The
beginning of this week was pretty boring. But Thursday I was in Elche for
exchanges. It was fun and nice to have a break from my companion. We played
soccer with some youth in the ward there which was really fun. I had a goal
which is pretty tough to do because all the other guys are really really good.
Then Friday we went to Alicante for Zone Conference. As a mission we're going
to try and find 555 new investigators in one week. It'll be really hard, but
I'm excited. Then after Zone Conference I went back to Elche and did exchanges
with someone else. They're having a huge holiday all this week and last week to
celebrate the Christian and the Muslims in the City. (http://www.visitelche.com/en/world-heritage/moros-y-cristianos/) They have huge fake wars
and blow cannons all night. Tomorrow night is a huge free for all, and everyone
in the street just shoots fireworks at eachother point blank. It's super
dangerous and last year a little kid died and the year before a woman died too.
The police just leave for the night and don't want to worry about it. It's
super messed up. I think the missionaries there are going to stay inside.
Because literally if you're walking in the street you'll get shot at.
Saturday
we went back to Alicante to help their ward find less'active youth ( they have
a lot). I got to go out with Elder Dansie, we were friends from the MTC so
it was really fun to work with him for a couple hours.
Sunday
night we had our baptism. I got to baptize Miguel which was really cool. It was
a nice baptism, the whole branch came pretty much.
That's
pretty much it for this week
Spain
will find any reason to not work. So they have holidays all the time for
different Saints and festivals. Pretty much once a month in Crevillente, and in
the bigger cities like Elche and Alicante every couple of weeks they shut everything
down. It's dumb.
I
picked up the gatorade in Alicante on Friday. Everyone was super jealous!!
