Hey everyone!

Things here in Cádiz have been going really well! We are having a good time and keeping super busy. This past week we had a couple new things happen. On Thursday, we met with the ward council and talked with them about Light the World. We started brainstorming ideas and stuff that we could do. I'm super excited to see how it goes. Other than the main service project, it looks like we are going to try and do a ward choir and go to a couple public places to sing Christmas songs. Other than that, the ward missionaries and our companionship are going to be trying to visit as many of the families as we can and share with them the calendar and the family home evening activity. We are also organizing a big Christmas dinner, which will be exciting. 

Another day, we went and did service for an older family who are super great. We are helping them build a garage. It went pretty well; we made a lot of progress. There is a man that always comes and works with us named Vicente who is super great. He is a member but hasn’t been to church for a really long time. He is from the countryside and is so hard to understand, ha, but he is super great. He is 80 years old but is such a hard worker. We were given gloves to work with, but he said, “No. A cat with gloves on can't catch the rat.” He is super funny. 

Other than that, we were able to meet a couple new people this week. One is Angelic and is a friend of a less active member we have been meeting with. She is from Colombia and is super nice. I'm excited to keep meeting with her. Another is named Johanz, he is also pretty new here. He is from Peru. We met him talking in the street. He is a super nice guy and is going through a pretty rough time right now. 

I hope you all have a great week talk with you next time!
