Photo Op.


Alright, well we can now add pictures. I will only send one today so that you can all appreciate it a lot. (This were Scott's baptisms that happened on his birthday. He thought it was the best gift.)

So to start with the happy thoughts, when we were in Madrid, my companion was almost pick-pocketed. I turned around just in time to see the guy pull his hands out of his backpack. We we on a down escalator and the guy was behind him. It was pretty exciting. My companion only had a triple, a bible, and his camera in his backpack. I thought it would have been funny if he would have just had scriptures. Then we could have said, "No, you don't have to steal, in fact we would like to come by and give you one of these, and maybe some other things too." But luckily the guy didn't have time to grab the camera. Quite exciting. The night before zone conference we were staying with other Elders in Madrid and 4 guys in a room late at night always equals trouble. We stayed up till 3 talking and then got up at 6:45 to go to zone conference. It actually wasn't that hard to stay awake for the 7 hour conference, but the temple trip after hurt a little bit. Ha, ha.

On Thursday, we were in a little town and the two appointments we had fell through. We had 3 hours till the bus came so we went to the super market and saw really cheap energy drinks and decided to each buy 2. We then had a chugging contest and I "pwned" him. It was way funny though.

Friday, we started cleaning our piso, and we started with the shower. We decided to start with the drain since it was hardly draining and yeah, it was pretty disgusting. But now our shower is super clean! Saturday was good, I learned how to do a Rubix Cube. And now, the student is faster than then teacher! Ha, ha.

Walter, the guy who is going to be baptized this Sunday, was like super awesome. People from Peru are just way humble. He loves learning about commandments. It's good, just weird. Sunday we went to some members house to eat with them and hang out. In this town there are about 10 South Americans, and the rest are true Spaniards. Needless to say, when we tried to contact, we got nothing more than door slams and no even bothers. Pretty legit missionary work. On Monday, I was walking down the stairs of our piso, there are members that live right below us and we are way good friends, so I jumped down the last stair and yelled "RAWR" kind of as a joke. Anyway, it wasn't one of the members, but a 10 year old kid who takes piano lessons. I was like, "Oh, you aren't Josue. Huh? I thought you were Josue." I tried to make it not awkward but nonetheless, that kid will always think we are freaks. So yeah, the work continues!

But yeah, baptism this Sunday. Then on Monday we go to Madrid to be transferred! Pretty legit. I about laughed my head off when I heard Richard is branch president and district leader. Great thing about the number of missionaries going down here is that our mission in general is a lot older so president wants to give all the leadership positions to old missionaries. Silly Resistencia missionaries. Anyway, going to go do the whole Toledo Tourist walk and take a bunch of pictures. Love the new camera, and the glasses. Thanks mom. Stay pretty.
