Last week was another week of miracles! Although Elder Read and his companion Elder Metcalf had three entire days without working, due to P-day, weekly planning, District Meeting, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, they still managed to find four new investigators - three of them on Sunday afternoon. And they had 17 discussions in all. MIRACLES, MIRACLES and more MIRACLES. The work there is growing massively, he says.

Talking by Skype (Our webcam gives a better picture than the Spanish one) - see below.

El día de Navidad, despues que Elder Read habia hablado con nosotros (sus padres) fue con Elder Metcalf abajo y comieron un poco, ya habian comido la familia. Pero Elder Read trajo su guitarra y Abraham (el padre) también toca la guitarra, Entonces estuvieron ahí cantando, y tocando juntos :) Era super guay!

On Christmas Day, after Elder Read had spoken to us by Skype he went downstairs with Elder Metcalf to have something to eat. The family they were visiting had eaten already. Elder Read had taken his guitar so he was able to sing with Abraham, the father, who also plays the guitar. It was fantastic, he says.

On Sunday, there was a visit from the family of a missionary who had served in Seville 25 years ago. He comes from Alabama and visited with all his family. The mission home at that time was in Seville and in fact it was the Seville Mission. The elders pass the old mission home every day but the can't go in as it's in a private residential area. They'd like to knock on the door, though!!

Elder Read can't believe that he's going to be 20 tomorrow!! His companion is calling him old. Grrrr!

When he wrote on Monday he didn't know what they were going to do for the rest of P-day, but today they are having a talent show as part of their Zone Conference - and he was hoping that all would go well.

Elder Read dice:

Nosotros hemos tenido una semana mas de milagros. A pesar que tuvimos casi tres dias enteros sin trabajar (por causa de p-day, planeamiento semanal, reunión de distrito, noche buena y navidad) Encontramos 4 nuevo investigadores (tres ayer por la tarde), y tuvimos 17 lecciones en total. ¡MILAGROS, MILAGROS Y MAS MILAGROS! :D ¡la obra aquí está creciendo un montón!

Ayer vino la familia de un misionero que sirvió su misión aquí hace 25 años. Es de Alabama. Vino con todo su familia. La casa de la misión antes estaba en sevilla. Era misión Sevilla. No dimos cuenta que nosotros pasamos por la antigua casa de la misión cada día jaja :P pero no se puede entrar porque es una urbanización privada. ¡Queremos tocar la puerta! Jaja :P

Elders Metcalf and Read bundled up for studies...

NO puedo creer y voy a cumplir 20 ya - jueves... ¡QUE RARO! Mi compañero me está llamando viejo... grrr.

Bueno, NI IDEA lo que vamos a hacer hoy - lunes. Pero Miércoles vamos a tener un show de talentos como parte de nuestra conferencia de Zona. Espero que todo vaya bien jaja :)
