Last week Emily went to Segovia and had time to only send a few lines... this week she started a decent letter and the computer stopped working so she was only able to send half of it. She was able to send pictures.

This week has been crazzzzy. I swear though I really just blink and then its p-day again and I am here e-mailing. (by the way we went to a different locutorio today and the key board is pretty weird and slow so sorry if the e-mail isn´t long....patience.) Time is flyin’! I can´t believe that conference is in just a few weeks and more than anything I can´t believe that Sister Carroll’s 12 weeks of training are almost up. Transfers are next week so it will be interesting! I have not a clue of what is going to happen. We could easily stay together for another, seeing that we opened this area. Time will tell!
This week I went on an intercambio with Hermana Mather’s companion – Hermana Sanchez who is this really cool Spaniard! and I LOVED it. Holy cow you all have no idea how bad I would love to have a native companion. I would love it so that I can really just seal the deal with my Spanish. We will see. The only thing I would not want to do EVER would be train a native. That’s got to be weird!
Today we went to a gym that we got free pass to and all I need to say is that I am weak! I am the typical missionary - WEAK. We did this cycling class and I about died. It was pretty embarrassing as I looked around the room and was weakest one. ha.... yeah.
Randomly, I got a call from President Jackson this week... For some reason every time he calls it stresses me out. I am always just like.. I DIDN´T DO ANYTHING! I am obedient! haha... Anyway, so I picked up and he asked what we had planned that night. (phew) I told him what we had and was just so grateful that we actually had some good stuff planned.... So yeah, he then said that Sister Jackson and I are coming to Torrejon tonight and we would love to come with you to your lessons! SCARY. So intimidating so have them there watching my companion and me teach! But it ended up being a sweet lesson with cute M. (who will be baptized on Saturday by the way!) We taught him the word of wisdom and I just have to say that I LOVE HIM. He is just the greatest little investigator there ever was. We felt the Spirit really strongly and it was good lesson. I was grateful to have the president and his wife with us! They are the greatest and M. sure loved meeting them.
The work is going great. I wish I had more time to tell you every detail! But I. is trying to quit drinking. Fun fact: he is actually Muslim. How cool would it be to baptize him? IT’S GONNA happen. He has a baptismal date and if he can get off alcohol and if we can get permission, he will be baptized. It really is the craziest experience I have had on my mission.. but it’s cool and I love it. Pray for him! He is from Ghana and has been in the military for almost his whole life. I can´t even begin to imagine how different my life has been from his. But he is son of God and is ready to change his life. His story really makes me sad though.
ELI AND GIFTY...Little shout how to you both.. I am learning some things to say in the language Twee. Ha, I love having cousins from Ghana! There are SO many Africans here. It’s great...Eli and Gifty are Emily's cousin's who are adopted from Ghana.
Last p-day we went to Segovia and it felt like a dream! I actually felt like I was in Spain that day.
