We did have an earthquake...but we did not feel it! Some Elders in our district felt it and called to see if we had felt it. Sadly we had not. Then President called to make sure we were all safe. We were kind of disappointed. Possibly the only earthquake I will ever be a part of!
No baptism for now, sadly enough. There needs to be a little more preparation but we are praying that it will happen in the next couple weeks. I am still praying that we will find a family! We need a family!
The work is good. We had quite a few investigators progressing but then they have stopped progressing. It is sad especially when you work with people so much but we are again on the hunt for new people to teach. I am becoming a contacting machine and I love it. Bring on the eye contact. Weakness become Strength!
Paella is rice but it has some kind of sauce that makes it yellow...then it has chicken and some of these red peppers that are not really peppers but I can not remember their name. The President of our Branch is known far and wide for his paella. It is delicious!
Well it is the end of another transfer...and Hna. Reed got transferred. I am very sad because we only got one transferred together. She was amazing and we had a great time together. We had to buy her a new suitcase because her other one broke(Benidorm is very hard on suitcases). So we bought another at a chino just wanting it to make it to Barcelona...but it did not even make it to the bus station in Benidorm. A 15 minute walk turned into a hour long battle of me dragging the suitcase without wheels. It was hilarious. In Woman Vs. Suitcase, Woman always wins!
The other news is that I am now Senior companion. President Hinckley called and said 'Are you ready for your new assignment as Senior companion?' and I said 'NO' and He said 'Well you better be by Tuesday!' Oh President Hinckley, he is such a jokester.
I am a little stressed and nervous, I have not really slept the last couple of nights. Mostly because I do not know Benidorm as well as I would like to, or all the members and such. But my new companion is an incredible missionary. She is from Armenia but has lived in Spain for 13 years, so she speaks Spanish perfectly, which is a blessing! Her name is Hna. Nabanlygan.....yeah I can´t spell it...sorry.
Keep praying for a family. I know they are out there just waiting for us to find them!
I love you a million suitcases with wheels(honestly one of the best inventions of my life, I decided)
Love, Melissa the Beautiful
