere´s prophecy was fulfilled and we all ate it up with forks and spoons. ;)<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week we had Concilio in Málaga. President Deere announced that in May we will be receiving iPads. I thought I had already missed my chance but it looks like I´ll be here for the whole process of working the iPads into the missionary work here in the Málaga mission. Sometime in May we´ll be getting together as a mission in Sevilla to hear from Elders Allen and Dyches and to receive the iPads and the training on them. Everyone in the mission is pretty excited about it. I like the idea that I´ll be an "iPad pioneer" in the Spain Málaga mission. The dates of everything aren't set yet, but we'll find out soon. We also finally got to see "Meet the Mormons" which was super cool. We all loved it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week was Semana Santa which means that all the processions were roaming around town during the week. The work was a little slower than usually but it was nothing like Dos Hermanas last year. Plus, here in Granada we don´t live in the center so we didn't really see any processions or anything.<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We were able to find a new investigator named Juan Miguel this week . He was a referral from Torremolinos. We had a really good first lesson with him and we set a baptismal date for the 25th of April. He came and watched conference with us at the church and I think he liked it. He looks like he´s had a really hard life and he wants to turn things around. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Conference was amazing. I received a lot of answers to my questions. Conference seems to always come around right when I need it. I learned a lot of things that I wanted to know to help me finish my mission right. I really loved President Eyring´s talk in Priesthood session. I really want to be able to hear the words "Well done" when I finish my mission. I've got lots to do still. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Sorry this is kind of a short letter. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Love you all and have a great week!<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hello everyone! This has been one of the greatest weeks of my mission so far. Here´s how it went.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Last P-day it was Hermano Pedro´s birthday (AKA Grandpa Pete). He´s one of our favorite members here in Granada and he comes out to work with us all the time. We threw a little birthday party for him in the capilla and had a good time. He turned 58 years old. The Hermanas made lunch for everyone. I attached a picture of the party.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week we were able to find a new investigator named Ana. She is from Granada and told us that about 30 years ago when she was a young girl she almost got baptized with her best friend but decided not to in the end. She welcomed us to her home and we shared a little bit about our message with her. The more we talked, the more she opened up and she just really wants to know who God is and what he wants with her. Her father died about a month ago which has been hard for her. A member named Vicente came along with us and bore his testimony We felt the Spirit very strong in that lesson and we set a baptismal date with her for the 25th of April. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">On Tuesday, we went to Málaga for zone conference. We talked a lot about focusing on our purpose and how to help members to fulfil their missionary purpose. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br />On our way home from zone conference we called Adrían so we could meet with him and ask him how his fast went. He didn´t have very much time to meet, but we got together at the capilla for just a little while. We sat down, started with a prayer and asked him how his fast went. He told us all about it and that all of his doubts were cleared up, and then he said "I think that God told Adamson that we should do this super prayer because it really helped me to clear everything up". In the last lesson we had with him we explained that fasting was like a "super prayer". After Adrián finished the fast everything was clear for him and he knew that he needed to be baptized. We did a pre-interview with him and saw that he was very ready to be baptized this weekend. I was very very humbled on that night as we knelt down to pray with him. The Lord placed Adrián in our path and He used us as instruments to help Adrián enter into a covenant with Him. I am so grateful for my calling. I know that God loves every one of His children and he seeks to lead us to Salvation. Adrián was baptized on Saturday by the father of his girlfriend, Alex. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> He was so repentant and a little emotional even just before the baptism started while he was changing into his white clothes. I had the opportunity to confirm him yesterday at church. After he was baptized Adrián could feel the Spirit so strongly and bore his strong, growing testimony with tears in his eyes. That was one of the sweetest experiences of my whole life. Adrián has entered into the door that leads to eternal life. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello Everyone!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Spring time is here and it's </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">finally warming up here in Granada.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This has been another week of traveling and tomorrow we´re going to Málaga for a Zone Conference. Other than traveling to Jaén this has been a pretty normal week. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got to do another intercambio with Elder Buttars and we traveled to Jaén and back so I could pick him up and drop off Elder Christiansen. I had a great time with Elder Buttars. We had a really good intercambio and it was fun to get to catch up with him again. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We've been working with a few Nigerians this week named Joel, Sunny, and James. We've kind of lost contact with Joel and Sunny which is sad because they had baptismal dates, but James is still going really well. He came to church on Sunday for the first time so we were very happy about that. He´s struggling with some family problems right now and I hope we can help him out with the gospel. