Calvin is now in the beautiful city of Chiclana! (new address posted on the right column)i guess we can go anywhere in the mission on pday. but pday starts at 11 and ends at 6;30 so we dont have much time. We´ve just been hanging around here the past couple weeks. cadiz is 40 minutes away. san fernando which is a big city is like 20-25 minutes away. but we have 5 elders here so its fine to just hang around. the area is split so there are two other elders on the other side of town. one is elder hall. im not sure if he has a blog, but hes from my group and is from salt lake. he´s really cool. he looks a lot like tyler balkman. there are 2 sisters in my district,both natives.
no
we won't move to a bigger place. the mission doesnt want to buy any more pisos
right now. in a few months i'm sure this area will move back to only two elders.
im hoping after this transfer but we´ll see.
[...] but my other comp...I LOVE HIM. we
get along really well and he's really funny. i really dont understand why he had
such a bad rep. i wish he trusted me more to talk in lessons but he's realizing
that i can contribute more than our other companion.
the
ward is really awesome. theres an american family that's in the ward. the guy
works for the u.s. military here in cadiz so they moved the whole family
here. I´m not sure where hes from but his wife is from eugene. They are a totally
normal young american couple with a couple young kids. i think they are about
35ish. his name is robert guttenburg. we´re going to eat at their house
tomorrow at 6. a normal, american time to eat a meal!!
ok
so we have an investigator who wants to get baptized, but she lives with her
boyfriend, and shes going to have a baby any day now. shes like 40 and hes like
26 (bad decision on her part). so they arent going to get married or anything,
and she knows that he has another girlfriend on the side. hes not interested in
the gospel or anything, but shes really nice and is always making us dinner. we
went over to her house a few days ago, and she told us that the night before,
she asked her boyfriend to set up the crib for the baby. he was doing it wrong,
and she was telling him that, and they started getting in a fight, and he broke
the crib (punched it so the wood shattered). she got super mad and called his
other girlfriend, saying that SHE was his girlfriend and was pregnant. so the
other girl came over the apartment and they all had a fight, and the guy took
all his stuff and moved out. so she was almost crying when she told us this, so
we bought some glue and fixed the crib, and got a member woman to come over and
hang out with her. She´s having a baby any day and the guy just left. what a
shame. but now she can get baptized!!!! but the guy owns the apartment, and im
sure he´ll want to see his child, so it´s a sticky situation. we´ll see how it
goes.
ok
so we have another investigator. she´s a bit crazy but is soooo spiritual. we
took her to the chapel and gave her a tour. there were a bunch of youth and
pèople there for an activity so it was perfect for her to meet them. we waited
until the end to show her the baptismal font, but when we were talking about
it, we looked inside and in the corner of the font was THE BIGGEST COACKROACH
I´VE EVER SEEN. just hanging out in the corner. she didnt say anything about it
but we were freaking out and just said ¨o yeah and we´re gonna clean the font
really well before the baptism¨. it was really funny. she has a date to get
baptized for the 28th of september, but we found out that shes not married. she
said she was, but in spain you can become a legal couple, but thats different
from being legally married. and she isnt legally married. but we told her that
and she said ok monday i´m gonna try and see how to get legally married. shes
awesome. she talks a lot and seems a little crazy at times but shes really
nice. she has a 19 year old daughter whos pregnant and she was there when we
were talking about the law of chastity and the mom kept looking at her saying
¨ISN'T THIS WHAT I WAS TELLING YOU LAST NIGHT¨ HOW COULD THEY HAVE KNOWN WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT THIS?? THEY ARE INSPIRED OF GOD. it was pretty awkward. but she
asked for a blessing of comfort for her and her daughter. so i gave her
daughter a blessing which was pretty cool.
i
think thats about it. we had ward council which was really good. everyone wants
to help. there are a ton of inactive people. 134 woman on the relief society
role but only 30 are attending...
love
ya love ya adios
