Speaking of pictures, I finally got a computer with a working card slot, so there are some that I´ll be uploading in a bit.
3677 is the Mysterious Man from St. George making a return appearance. That was last transfer at the leadership training conference. The weird eye in the background is Elder Estrada trying to be funny. 3708 is my corrent companion (he doesn´t care much for pictures) and 3711 is me with one of our members from England (he left the next day after the picture was taken. 3709 was at his farewell party.
It sounds like your week was nice and fun. At least Kono puked in Dad´s truck and not mine.
They rarely share buildings here in Spain. Usually it´s one ward/branch per building. The only ones that seem to share are the stake centers.
We´re looking at having a baptism the 15th of October, if all goes well. President wants us to get the Bishop´s opinion on the situation-I doubt he´ll have a problem. Like he said, he doesn´t have the final say, but he wants to see what the Bishop thinks. She´s been wanting to get baptised for a while(years), and it´ll be a special case if it does happen. It´ll be a big support for her daughter who was baptised in June.
That´s not a reason not to baptise, but if she´s young...it´s not a sin to have those feelings of opposite-sex attraction, it´s just wrong to act on them. We´ve got members who have those attractions, they just work with them and don´t give into them. She´d just have to have a good interview, and if anything had happened, have an interview with the Mission President before getting baptised.
I could use some toothbrushes. But as for the rest of supplies...how about some Chicken Taco seasoning. I can make some chicken without too much difficulty (have an extremely nice kitchen), and I can get some kinda sour cream stuff...yes, that seasoning would be wonderful.
But I´ve already committed to watch all the Star Trek films with Larry...I don´t know if I´ll have the time...dearie me...
It was an interesting week. Thursday night I met up with Elder Abplanalp (who´s in Catarroja right now) and we took a train to Barcelona. Spent the night in the office with some of the Zone Leaders, then in the morning the Hinckley´s drove us over to the Barç 2 chapel.
Our little conference was wonderful. They´re counting on us to do a lot, though. We´ve got to the the mission on a much higher level to start baptising 50 a month from here on out. President would like to see the mission baptise 600 during the next year, and then just continue to climb.
That ended, and the Valencia zone leaders, Elder Abplanalp and I all rode back on the train, with seats facing eachother. It was one of those weird moments-plotting on a train going 140MPH while the sun is going down. Then we had the usual deep doctrine talk, and met up with our companions. Got back home around 11PM.
Saturday and Sunday we had general conference. Ended up watching two of our four sessions in Spanish. It´s not hard for me to understand, but it was for my companion. I just downloaded the conference now to a flash drive and we´ll listen to it in the house so he´ll be able to review the sessions he kinda missed, and we´ll both be able to hear the last session.
Our week this week should be okay. We have no food because it´s another festival in Gandia today, so all the stores are closed. Sad face...
Hope you have a good week.
Love,
Bradley.
