The "cold" has finally arrived in Sevilla El "frío" ha empezado aquí en Sevilla.

Elderes Avilés, Metcalf and Read
Elder Read wants to know how we have been getting on with placing Books of Mormon.Would anyone like to reply? He's pleased to have received our parcel and he can report that as usual all is well.  Elder Avilés will be transferred on Wednesday to Albacete in Castilla-La Mancha, where the language Castilian started. 
Elder Read says that this week they have to focus on finding.  Derek, the Baptist missionary, has sent then a message saying that the leaders of his church have forbidden Elders Read and Metcalf to meet with them, which is hardly surprising, but it makes Elder Read and his companion rather sad.  However, the other day they received a message from Brandon, another Baptist missionary, saying that he wants to meet with the LDS missionaries before he finishes his mission, and they hope they'll have the opportunity this week.

The cold has finally arrived in Seville - or what they call cold! They've been used to a temperature of about 38 degrees and now it's fallen to between 12 and 18 degrees.  He'll certainly feel the cold here when he returns home in a year's time! He says that temperature is very cold for him!  
The ward is really lovely. On Sunday they returned to the flat absolutely exhausted: physically, spiritually and mentally. We always pray that they'll have this strength.  His knees are fine despite the slight problem he had a week ago.
Elderes Metcalf, Avilés, Read, Sandelin and Crespo
Yesterday they were going to a Family Home Evening with a family in their ward and two missionaries were coming from Cartagena so they were really looking forward to seeing them. 
Elder Read says it's going to be really difficult to say goodbye to Elder Avilés as he's become one of his best friends.  Anyway, it has been decided that Elder Avilés will collect him at the end of his mission, presumably to go with him to the airport.  
He says the garden at the chapel looks better too.
Nueva agenda para un nuevo traslado
La agenda que tiene 'never give up' es de Élder Avilés. La otra es la mia. 
Elder Read dice:  ¿Que tal la semana? ¿Han podido hacer eso sobre los Libros the Mormón? Estoy animado para recibir ese paquete :D Todo va super bien por aca. Élder Avilés se traslada el Miércoles. Se va para Albacete en Castilla-La mancha, donde todo el Castellano empezó jaja :P Tenemos que enforcarnos en encontrar esta semana. Derek (el misionero bautista) nos mandó unn mensaje diciendo que los lideres de su iglesia han pedido que dejamos que reunirnos con ellos. La verdad es que nos posimos bastante triste. Pero el otro día recibimos un mensaje de Brandon (un otro misionero) deciondo que quería reunirse con nosotros antes que termina su misión. Espero que vamos a tener la oportunidad para verle esta semana.
Elders Avilés, Read and Metcalf
El frío ha empezado aquí en Sevilla. Voy por la calle en chaqueta y bufanda. Hace muuuucho frío. Bueno, no tanto, 12 grados o 18. Pero ya que estoy acostumbrado a 38 grados mínimo. Hace mucho frió para mí jaja 
El barrio es super bueno. Ayer llegamos al piso SUPER cansados, físicamente, mentalmente y espiritualmente. (Siempre oramos que tendrán fuerza suficiente). Mamá, mis rodillas están bien a pesar de el problema de la semana pasada.
Hoy vamos a tener una noche de hogar con un familia de nuestro barrio. Dos misioneros de Cartagena vienen para Sevilla entonces estoy muy animados a ver los.

La verdad es que es super difícil despedirme de Élder Avilés. La verdad es que es uno de mis mejores amigos. Hemos quedado que me a venir a recogerme cuando termine la misión. El huerto de la capilla de ve mejor también :) 
Elderes Read y Avilés


El Libro de Mormón tiene la solución. The Book of Mormon has the solution.
