In the Bleak Midwinter

 Hello everyone, since its not been long since we last spoke, this may (hopefully) be a little shorter.
We ended off starting exchanges again, with me leading the area, also again. Elder Veater came to Barrio 2 with me, and apparently his famous. He's super good at singing so I believe it.
It went pretty well, even when contacting 60+ year old Spaniards. Pretty entertaining, but not much happened. Our friend also said I have a gringo accent, so now im grinding pronunciation again.
Zone conference was pretty good, pretty usual though. They also fed us twice which was a big bonus.
Not much happened Saturday besides a baptism that was supposed to be combined with ours but we had to push it back unfortunately. 
Sunday was pretty usual too, except we met with a member (I think?) from Mexico to bring the Sacrament to her. She then tried to give us what she insisted "wasn't tea," even after we pointed out the name of the whold drink was literally just "iced tea."
For a spiritual thought:
I don't really know, I got all my thoughts out in the last one. Something else about the Book of Mormon though is what my comp has been saying. It's really easy to see how small and short life really is, and that makes a celestial perspective so much more important. Also, even despite people, communities, and even nations changing, the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the blessings that come with it never change. 
That's pretty much it, not much happened in these 4 short days. Pdays are back to Mondays now so reach out until then!

Vid con Dios,

Hello everyone, it's been a long week. Why New Year's is a Pday and Christmas wasn't is beyond me, but we're here now. The next few weeks will be thursdays, too so everyone knows. We left off at ZL exchanges, and to be honest not much happened. We found a few people on the streets, brought a homeless member meat to cook in the church, and called a ton of people. Not quite as fun as ZL monkey, but still good. The next day was Christmas Eve, where we had a very odd, but fun dinner. From blasting Last Christmas during the toast to random english songs until 11:30, there was always something happening.  Christmas Day was looking good with all 3 meals, until only breakfast got confirmed. It was really good, but not quite the same. Christmas also brought completely empty streets. Contacting wasn't too fruitful this week, but by miracles alone we found some great people, including a family.  We also did some service this week, for a whole morning. It consisted of taking al...

Hello everyone, it has been an alright week. We've had a couple days where we couldn't really go finding because my comp got a crazy migraine and other things,  Even though we didn't find a lot of new people, we got back in contact with a lot of people that were busy during the last few weeks. So we had a ton of lessons, which is always great. This week was also the week of transfer news! I'm staying, but recieving an Elder Chivers. It's a little nerve-wracking to have to lead an area for at least a week, but it could be worse. It could have started tomorrow, but that crazy tragic recent train crash pushed back transfers a couple of days.  For a spiritual thought: I've been in Exodus recently and it's honestly really good! I would especially like to focus on the story of the burning bush. It begins with God saying "I AM THAT I AM" in response to Moses' questionings. This is a pretty intersting name that I find not a lot of people understand. Af...
