Hey Family!!!

I JUST LOVE YOU GUYS OK!!!!!!!!!!!

I Got a little email from Madi this week. It was fun to hear from her. Do you think you can forward her weekly email to me? I would love to read those. How is she doing? Is she just loving the MTC? Is her companion nice?

Dad, I loved your email this week. They are always so uplifting. It´s true, This is the Lords work. He sustains us and I really liked something President Eyring said once. He said he had a couple friends who were called as stake presidents, he said he saw that they were lifted up to their calling or something like that. I am so grateful for that. Who the Lord calls he qualifies and helps.

And don´t worry, we´ll still be having family night reading mission emails from Madi. It will be so much fun to be a part of that.

I cannot believe Hayley is graduating from high school! That is so crazy. She is going to be a college girl. Hayley, I love you girl!! Mom, I didn't get your email this week. I am thinking it probably didn't send, so if there is anything fun you wrote in there, you´ll have to write it again, or just resend it or something. Don´t stress about it though. I don´t want you to feel bad I didn't get it.

Did I tell you guys there is a new elder here who reminds me so much of Dallin? I feel like Dallin is with me. Hey Dallin, how are you liking Spain? Ha ha. Seriously, it´s so funny. He has red hair, which he doesn't like really short, he has a similar personality, and likes making videos. I love him, just because he reminds me of my bro. He is brand new in the mission.

So I found a way into the little kids hearts. All I have to do is tell them what my name means and they love it!! They wrinkle up their little noses and just laugh. It´s so cute. Then they all want to know what Swenson means and are disappointed when it doesn't mean anything. This week we are doing a lot of finding again. We did have one cool experience though. We knocked on a door and this lady answered. She said she wasn't interested but Hermana Swenson asked what she believed in and she told us she believed in God and Christ but not religion because it has too much power and should give to the poor, help people, etc. We told her about how we follow the S aviors example. no one receives money or has power over others. We serve and help the poor. You know what was really interesting? The spirit was there really strong. We weren't talking about the atonement or Joseph Smith, but the spirit testifies of truth. And it was so cool, that even talking about something like that, the spirit was there testifying.

We also got stopped by a woman on the street who has had missionaries before. She wanted us to come meet her husband and they want us to come by another day too. So that was a nice little referral that just fell into our laps. We are excited to teach them but nervous because this woman does not stop talking. It is a common thing in Spain. They talk and talk and talk and talk and don´t stop even when you tell them you have to go. Ha ha. So hopefully we will be teaching some new people this week and finding even more.

Sorry, I feel like this email is really short but I am out of time. I love you guys so much!!!!!!!! You are such a great family. Thank you so much for all of your prayers and Love and support and excitement for me. Thanks for your uplifting emails and faith. I just love you so much. I hope you all have an awesome week!! I can´t wait to hear from you next week!!!
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"TAKE...LUCK"

Love,
Morgan
