Yes, I remembered to tell her happy birthday. Now I´m done for the year. Then there´s just one slightly crazy lady who´ll have a birthday before I get home. I think it´s Grandma...I can´t remember.

The box as it is is probably fine. I´m surviving here without too many problems, so no worries.

Oh dear, that scares me that you´re all looking at gadgets. Remember, just two years ago you were all watching television with coaxial cables...now you´re probably looking at one of them new fancy cordless phones...

Yes, but what about the alignment, and the paint, and the running boards, and the paint, and the tires? And the paint? Heavens!

So, anyway, the week was pretty good. Busy, but good. Tuesday I made chicken tacos, finally. Dang chicken was expensive. As were the imported tortillas. But it was good, and I still have more chicken and tortillas to use.

So, I´m trying to think of things I´d need for Christmas, but there isn´t much. Apart from some socks, I suppose I could use a few more ties, a small bottle (try to clean out a bottle of something else to use) of Tex Joy, some M&Ms (Peanut and Peanut Butter), some peanut butter, eh...I´m not coming up with many ideas here. I don´t need any books or anything, I´m good on music, and I really don´t need any clothes. Just throw in some good prepackaged American food and a few random trinkets and that´ll be good. And the cat, of course.

Address to send it to would be
C/Calatrava 10-12 bajos
08017 Barcelona
Spain

Then I´ll get it no matter where I´m at.

We´re busy teaching a lot of people at the moment, which is always welcome. Not having people to teach is not fun. Now we´ve just got to baptise the people that we´re teaching, and it´ll be perfect.

We had a good priesthood lesson yesterday. Thankfully they had a good member teaching it, as the last two lessons have been on the Second Coming, and the teachers weren´t prepared, so the class was just one big ¨Oh, we´ll I heard that we´ll be able to swim in lava...¨...etc. But the class was good. At one point they put the men and women together and had us stand outside of the doors, calling people in to live during the Millenium. Thankfully, our investigator Carlos was called in, and they called in his wife and mother in law. There was a big gap between them, and he said afterwards that he was thinking ¨What if this was real, and my wife wasn´t here?¨. We like it when investigators have experiences like that. They tend to keep progressing.

This week, we´ll be doing intercambios with the Alcoy elders again, so I´m dragging Elder Martherus here (I don´t have to travel, I´m the district leader!) and sending my companion there.

It´ll be a slower week with the members, since a good chunk of the ones that help us are going on the temple trip, and they´ll be back very late. But things should turn out alright.

Today I´ll be making spaghetti, or maybe chicken. It depends on how I feel.

I hope you all have a good week.

Bradley.
