¡Hola!
So I left out SOOO many things from my last email because I ran out of time so I´ll try to be more concise and catch up on the things I missed. First of all, thank you everyone for the letters that you put in my suitcase! That was so very sweet and I didn´t find them until I was unpacking at the CCM so it was just perfect timing.
Now I have to tell you about the temple! I´ve been through three times since I've gotten to Spain and they are each beautiful experiences that I will never forget! It is an amazing place! The temple is literally a stone´s throw from the CCM and I can see it every time I walk past a window. The CCM is on temple grounds so I am pretty much on temple grounds 24/7 and you can definitely feel a difference. I feel so much peace and love, it will definitely be hard when I leave for Malaga.

Also I can´t believe I couldn’t talk about the park last week! Holy moly, it’s been an amazing experience! Every Saturday we take the metro to Parque del Retiro in Madrid. We split up into different companionships (the first time I was paired up with a sister from France who speaks 5 languages! FIVE! Needless to say, I didn´t really talk that much at the park) to go talk to people about the gospel. Last Saturday was a way better experience than last week anyway so I´ll just focus on that one J I was paired up with Sister Mendes from Cabo Verde, who is going to Portugal on her mission. She only speaks Portuguese soooo I was a little nervous about being the dominant speaker when we approached people but I was excited to have the chance to talk more. We talked to many people, most of them just shooed us away but we were able to give away four copies of the Book of Mormon and 3 referrals! Sister Mendes was incredible and even helped me when I didn’t understand what people were saying. It was amazing to get the chance to bear my testimony IN SPANISH and talk about the importance and blessing the Book of Mormon is. We even found people who spoke English and Portuguese so we even got to talk in our own language which is soooooo nice! Haha. After we talk to people for about two hours we sing hymns in the park. Its an incredible experience and has strengthened my testimony as well as have a greater desire to share the gospel with everyone I meet!
Also, I´d like to mention that I play fútbol every day IN SPAIN with SPANISH strangers in a SPANISH park haha. It´s a lot of fun even though I´m absolutely horrible at it haha.
I have lots of pictures from last P-day from when I went to the Prado Museum so once I get the SD cards I´ll send them to ya!
I love you all and I hope you know how much I love my Savior and that I want to serve Him as best as I can! He´s already converted one person on this mission and its me! I love this gospel and I love Spain, even though the like gets frustrating sometimes! I love you!
HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!
