Hey Mom,
I loved hearing about your vacation. I love our vacations. They are so much fun! My favorite ones are the last minute ones where we just pack up our stuff and go. it doesn´t matter where. I just love being with my family!!!
Hey, guess who is in my Zone now...Elder Lundin. Fun huh. Do you remember in conference, the story about the guy who got called to go on another mission and when he was told about it he took off his hat, scratched his head and just said "alright". haha, i liked that story. but anyway, his great great, etc. grandson is also in my Zone and I think he is Elder Lundin´s Companion. Cool huh. He is this really tall kid. Really nice. Anyway, it was fun to finally meet Elder Lundin. Do you still email his mom?
Don´t worry about my package coming late. It was actually a blessing I think. Remember how grandma sent me a package in August and it never came, well this week was Semana Santa which is also a crazy time in Spain. I think if your package had gotten here last week it might have gotten lost with the Holiday. So really it´s a blessing. And now I still have something to look forward too. I am guessing it will get here around wednesday. I am way excited.
Hey, What have you heard about Madison? I am dying to hear about her first week in the MTC.
So this week was crazy, First off we had zone conference in Sevilla so we played football Thursday morning and that night we went and visited Maria Jose and Rebeca and Wilson. It was soooo good to see them. Maria Jose, I wish I could have taken a picture of her face when she saw me walk in. She was so excited. Then We went to see Rebeca and Wilson, Rebeca has a nice big pregnant belly now. She didn´t show when I left. That was fun to see. They are having a boy in august. Then we had a great zone conference Friday and afterwards we missed our train home so we stopped by cecilia. I am so glad we did because she was so happy to see us. I am so glad I got to see her again too.
After zone conference my comp wasn´t feeling very well and when we got on the train to go home we found out that a bunch of other missionaries werent´feeling so well either. The next morning we got a call from the Zone leaders and our District leader asking how we were feeling. My comp was still sick, so was one of our Zone leaders, the Mellors, the APs and The majority of the missionaries in both the San Fernando and Sevilla Zones. Everybody got food poisoning. There was only a small group of us who didn´t get sick. Isn´t that sad....Ok, i have to admit, i think it´s funny too. But it´s sad. Everyone was sick. We arent sure what it was that made everyone sick. It was either the Flan or the Garbanzo soup. I didn´t eat either of those things. So I was blessed. Do you know, i have not had to stay inside once for being sick. I have felt good my whole mission. Remember how my blessing said i wouldn´t? Well, there are about 20 missionaries in each Zone, there were around 40 people at that conference and I was one of the only ones who didn´t get sick. Isn´t that interesting. I feel very blessed.
Well, since My companion was sick and we couldn´t work i helped pepi paint all day. She has been wanting our help and We helped her one Saturday morning with the Elders but we didn´t want to keep waisting proselyting time and had been putting it off. So i took advantage of the time we had home to try and finish the work and literally painted for 11 hours taking a little lunch break and a little break when pepi fell and i think dislocated her shoulder. That was a fun experience, she is ok now. She definitely moans a lot though. They are very dramatic here. I felt bad for her though. It hurt her pretty good. But now the painting is almost done. We only have about an hours worth more to do. and that´s it. I really enjoyed it too. I didn´t get tired or anything. oh, but Sunday morning...I was exhausted. haha. I was so tired and i think between painting and football, every muscle was sore. But it was good. And i´m happy the work is almost done.
Well, I´ve gone over my hour of typing so I better run. I love you so much!!! Oh, tell James congratulations. I got a letter from him Friday telling me he´d turned in his papers. I was so psyched. I thought maybe you would know where he was going by today. I will be writing him back today. I can´t believe he´s got a mission call. I feel like he´s still a little kid. How are the other cousins doing? When do they turn in papers?I LOVE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!I hope you have a great week!!!!!!!!!I can´t wait to talk to you on mother´s day. Can you believe it´s already here???!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!
XOXOXOXO

I love you!! I loved your email. That will be so much fun to go to those two new temples with you. I didn´t know there were two! That is so cool. We are so blessed to have a temple so close to us. Our ward just took a temple trip to Madrid. Madrid is quite a ways away from San Fernando. but these members here are so strong. They had a bigger trip planned when elder Bednar came. they went to the temple on Monday. Stayed in the rooms they have there for a few days and just did temple work, then they drove strait from Madrid to Cadiz to hear Elder Bednar Speak. They didn´t even go home first. Isn´t that amazing. They are such good people and they get it. They get the gospel. I have learned so much from them about service and the importance of living the gospel.
This week was zone conference. It was really good but i think my favorite part were the testimonies at the end. Every zone conference president has the new and departing missionaries bear their testimonies. This transfer there are about 20 going home and half of them were at our zone conference. It was just a powerful meeting to hear these amazing elders bear their testimonies. I loved it. I´m sad though. I like those elders. all my favorites are going home. Our zone right now is awesome. we are like a big family. That is one of my favorite parts about the mission. The people you meet and the friendships you make. I got to visit 3 old families in Sevilla. Cecilla, Maria Jose, and Rebeca and Wilson. It was so good to see them. I love those people.Well I better run. I love you so much! I hope you have a great week. I can´t wait to hear from you next week. and I can´t wait to talk about our missions and the gospel together. Those will be fun days!!!!I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
