High Fashions and Delicious Paella!


May 20, 2013

[Uh Oh – We were doing so well with the punctuation – that’s over!  Little worried that he’s only been in Spain 2 months and he already wants a Man Purse!!  -- Suzie aka Mom]

All-
  • so sorry to hear about grandpa., i´m glad you had an opportunity to be with him before. (my,Suzie’s, father passed away this week)
  • my companion had to go to a meeting in malaga so i was in elche for a couple days and went out with the two sets of missionaries there.
  • the elche soccer team just won their championship so they moved into the primera league with barca and madrid so the whole city has been really excited
  • we have an investigator getting baptized in two weeks, and hopefully will have a couple more for that week as well. we haven´t found anyone new to teach since i´ve been here which is rough. i feel like i don´t really know any of my investigators very well. but hopefully we get some new ones soon.
  • i ate paella twice this week. one was with seafood and it had shrimp, jumbo shrimp, tuna, oysters, squid, and some other time of squid too. it was really good i loved it. and then i had a chicken paella at another house which was really good as well.
  • it was a weird week because i was in elche, but we still managed to teach a bunch of lessons. one less-active woman who we teach english to says she wanted to bring her young children to see the chapel one day. this is amazing because last week she was telling us how she didn´t believe in the church at all anymore. this week she was asking a lot of questions about the church in our area so we´re excited. she´s really nice and from hungary and has a non-member husband.
  • today we went to the mall in elche. omg i´m in love. im literally going to buy $5000 worth of clothes before i leave. everything is so cheap and stylish. i bought 4 slim short-sleeved white shirts for 6 euros each. and a really nice pair of tailored pants for 15 euros. i was so close to buying a leather man purse, but i think i´ll wait a few more months...
