Hey yall,

This week has been a whopper. We got into our groove with the new cambios and now know our companions pretty well. Elder May left and now works in Talcahuano, and his replacement is Elder Brann. Elder Jeffrey Brann comes from England. He was born there and lives there now, but most of his life he has lived in Idaho. He's a good guy and is a master with a Rubix cube and flute. He uses the rubix cube to grab the attention of those dumb kids in the street who call us out. He pulls that out, starts putting into order and they automatically start paying attention while we explain how the cube is like our life and we need Jesus Christ to know how to put it in order between going to work, school and having a social life. It's really awesome.
As for the other cambios, Elder Camargo arrived Tuesday night to be Elder Gonzalez's companion. He is direct from the MTC in Santiago and is originally from Bogota Colombia. He's a good guy and has the body build of Curtis. They are working well together and we'll see how this cambio goes with them.

We had a miracle the other day while knocking doors. I don't remember if I ever mentioned a lady we met once who's niece lives in Utah. However, we knocked doors again the other day and ran into her again, just by chance. We had already had a nice conversation with her before and she let us in. We shared the message of the restoration with her and she seemed to like it. It was a miracle because I had completely forgotten about her because I didn't think she would progress if we taught her. So, we were humbled and now were going to share everything with her.

I received a nice surprise yesterday at Church. The Primary has been singing songs in Sacrament Meeting lately, and I played the piano for them(Well, I played some notes that made them feel comfortable). So yesterday, they wrote me thank you notes and I got a whole stack of them, one from Each kid. :) It made my day.

At last Royer is getting baptized! We went over to his house on Wednesday and let him see the baptismal interview questions. He decided to get baptized the 20th! Yay! We're beyond excited. :)

That's about it for this week. Cuidense y no se olviden de su buenísmo redentor!

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I like Happiness

Dear Readers, Happiness is great, don't you agree? Just the other night, it was a very frustrating and confusing night out with the Ensemble yet again, but I came back to my friend's house to hang out and just decided that being happy was more important than giving in to my gossiping desires. The rest of the night was just brilliant after I decided that. This morning was another example: I woke up late and was again frustrated. What did I do? I went to school and decided to be happy. The rest of the day went great! Be Happy! :D

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
