Happy Birthday to Mom (June 17, 2013)

• hey happy birthday, it was friday right?   flag day tambien. i didnt get to email for very long last time so i think you were the only person i wrote to.  today was pretty hectic. we had to go to alicante in the morning because elder vosters had to do his residency card. we had a zone p-day in alicante after, playing soccer, BUT, we weren’t going to be able to go because we had to go back to crevillente because our NEW COMPANION was arriving. yes we are now in a trio. President Deere called and said we were going to be in a trio, but not for very long. we're not 100% sure yet but i think edler vosters will leave in a few weeks and me and Elder Leon will stay in crevillente. its a little weird, but it happens. we just met Elder Leon. hes from barcelona but his parents are from peru. He’s been out 3 months i think. He’s a native spanish speaker so that will help with my language.

• not much to say this week. the 18 year old we´ve been teaching, who lives with the branch president and both his parents are members, is getting baptized next week. he didnt even tell us, they just announced it at church yesterday morning. we were a little annoyed and felt like he was leaving us out of the process, but he said he had literally decided on his way to church that morning. but its ok, since his family are members they are organizing everything which takes a lot of pressure off us.

• there are a couple other teenage girls we are teaching too. one really wants to be baptized and has a date for the 7th of julio. her friends is catholic but comes over to be taught by us and is reading and prays and stuff, so things seem well with her too.

• i guess you can say we are a good team. we work hard. the standards of excellence for the mission is 20 total lessons a week, and we usually get about 25-30. personally i think we should be teaching our serious investigators more...

• i really cant think of much of what i want in a care package...ooooo instant propel/gatorade powder packets to put in water. PLEEEEASE. and a usb drive with music please.

• pdays we usually just go to elche where the other elders in the district live. its fun. theres a burger king and a shopping mall there. its annoying having to bus back and forth though. we might stay in crevillente more now that there are 3 of us. Theres’ a golf course an hour away we want to go golfing for a bit.

• yeah and i read in D&C 77 that cato will be resurrected!!! it made me so happy when i read that. just read the section summary. it gives me peace and hope to know that i can live with my dog forever!?
