Hello my peeps!
Ok, so it's been a pretty good couple days. So to be honest not a lot happened, it’s been a pretty good couple of days though. I had an intercambio in Alcorcon with Elder Ferguson. That was good, we had trouble finding people to talk to though, because Madrid was hit with a huge thunderstorm. It kind of caught us off guard, and it was an intercambio, so I didn't have my raincoat. I borrowed one from Elder Mangum’s closet, but he's about half a foot shorter then me, so the jacket didn't really fit. Yeah, I got very wet. It was fun though; we had a good time.

Saturday we played futbol again. 2 of our investigators came,
which was great. Other then that we were just talking in the street all day.
One cool thing that happened is that we were able to meet with Alvaro and his
parents to get permission for him to be baptized. So that's good. I'll keep ya
updated on that.
Another crazy thing happened while I was in Alcorcon. I
noticed the elders had a scale, and I figured I'd weigh myself for the first
time since I left the MTC. Come to find out, I've lost 20 pounds. Kinda caught
me off guard. I thought it was broken at first; turns out it wasn't.
Ok, so that was it for this week. I love you all; sorry I didn't
write a lot this week. It’s only been a couple days after all. This week I
wanted to talk a little bit more about The Book of Mormon. I'm reading right
now in Alma about Captain Moroni, he was not only an amazing leader, but also a
man of great faith. I started thinking about that a little bit more this week.
He had his position as a military leader, but everything he did was centered in
Christ and helping others. Often times in our lives, we are so focused on the
day to day things that we leave Christ out of it, but when we look at Moroni’s
example, having Christ in our lives only strengthens us more. Never forget
Christ, when you’re stressed, when your tired, when your angry, or when your
depressed, always remember Him and strive to follow Him. If we do that, we, too,
can be firm in the faith, and true representatives of Christ.
I love you all, till next week