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Adrián is still doing very well and we´re hoping that he´ll get baptized this weekend. We´re still not positive if it will be this weekend or not because he still has a problem with one of the commandments, but he knows what he needs to do. We did a fast with him this weekend so that he could receive an answer from God that his decision to be baptized was right and so that he would be able to feel the truthfulness of how the commandments bless us. We´re going to call him this afternoon to do a little follow up to see how things went. We´re praying for him.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week we received a referral from the bishop of a family who lives out in a pueblo called Dúrcal that's about 20 minutes away. I´m not sure how he got in contact with them but we went out to meet them and they were really nice people. They belong the the New Apostolic Church which I had never heard of before and they are VERY believing. We didn't get to talk with them for too long but they are great people with a lot of problems and trials. We hope to meet with them again this week. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Things are going well here in the zone. Elder Christiansen and I got off to a bit of a slow start because we are trying to adjust the area a little bit because there will most likely be changes coming soon here in Granada. Things are starting to pick up a little more here, though. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's about it for the week. Hope things are going well back at home! I love you! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hello everyone! This has been a great week. We just got back from the Alhambra. We went for P-day today and it was soooooo awesome. I´ll send some pictures home of it. It´s one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. It´s got tons of really cool history and the art inside of it is unbelievable. It´s all so intricate. </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week we started off with a really good Concilio in Málaga. It´s always nice to get to see all of my good friends from the mission there. While we were talking about what the mission needed we decided that we need to help the mission to focus on finding new investigators more and hitting the standards of excellence, so we challenged all the companionships in the mission to hit the standard of 5 new investigators in one week before March ends. I got to spend a lot of time with Elder Farrell and that was lots of fun.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week we got to see Adrián at Juani´s house. He´s doing really well. He´s had a bit of a hard time with one of the commandments but he knows it's what he needs to do. He´s just got to try it out so he knows it's what´s good for him. He´s so humble and he listens very well to everything we say to him. I´m sure he'll be able to get over this little speed bump. He´s still excited to be baptized on the 28th. We´re praying hard for him this week.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week there was another concert in the church and the city people from Granada came. We actually got to talk about the Book of Mormon with a few of the people in the choir, so that was cool. After it was over we had to clean everything up and move the benches back. Elder Christiansen moved a bench out of the chapel, and it was one of the long ones that goes in the middle section of the chapel. It was really heavy but we got everything done super fast so we could get home on time.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Things are going really well in our ward. We´ve got a lot of new members that are doing really well and a lot of less active members who are returning. On Saturday there was a wedding reception for Miguel and Bea who are a recently reactived less active member and a recent convert. There´s lots of work to be done here and I love working here. I´m starting to wonder if I</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">'m</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">going to finish my mission here or if</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I´ll</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">be sent to somewhere else. I asked President about it in interviews and he</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">didn´t</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">really know either.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> We´ll</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> see.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week was transfer week and Elder Metcalf had to leave on Sunday afternoon, so I stayed with the other Granada Elders for about 3 days while I waited for Elder Christiansen to come. I had a good time with them and got to know Elder Quinn and Pomazón a lot more. On Wednesday, Elder Christiansen got here. He is a GREAT missionary. He´s been in the mission for one transfer less than me and he´s also from Texas. He is super funny and he´s really really smart. I´m pretty sure he was the Valedictorian of his high school. He went to one year of BYU before coming on the mission. I´m super excited to be his companion. He´s already great. Also, he´s from Fort worth Texas. Two Texans in a row!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week one of the biggest highlights was that we got to meet with Adrián in Juani´s house. They live in the same pueblo so it was a lot easier for Adrián to meet there. Juani was a great member present and he even offered to take Adrián to church on Sunday. Adrián is doing really well and he´s progressing well towards his baptismal date on the 28th of March.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We´ve got a bit of a shortage of investigators but the few that we do have are doing really well. We set another fecha with a man named James from Nigeria. He's a really good guy and told us that he's never been baptized and he would like to be. He still hasn´t been able to come to church yet, though so we´ll see how things go with him.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week in church was really good. We had Noemí and Victor, and Thaynara all come for the first time in a while. They are a little less active right now but we´re working with them, I also got to give a talk in church this week. I spoke about the atonement and missionary work and how the experiences that we have with the Savior move us to want to share the gospel with other people. It turned out well, I think. That is what really drives people to share the gospel. I shared the story about Elder Bednar's two little boys that he shared in the last general conference.