So first off I´ll answer
some questions that you guys have.
from dad:
have you had some Crema
Catalana? (it is like a custard): I´m
not sure if I´ve had that yet, but the pastries are good here.
Have you had Jamon
Iberico? (they say it is about $100 a
pound): I have had Jamon here but it´s
the cheap kind you buy at the store, not the big huge pig legs that are just
hanging in the store windows.
have you eaten Pinchos or
Papas?: I´m not sure yet because members
don´t feed us here that much.
How about
montaditos?: I don´t know what that is
either.
all these dishes looked
great and simple to make i hope that had some. What has been your favorite dish
so far?: Everything. Tortilla de patata (or papas) on spanish
bread with jamon and tomatoes. also
south american dishes like rice and beans :)
We visited with a member who´s from mexico and had these really good
casadias. They were so good. Piella is good too. Pastries are so good here. We had this barbeque 2 weeks ago that was to
die for. =)
How are your cooking
skills so far? there is always pasta and
macaroni.: My cooking skills are above
par. I have made 2 apple pies this
transfer and it´s not that hard to make actually. In total I have made 5 apple pies! We make good food here in piso. I´ve made fried chicken and salads.
mom questions:
You saw Meet the Mormons.
Did you see that as a zone? We don't
have access to the copy yet, so I'm wondering if you missionaries are given a
copy as a missionary tool.: we saw meet
the mormons in a zone conference 2 weeks ago but no we don´t have it to show
our investigators.
What did you eat for
breakfast this morning? dinner
yesterday?: Breakfast normally consists
of granola with yogurt, yum, and
fruit. Lunch here is your dinner there if
a member or investigator feeds because in spain dinner is lunch. yesterday we had some bolivian bread at a
member’s home for noche de hogar.
What scripture spoke to
you this past week?: the change of the
lamanities when ammon and his brethren go out for 14 years and serve the
lord. I´m in alma in my scripture
reading right now. I know that this is a
true book. The spirit of God was with
Ammon when he spoke with the king Lamoni and with Aaron when he spoke with and
converted the lamanties into the anti-nephi-lehis. I love my english scriptures. If only i had the spanish enough to mark up
my spanish scriptures (which I am but not as much as my english) I love reading the book of mormon. There´s nothing like reading the book of
mormon from front to back. I don´t know
a lot, so I read the Book of Mormon to learn more of my identity of a child of
God.
What made you smile this
past week?: A fresh-baked apple pie and
the people you meet when you contact people.
THere was a guy we met yesterday in which we had to explain like 12
times we´re not jehova witnesses. Also, on
saturday we met a chinese man who knew some english because he taught english
in china. He told us to move to china
because we can earn more money there than here in spain. Also, the letters from mom, but i loved the
letter I got from grandpa and grandma; that put a big smile on my face.
What made you turn
prayerfully to the Lord?: What makes me
turn the lord is the humility I have for this work. If anyone says that their mission is easy
they are lying and had not had hard times or worked hard enough. I turn to the lord in every prayer as a
literal communication with my father in heaven.
I don´t rush through it. I take
time and think about what the lord has blessed me with and thank him for his
love and help. I ask for what I need and
after the prayer I take a minute to wait to feel the spirit to confirm the question
to my heart. I pray for the gift of
tongues. Prayer to me is a tool. I pray for the lord to bless us. Í pray to Heavenly Father who knows me
perfectly and knows what is going in my life right now and how he can help me.
well those are the
questions. I have a little time left but
so you all know, I´m still in Badalona with Elder Streiff for another
transfer. We had a lot of fun this past
transfer. We have 3 new baptismal fechas
and I think they will be good. I love
you all and pray that you´ll have a wonderful week. see ya next week.
