Typical Spain

This week, everything has calmed down a lot. Just kidding. Moros and
Christianos is a holiday in Spain celebrating the freedom from the
Moors. They celebrate for a whole week 24/7... It's crazy! We
contacted a lot this week to unfortunately not much success. I learned
very quickly that missionary work is very tiring. I can sleep on
command now with ease.  Contacting is very different here in Spain.
Because most people live in Pisos (apartments) we do our best to have
someone that lives in there open the door for us. The conversation
usually goes like this, us: "It's the missionaries, can we come in and teach you
about Jesus?" Them:"No" us: "Can we teach your neighbors?" Them: "Fine
by us".

We had a zone meeting and ate at Papa Johns. I can't handle buffets...
I eat myself to complete body failure. After the zone meeting we went
to Orihuela to teach Alejandro. I love Alejandro, he is super
interested to learn but he asked way too many questions. So, I told him
that to have faith is not to have a perfect knowledge. Thank goodness
for chapter 32 in Alma. The language is a struggle at times. But it's
all good.

I miss the spirt of where I live. The light of Christ is close to gone
here in Spain. Some of my greatest times here are with the other
missionaries and loving the light that comes from them. We definitely,
as members of the church, stand out to everyone that sees us and we
need to be willing to stand out. I love you all!