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Today we're going to head out to Málaga for Concilio so I've gotta head out now. I´ll let you know how it went next week.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Another great week in Granada! Here's the highlights</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Last week we were able to meet with the boyfriend and a girl is coming back to church with her dad and two younger sisters who were baptized last week. His name is Adrián and he's 22 years old. We had a couple really good lessons with him this week and we set a baptismal date with him for the 28 of March in the first lesson. He has already come to church like 3 or 4 times and he is really interested in learning more about the Church.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We also had an activity this week where we played a little futbol and basketball with some non members and we invited Adrián and some Mak. They both came and we had lots of fun. I was pretty rusty playing basketball.. ha ha</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week we traveled to Almería to do a baptismal interview. It was a pretty long drive, but it was worth it. It´s about 2 hours away from Granada. That same day, we came back to Granada and had our interviews with President and they were great.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week we found out about the transfers in the zone. On Friday night we got a call from President Deere. My companion, Elder Metcalf has been assigned to be the new assistant to the president. We found out on Friday and he left Sunday afternoon so he got out of here pretty quick without much time to say goodbye. Elder Metcalf has done some great work here in Granada and he´s been an amazing companion. I´ve learned lots with him and he´ll be a great assistant. Right now I´m with the other two Elders here in Granada, Elder Pomazón and Elder Quinn until Wednesday when my new companion gets here. His name is Elder Christiansen and he´s coming from Alicante. He has been in the mission for a transfer less that I have and I replaced him when he left San Fernando. I don´t really know him, but I´ve heard some great things about him.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">That's about all the highlights for this week. The mission is going great. Sometimes these little changes get me out of my comfort zone, but that´s really what I need. The things that I've learned on the mission are priceless. We watched the Joseph Smith movie the other day and there is a part in Joseph Smith History when he says "I knew it, and I knew that God knew it, and I could not deny it". I can say the same thing about my testimony of Christ. I know He lives and I will never, nor will I ever be able to deny it. The Spirit has engraven that in me, and the same thing is available to every humble seeker of truth.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hope you´re all having a great week! Love you!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>

This week has been one of the greatest of my mission so far. We´ve had a lot of awesome stuff going on. Here it is.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Last week for P-day we went up to the Sierra Nevada to go sledding and had a blast there. In the city of Granada it was super cloudy and kind of an ugly day, but we got up above all the clouds and I even got a little sun burnt. We had a ton of fun up there and it was beaaaautiful. I´ve missed the mountains.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week in the mission we had a week of setting baptismal dates and the goal was to have 250 in the mission. We ended up with 252 and we made the goal! In our last concilio President said he didn´t think that the mission had ever broke 200 so we killed that record. We have a lot of really hard working missionaries in the mission right now and things are going great. Here in Granada we had 14 fechas in the zone, which wasn´t as much as we wanted, but still 14 children of God that are being prepared for baptism.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I got to go to Jaén this week with Elder Buttars on an intercambio--yet another intercambio with one of my former companions. When I was with Elder Buttars in San Fernando, we were always running around--literally running-- all over the place. Just as I predicted we did some running to a few places. ha ha ha Good old Elder Buttars. He´s a great missionary and I learned a LOT from the time I had with him in San Fernando. He is training right now in Jaén.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We had a very white weekend here in Granada. Here in the ward there were 4 baptisms on Saturday night, one of which was Juani. :) </span></div>

The baptism was a very very special one. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> We got to hear some very special testimonies from Juani, Mak, Mayra, and Atiana, and they were all feeling the Spirit so strongly. All the hard moments of the mission are worth it when you see your repentant brothers and sisters coming to Christ. It is such an honor to be a representative of the Savior in helping them to find their way back. All four of the people who were baptized all have a great start to a strong testimony and a life of activity in the church. Such a great day. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We´ve had a good week with quite a few surprises and ups and downs. Things are going well here in Granada and the weather has been a lot nicer this week.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">So we´ve been visiting Juani about every other day this week. He´s doing really well and if all goes well he should be getting baptized either this weekend or next weekend. We had a little complication with him this week with a commandment but we talked about it last night and he´s still as golden as ever. Conchi is also doing really well.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week we´ve been looking for menos activos all over the province of Granada because we haven´t really been focused on finding through them so far. We found a less active named Charo who lives in a pueblo close to the mountains. She teaching horse-riding lessons and has a big ranch and has like her own little zoo complete with iguanas and a monkey, We had a nice little chat with her. It has been a long long time since she has come to church and now her main work day is Sunday so it´s gonna be a big sacrifice for her to come back but she knows the church is true and she wants to have an eternal family so we´re hoping she´ll realize how much she needs the gospel soon. