Tee Time

 It's been an amazing week. Last Tuesday I took a plane to Palma where I received a covid test in the airport. My new companion is Elder Howes from South Jordan Utah. We are in the Palma 1 branch with hermana missionaries and we live in a 4 man piso with Elders in the Palma 2 branch. One of them is Elder Griffin who was my comp when we were in the MTC. It is fun to see how far we have come since then.

In Mallorca the restrictions are pretty tight. We can't meet with people we don't live with unless it's in the church. Which actually has turned out ok, because those we are teaching are willing to meet us there. The work here is going great and we were able to set baptismal dates with two of our amigos. This week we helped one of our amigos with his talk he gave in church this past Sunday. Also my companion and I did a Facebook live where we read Alma 36 and talked about the repentance process.
 

For pday this week Elder Howes was wanting to hit some golf balls. Being that Palma is a vacation destination there are several golf courses on the island. We were able to find one that let us hit a bucket of balls on their driving range. Maybe sometime in the future we can get a round of golf in. The first week in Palma has been a good one and I am certain it will only get better.

¡Tenga una buena semana!

Goodbye Messi, Hello Rafa

The last two weeks have flown by.  We had interviews with presidente which is always good. The work in this area has really taken off. We are continuing to teach quite a few people including Juan the man our amiga Yessica takes care of. We also received a reference this week named Rafael. We were able to have a video call with him and set a baptismal date for the 27 of February. We also did a facebook live this week with our amigo Erik and talked about Gifts in Moroni 10:8-19. 

Last night in Barcelona with the gang

streets of Girona

This week is transfers so we have been super busy organizing and buying everything. We also had to get everyone who is flying to the US flights changed because of travel restrictions through other countries. This week I went to Mataró to get my residency card, I am officially a Spaniard for another year. Then we drove to Girona to drop off a table and get a bunch of seats from the Elders there. It is a pretty city. We got lunch and ate in front of the cathedral that overlooks the whole city then drove back to Barcelona.  

The big news of the week is that I will also be leaving the offices this transfer. I have enjoyed my time here but am also ready for the next adventure. Although I am just a few miles from where Messi plays, we were never able to meet up. Don't feel too sorry for me though because I will be flying out to the island of Mallorca to the city of Palma. For the tennis fans reading this email, the island of Mallorca is where Rafa Nadel is from. Too bad I didn't bring my tennis racket, but I am sure he has one I can borrow. :) 

¡Tenga una buena semana!
