Hi there
Everyone!!
Just in case
not everyone has heard. I am in my first area!!! I am in Nerja which is a town
right on the coast. We have a lot of area too around Nerja. I learned that coast
towns usually also have a town inland that has the same name. like Torrox costa
and Torrox pueblo. So when someone says that they live in Torrox you need to ask
if it is costa or pueblo. Really interesting and can be confusing sometimes when
you talk to people.
It is really
beautiful. It is called the bridge to Europe or something like that. I love it
all. The people here are amazing. Most are really nice to you until you start
talking about religion. The branch here has like 20 members. Many of them are
from Paraguay. and all related. They are a big family and on Sunday I was
welcomed into the branch with having the opportunity to bare my testimony all in
Spanish of course. It was short but my companion said that I did a good job. We
have a small teaching pool right now but that is because my companion has been
in Málaga for the past week waiting for me. We have a really big pool of
contacts to go through this week so we are hoping to increase our teaching
pool.
The night that
I arrived here we had a cita (appointment) with a recent convert and some
members. The members are hilarious and really fun to get to know. The recent
convert is great!! He has decided to receive the priesthood next week. I'm
really excited for him. The branch mission leader (who is from England) said
that he would go through the sacrament prayer with him the next week so he will
be prepared to participate in the sacrament. The members here are
amazing.
We get around
by walking and public transportation. Yay for the bus!! I am doing okay with the
motion sickness stuff. My companion, Hermana Gibson, is very nice and
understanding. We just sit and talk and try to study and such before hand so I
don't have to read while on the bus. I hope the Lord understands and we will be
working on a way to use our time for wisely on that front.
Okay I guess it
is time because everyone I know is dying. MY COMPANION IS AMAZING!! We have been
working very hard. She is from Kentucky/Texas. She is really helping me out. She
is great at Spanish and is very patient with me about mine. We share lesson
time. She of course talks more but she gives me opportunity to share my
testimony and scriptures. My Spanish is getting better each day but I will be
working on it continually for the rest of my mission. Can't figure out photos
yet but I will and send some soon.
Love you
all!!
