Food - Comida
All is well with Elder Read, although he says they have had a somewhat difficult week in the sense that they haven't had the number of discussions they were hoping for. However, they did as many as they possibly could under the circumstances.
The problem was that his companion Elder Hampel and the companion of Elder Avilés, one of the Elders in the flat, were in Málaga for the week sorting out their visas,so Elder Read and Elder Avilés worked together and combined their areas for three days. Elder Read says honestly that it was thanks to God that they were able to work really hard. The two areas are far apart from each other so they were spending all day rushing from one side of the city to the other to be on time for appointments. However, it was really enjoyable and they felt the Spirit enormously. He's taken a lot of videos and hopes to send them to us, but sometimes it doesn't work. If it does, I'll put some on Facebook.
They've got two baptism dates - for Sunday 29th September - because the investigators couldn't go to Church last Sunday because of work. Their names are Oscar and Sadu, both come from Cameroon and are really excellent.
Dessert and squash for hungry missionaries

On Monday - P-Day - they were going to play games at the chapel, things like ninja and EFY games. It was going to be really enjoyable although Elder Read hoped they would have time to get back to the flat for a rest - as he's soooooo tired!
He says it's strange to think that in just over a transfer and a half he'll have been on his mission for a whole year!! How crazy! He absolutely loves his mission and every day he learns something about himself, the Lord and also His work. He bears testimony that this is the Lord's work and that nothing can either stop or destroy it.
Todo está bien por aquí. Tuvimos una semana un poco difícil en el sentido que no recibimos el numero de lecciones que queríamos pero nos sentimos bien :) Hemos hecho lo mas posible entonces esta semana va a ser diferente seguro :)
Mi compañero y el compañero de Elder Avilés (mi compañero de piso) estuvieron en Málaga esta semana para hacer sus cosas de residencia. Entonces Elder Avilés y yo nos juntamos y honestamente gracias al Señor trabajamos MUY duro. Nuestras áreas se juntaron por tres días. Lo que pasa es que nuestras áreas están muy lejos del uno al otro. Entonces estuvimos literalmente corriendo casi toda la cuidad para llegar a citas a tiempo. Era muy divertido y sentimos el espíritu un montón. He estado grabando un montón de vídeos y espero que los puedo mandar a ustedes, aveces no funciona.
Bueno, tenemos dos fechas bautismales. El plan es que se pueden bautizar el 29 de este mes, porque no pudieron venir a la capilla ayer por causa del trabajo. Entonces vamos a bautizar el domingo 29 de este mes. Se llama Oscar y Sadu, son de Camerún y muy buenos :)
Bueno, hoy vamos a ir a jugar juegos en la capilla, cosas como ninja y juegos de la efy. Va a ser muy divertido. Pero también queremos ir al piso y tomar una siesta porque estamos cansadísimos.
Es muy raro pensar que en un traslado y medio cumpliré un año en la misión. ¡Que loco! Me encanta la misión y cada día aprendo algo mas de mí, el señor y Su obra. Sé que esta es la obra del señor y ninguna cosa lo va a parar ni destruir.
NOW, THE TSUNAMI: 37 MISSIONARIES ARRIVED, AND NONE DEPARTED.
They arrived by train at 10am,
AHORA, EL TSUNAMI: 37 MISIONEROS LLEGARON Y NADIE SALIERON.
Llegaron por tren a las 10am.
It appears Elder Schoell and Elder Aviles are headed to the Mediterranean Sea, but actually they will be in the Cartagena 3 Ward.
The two photos above are from 28th July when Elder Read went to Málaga to collect Elder Hampel and Elder Avilés went to collect his companion Elder Schoell. With recent changes, these two companionships are in the same flat, and Elder Read and Elder Avilés spent last week together while their companions were in Málaga.
Las dos fotos en arriba son de 28 de julio cuando Elder Read fue a Málaga para recoger su compañero Elder Hampel y Elder Avilés recogió su compañero Elder Schoell. Con cambios recientes los dos compañerismos están en lo mismo piso, y Elder Read y Elder Avilés pasaron la semana pasada juntos cuando sus compañeros estaban en Málaga.
