Glad I could be of service. Yes, I still can be my sarcastic self. I charge by the hour.

We´re allegedly having interviews on Friday. I don´t trust the office, though.

Photos...76 is a drinking fountain in Spain. 77 is a place where I´ve spent half my mission...the bus stop. 80 and 81 are pictures of a little town, Vilallonga del Camp, which is just one main street. 87 is Gerard and I, 99 is how not to have the wall decorated, etc.

Yes, I got the envelope on Friday. It made it. Transfer calls are Saturday night this time around, but if I go, I might write on Monday or Tuesday. Depends on how they want me to move out, and where.

I haven´t heard anything about the box...I need to call up the office and find out what´s going on with it. It might be lost in the depths of the Spanish Inquisition.

Well, I don´t have any visits scheduled during today, thankfully. So I´ll be able to get done my huge to-do list. End of the list is peachie o´s...

The african branch will take time. It´d be a while, though we´re getting more to come in. But we need some more Melchizedek Priesthood holders first.

I think that´s a concern of a lot of mission presidents. Quite a few sometimes don´t get anything more than a quick iPhone email saying ¨Sorry, we´re so busy. We´ll write you next week.¨

(This above was Bradley's answer when I questioned why President Hinckley stressed the importance of emailing your missionary child...I CANNOT believe...parents don't do this....so sad!!!   You can read President Hinckley's letter prior to this letter)

We eat fine. Sometimes we eat with people, some times we eat in house.

Now, remind Brandon that driving isn´t like Gran Turismo 3. You don´t bounce the car off the wall to make the turn without hitting the brakes...oh dear, I hope the insurance premiums are paid up.

We don´t get a ton of rain. A lot of times it just kinda drizzles at night, then we wake up with wet streets and fog.

Now, what I would like are, occasionally, a few sports sections sent in the mail. I don´t think they can tax it, but I would kinda like a short update once in a while. 

We´ll actually be having a surprise baptism this Saturday if things don´t fall through. It´s a long story: Susana, from the Dominican Republic, was baptised 20 years ago, but she was evidently never confirmed, making the baptism invalid. We´ve had both the Bishop and the central offices in Madrid dig for the records, but they don´t seem to exist, and she doesn´t remember anything about being confirmed. So she´s decided on this Saturday, as some time in the following weeks she´s taking off for the US to be there for a while. #95, the lady to the left.


That´s all for this week.Bradley
