Surf's Up! 6 months Out - 25% (September 23, 2013)

yeah the six months flew by. like i told domineau, i feel like i really havent started my mission yet. and i´m sure the next 18 months will go by even faster. thats good about christian. i´d like to email him. if you can send me his email i´ll try and send him an email next week before he leaves.

my american comp is leaving tomorrow - he'll be working in the mission home. [...]

we went and ate at the american families house this past week. they live out of the city in kind of a

Hard to believe they have surf this big in his area in Spain but... (not C's pic)

resort-long term vacation area. its in santi petri, which is sooo nice. right on the beach, and has golfing, super nice hotels and everything. there house is literally right on the beach. there backyard is the beach. we ate fajitas which were really good. the family is really nice. they lived in italy for a little while before spain, and they really dont seem to want to move back to the U.S. the wife seems to really not like the u.s. she mentioned that she thought us declaring independence from the UK was a bad move...ok...but theyre nice. robert is like a total surfer guy. he says he goes surfing at least a couple times a week.

our pregnant woman investigator says she wants to get baptized, were gonna wait until after the baby, which should come this week. shes been really moody lately. anything we say to her she finds a way to make it negative. but friday night there was a musical put on by the stake, and it was about the french-spanish war, so nothing about the church. it was a big event in san fernando, and a ton of non members and members were there at nice theater down town. it got a ton of publicity. our pregnant investigator wanted to go so we were able to go to. she got all dressed up to go (which was annoying because we missed two buses waiting for her to get ready), and she was like super pretty before she was pregnant. and she told us that all her life shes been the hottest girl around, and shes depressed about it now. but she got all made up and looked really good. it was a fun night. my comp took some pics ( i forgot my camera) i´ll try and get them. 

saturday and sunday was stake conference. we had a stake priesthood meeting which was really good. the stake president is such a beast. so spiritual. he talked about setting goals and stuff, and then also, (it seemed kind of random) he basically begged everyone who was having problems with pornography to stop and repent. it was a little out of place at first but you could tell that it was so guided by the spirit, and it was so powerful. they also talked about finding the less active members in our stake and working with them. a lot about missionary work too. i hope youre ready, because i guarantee at conference in a couple weeks the GA´s are going to beat you all to death about helping the missionaries more...

the ward and city are good. i took a few pics of the city. most of that area is the other elders though. we have a lot of ugly roads and farms.

thats about it. i think things will be more effective now that we´re only going to have the two of us.

love you and hope things are going well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
