Transfer 6 Week 4
Leganes Spain


Hola! 

Okay, so I have another joke....This one is really funny.

Okay, so there is this guy. He is a good looking guy, he's got a good job, and is in a good position in his life. He has been dating this girl. She is way out of his league. She is beautiful, smart, and successful. Clearly he knows that he has scored, so he wants to lock her down. He decides that he is ready yet get married, and so he goes to Tiffany and picks out the ring. He plans the whole night out. The start with a long walk on the beach. Then they finally make it to the pier. Then walk all the way down, and look at the sunset for a little bit. The slight crashing of the waves, and breeze brushing their hair makes the moment perfect. He gets down on one knee, while she was still turned around. He puts the ring out, and gets it ready. For a split second, he gets distracted, and the ring falls from his hands, inbetween the Crack and into the waves. Heart broken and frustrated he gets up. She didn't see. So he decided to go to this restaurant on the beach. The both order, he gets the Mahi Mahi, and she gets the pasta special with clams. As she starts to eat, she opens up a clam... Guess what was in it?      

The Donut! 

So this week has been really great! We had lots of lessons, and ate with lots of people. So last week our elders and us made a "Family Plan." So it is basically a plan to help the families you single members  set goals to become more self reliant, physically and spiritually; serve others, invite others to activities, and to share something with them, like a testimony or a book of mormon. So we started that plan, and included the ward mission plan, a calender of activities, and a letter to all of them. So this week we have introduced it to all of the leaders and their families. So it has gone really well, and we will hopefully see many fruits in the future. 

MIERCOLES:

So we went to the temple, which was a,axing as always. I'll tell you, going to the temple while being on a mission is the coolest thing ever. So the temple is about an hour and 15 minutes from where we live so we had to get up really early but it was worth it. After the temple, as a zone we went to the pit, which is the big futbol cancha that we used to play at in the MTC. So we played futbol for like 3 hours, and I got super sunburned and tired... Then we went to the Capilla en pavaones and wrote, and then we were invited to eat with some members how were staying in the temple rooms, who were visiting from the south of Spain and Portugal. So the made us some spaghetti, and then we left and went to the Piso. 

JUEVES:

So on Thursday we had a big ward activity in Parque Polvoranca which is this big park right outside of Leganès. So we took a train, and then got off and walked for like 45 minutes until we finally got there. We got lost, because of bad directions so.. But it was super fun. The members fed us, and we played volleyball, and futbol, and fed the ducks and fish. So after that we left, and did studies, then we had a lesson with a members named Isabel. 

VIERNES:

Well I woke up looking  like a lobster because of the sheer amount sunburn. My legs face and arms were crispy.. but it wasn't a big deal because we did it weekly planning, so we did in the have to leave in the morning. When weekly planning finished we went to teach Rosie, who is our progressing investigator. She is spanish and just the sweetest person you'll ever meet. So we had a great lesson with her, and she will be baptized next transfer.  Then we had english class, and then we went with the elders to getafe, and I sang and played the guitar while they stopped people and talked to them, and handed out lots of Book or Mormons and pamphlets. It was super fun and super successful. HNA Jarman made this one man cry. Juan Luis was his name.

SABADO:

Well we wn r and played futbol, but we went to a diffrent cancha (field but concrete), and there were to Many players so Elder stout, HNA Jarman and I played parcheese, which is the game "Sorry." HNA Jarman destroyed us, and then we played again, and she won again. Then we went and did our studies and then we went to San Cristòbal, which is the "Ghetto" part of our area.  They just think is ghetto because then haven't been to Houston (#5th ward)... Come on. So we went and visited with Elsi, who is just the sweetest little Ecuadorian lady you'll ever meet. We shared the family plan with her, and it went swimmingly. Then by the time we got back, it was already time to go home.. 

DOMINGO:

Well we had church. So the night before, HNA Jarman go a call from the bishops counselor, asking her to speak in sacrament meeting the next day..  So she said yes, and prepared her talk and gave it! It was super awesome and about the atonement. Then I guess they didn't have anyone else to talk so the bishops counselor got up during HNA Jarman talk and asked elder stout to speak after her. A little short notice. Then after church we did studies, atonement D G made some bomb eggs with veg? Does that rhyme? Then we went to getafe and went singing again, and it was super cool because like 3 or 4 people came up to me and started talking to me about why we where there, and what we did, and everything. And then I found some super cool Nigerians and gave then B

Book of Mormons. It was the best!

LUNES:

Now we're on our way to Toledo! I'm finally going, so I will probably buy a t-shirt or a Fanny pack or something! Also fun fact: Toledo has this river running around that is the perfect temperature to temper swords. So this is to help only place in to hehe world where you can get a real, legit, sword. So all of the swords from movies like Lord of the Rings, etc are from Toledo. Anyhow I will send pics and stuff. 

P.S....  If you didn't get the joke, got to last week's email...hahaha

Love Y'all!
