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!

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because...

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...
