The Two Rs - Los Dos Rs

Apologies for showing this photo again, but this is Elder Read with his new companion, Elder Rodriguez.  In fact, they will be companions from Wednesday, when Elder Wright is transferred to Valdepeñas en Castilleja de la Mancha and Elder Rodriguez, who is Spanish, comes from Alicante.

Elder Read says he's excited about receiving a new companion, but a little nervous about finding his way around the city with him as he still doesn't know everywhere.  

I reported last week that Elder Read's bag was damaged, but he now reports that the wonderful Sister María has repaired it for him.  She  has a husband but he´s not a member. They´re teaching their daughter at the moment. One day the whole family will get baptised.

You will remember that I reported last week about the service they were able to offer to a woman they found in a state of shock in the street, and to whom Elder Read lent his jacket.  He says she´s homeless so she doesn't have any contact details. And he doesn´t want his jacket back either. She needs it a lot more than he does.

Hopefully he'll be able to get a new suit from Primark.

The Mission told the elders and sisters last week that from this week they would have an hour and a half for writing and reading e-mails, and that they would also be able to send e-mails to friends - and vice versa.  However, unfortunately he left the e-mail addresses in his flat!  so he apologises.  

They are spending this P-day in Sevilla as the elders there invited them to spend it with them. It's been raining again both in Huelva and Sevilla - just like home!  But unlike home there's a lot of sun and they're in short sleeves.

He sends his love to everyone.

Disculpas por mostrar de nuevo la foto arriba, pero es Élder Read con su compañero nuevo, Elder Rodriguez.  Escribe Élder Read:

Élder Wright se va a Valdepeñas en Castilleja de la Mancha. Voy a recibir mi nuevo compañero el Miércoles. Él se llama Élder Rodríguez. Es Español. El acaba de servir en Alicante. No te voy a engañar estoy animado para recibir un nuevo compañero, pero también estoy un poco nervioso porque todavía me cuesta un poco encontrar los lugares y sitios de la cuidad. Pero bueno, adelante.
La semana pasada nos dijeron que ya tenemos una hora y media para escribir y ya podemos escribir a amigos.  Iba a escribir a ellos hoy pero me olvidé la lista de sus correos en piso.
Ahora mismos estoy en Sevilla. Los otros Élderes nos invitaron a pasar Pday con ellos. A estado lloviendo otra ves en Huelva. Y en Sevilla. Pero hoy hace mucho sol. Estamos en manga corta.


La hermana María del Mar me arregló la bolsa para mi.

Saludos y cariños a todos!