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We started to teach one of the Hermana's investigators named Yasmín. She is 12 years old and from Brazil and things are looking good with her. We had a good lesson with her this week and she came to church with a member. I was going to try and show off a little of my Portuguese skills from Dos Hermanas but then I realized I have a vocabulary of like 20 words...ha ha</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week I got my papers that tell me that I´m going home soon... Wieeeeeerd. It basically just said to get everything ready for when I go home and to let the mission know if there are any change of plans. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Dad, this is how a P-day usually goes</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We wake up, do all the normal routine and study and then we leave the piso at 10:30 then I usually come here to the cyber cafe to write home, and then we go do something fun. Today for example I think we are going to go to the Sierra to play in the snow. After we finish what ever we do that day, we go and buy groceries and then wash the car and then go out to work at 6:30 until 9:45.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week we had a great Concilio in Málaga.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> We talked a lot of setting fechas and we decided that we are going to have a week of setting baptismal dates like we did here in the zone.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> In our zone meeting this week we tried to get everyone excited about the goal and to finish off zone meeting we read the story of Captain Moroni and the title of liberty. I ripped a piece of fabric off of Elder Metcalf that was taped to his back where we had our own title of liberty. We made little ones for all the companionships in the zone. Our zone goal is to have 10 baptisms in Febrero and 30 fechas by the 21 of Febrero. Things are going really well here.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week we have seen quite a few miracles. We found a less active named Conchi and her non member husband (Juani) who are very humble and ready to come back to the church. We have a fecha with Juani for the 21st and he´s doing really well and he´s already come to church 2 times. He´s very prepared and I think we´re the first missionaries to ever meet him. Loveth is also doing great despite the fact that she is out of a job. She´s so happy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Great things are happening in the mission and I´m loving every minute of it. This morning I read a talk by President Benson and in part of it he said something like "Christ tries to lift us up to where he is. Do we desire the same thing for our brothers and sisters." Christ can help us to build up that desire to help our family and friends to return to live with Him. He is love personified I know he lives and that he has been by my side all of my mission.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hello everyone! This week we've gotten a lot of rain here in Granada and we´re been traveling all over the place. Here's how the week went:</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Last P day we went to el Mirardor de San Nicolas again with the new missionaries in the district so they could see the Alhambra and just kind of took a stroll through downtown Granada. I forgot my camera cable today but I'll send you the pictures soon.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week we've been staying pretty close to Loveth because she's been having a pretty difficult week. She's lost her job among other things and has been pretty down so we've been with her just about every day to see how she´s doing. But, this Sunday she came to church with a big smile on her face and I had the opportunity to confirm her a member of the church. When she left church she was smiling from ear to ear and she left a lot happier than she came. I´m positive that she's been having a lot of trials lately because of her baptism, but she's doing a lot better now.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">On Wednesday we had our DÍA DE DIAMANTE and we spent the entire day just talking with people. Elder Metcalf and I went on two opposite sides of a small street and we just went at it. Later in the afternoon we had two members come with us and do splits. At the end of the day we had gotten the information of 51 people, and we beat the goal of 2015 futures in the mission. It was a good day and it has helped me to remember the importance of opening my mouth and letting the truth come out. In lots of the contacts that I did I could feel the Spirit testifying through me of the truths I was telling the people in the streets. Now it´s time for the harvest and we´re going to see how many of these people we can bring to Christ!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week we have traveled to Jaén for a baptismal interview, and I drove to Málaga and back the other day for an intercambio that we had with the Assistants. Elder Phipps came with me to Granada and we had a good time. That night we were able to set a new fecha with Fran who just really needs to take the step to be baptized. He´s come to church a lot already and has a testimony of the restoration. We set the fecha with him for the 14th of February so we´re going to see how things go with him. We´re also teaching a friend of Loveth whose name is Sunny and he has come to church with us two times already, but it´s kind of hard to meet with him.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Things are going really well here in the zone and I'm still loving Granada. I'm more and more thankful every day for the calling that I have to be a missionary. My time is going a lot faster than I ever thought it would, This time really is so precious to me. I'm trying hard to use it well.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Thanks for all the early birthday wishes! I'll</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">let you know how it goes next week, Today we have</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">concilio</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">and we've</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">got to head out soon to pay for parking.
