I'll be honest in saying the work is really slow. We have very few investigators and even fewer that we can see on a regular basis. We did find a new person this week named Maite. We went to visit an inactive family (The Family Sepulveda) and found that they're in the process of adopting Maite, the girl. We gave her a book of Mormon and after explaining a little bit, she said she would read it.

As for the rest of the week, a song I heard recently describes missionary work perfectly. I've experienced all of these things and much more so far:

Knocking doors in the rain

Knocking doors in the rain,
People think that we're insane
We wear ties and we can't chew gum
People think all these rules are dumb

What do you do?
This could be our only chance to talk to you
What do you do? What do you do?
Do what Christ would do.

Kids at the door say their parents are gone,
We see their dad out on the back lawn
They go and say that the Mormons are here
She sends back and they reappear,
Our mom says to tell you she's not home!

What do you do?
This could be our only chance to talk to you
What do you do? What do you do?
Do what Christ would do.

Knocking doors down in the 'hood
spreading love like the Savior would
We hear a shot, so we hit the floor,
We get chased by the dog next door
Mission life has never been so good

What do you do?
This could be our only chance to talk to you
What do you do? What do you do?
Do what Christ would do.

One last story before we go
Got a message that they need to know
They open up, they let us in
They invite us back again
The Spirit told them what we have is true
The Spirit told them what we have is true

What do you do?
This could be our only chance to talk to you
What do you do? What do you do?
Do what Christ would do...

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...
