One Week in Cartagena - Una Semana en Cartagena

Elder Read is now in his second week as District Leader in Cartagena and he says that his first week has been very good.  They met a young man called Adrian by "a miracle."  The Sisters met him on a bus and invited him to English classes - and he went!  When they spoke to him they discovered that he lived their area.  They were able to give him a short lesson after the English classes, taught him again the following day and invited him to be baptised on 1st June -which he accepted.  He says perhaps this is what he has been seeking all his life, which makes Elder Read and his companion Elder Sandelin very happy.

Yesterday, Elder Read went to Málaga yesterday, to the Mission Home for the training of District Leaders.  He says he was really looking forward to seeing his friends, the Mission President and his family, and he is really looking forward to Hermana Deere's cooking, although he makes a point of saying that he still prefers his mother's!  On Monday they went for a little trip with the Zone Leaders.

They have an investigator who is in the army, so he will be very keen to see the photos of Elder Read in the cadets, which I have just posted to him.

Elder Read and his companion came across this, which appears to be a dried out river, on their way to a house.

This is the map of a town that they have.

Rather interesting, with the reflection of a parrot!
Interesante con la reflexión de un papagayo!

The road they took to another house!

All the members of the Zone.  What a shame the sister is almost hiding Elder Read!
Todos los miembros de la Zona. Que pena que la hermana esta casi escondiendo Elder Read!

Esta semana de hecho a sido una semana muy buena. Encontramos un chico que se llama Adrian por milagro. Las Hermanas lo encontraron en el bús, le invitaron a las clases de inglés y vino. Hablamos con él y sucede que él vive en nuestra área. Hablamos con él después de las clases, le enseñamos muy brevamente y luego cedamos con él otra ves el día siguiente y fijamos una fecha bautismal para el 1 de Junio y aceptó. Él dice que quizás este es lo que él a estado buscando todo su vida. ¡TOMA YA! Estamos muy felices. 

Me voy a Málaga mañana (martes) a la casa de la misión para el capacitación de lideres de distrito. Estoy MUY animado por ver a mis amigos, al presidente y su familia y para comer la comida de la Hermana Deere. ¡ES RIQUÍSIMA!! ¡Pero no tan rica como la tuya mamá! :D Hoy vamos a ir con los lideres de zona para pasearnos un poco :) 

Tenemos un investigador que está en el ejercito entonces otra vez, por favor manda me las fotos de mi cuando estaba en los cadetes por favor! 

Las fotos son de: La zona, un mapa de un pueblo que tuvimos que usar tomando una foto para que podríamos encontrar la casa que estábamos buscando, y un camino que caminamos en ese pueblo para llegar a esa casa
