It Smells Like Ocean

Monday, June 22nd, 2014

Ah I dont have time like AT ALL.. but you guys.. 

I am living in a movie. I am living my dream! I have been sent up the north.. to VIGO! One of the prettiest places I have ever set my eyes on.

I wish I could give you the more details.. next week for sure.

I took an 8 hour train ride up and I felt like I was going to hogwarts/ narnia.. oh MY it was the prettiest thing.. I was dying

We are RIGHT next to the ocean (how I have missed living next the ocean!)

We are RIGHT above Portugal.

You eat tons and tons of spanish food.. like octopus! Dad I know how jelly you are!

I have officially successfully avoided the madrid summer 2 times in a row! The weather is perfect up here. Not a more perfect time to come to the beautiful land of the north i am telling you. Ha! I dont know how I am so lucky

God is so good

Missions are amazing

Another thing I learned this week is that MISSIONS BREAK HEARTS

But I would rather have my heart break than feel nothing at all

I can't tell you all how many times I feel my heart break.. Leaving Torrejon was so hard. Definitely a different hard.  But I felt so right about it. I just feel an overwhelming love for the people there. They are so so so amazing and have changed my life and strengthened my testimony. They have truly been my family. Ah really the best people ever.

Here is my address.. fyi probably don't send stuff to the mission home anymore.. it takes FOREVER for it to get to the north I have heard.

Rúa Pizarro 47, 2ºe 

Vigo 36204 

Pontevedra

SPAIN

I am in love with this city. And a little nervous at the same time. We are starting from scratch.. why have I had to do this my entire mission ha?? All you hard spaniard hearts out there...bring it! 

My companion and I are planning on changing the ATTITUDE up here

They say it rains a lot but that's okay. We are are going to throw our heads back and LOVE it.

...okay that was cheesy but I cant tell you how much in heaven I am!

I love my life and I love you all so so much!

Remember life is all about your attitude. We make things how they are! It's so hard leaving Torrejón but I know that God has so much even BETTER for me here! That's how life is.. don't look back and don't look too forward.  Live in the now and know that God does good things for you every day!
