Elder Read's Mission to Spain - La Misión a España de Elder Read : A Wonderful First Week and an Even Better One to Come - Una Primera Semana Fantastica y la projima va a hacer mejor.

Elder Read says that there are a lot of people in Huércal Overa who are ready to receive the Gospel. They have found new people and have appointments this week. The mission president has taught them how to get referrals from members and he has inspired them to work with the less-actives. Therefore that's what they are doing.

He and his companion are getting on really well. On Sunday the sacrament attendance was only 24... but they're going to increase it!! They have to baptise. This week, of course, is Holy Week - and Elder Read misses English chocolate. But there is an English shop there. In fact, there are a lot of English people and he never knows what language he's going to have to speak. He greeted a couple in the street in Spanish and then heard them speaking English. He went into the English shop and discovered that the owner's name is Carol and that she comes from the Lake District. She's great!!

Huércal Overa

Normally only English people go into that shop and because of that Elder Read addressed a man in English only to discover that he understood no English at all. He was what Elder Read described as TOTALLY Andalucian.

On Monday the elders were going to eat at the home of some members Last week Elder Read saw a lot of the missionaries from Cartagena and to hear about the members made him very happy. The bishop of Cartagena 1 is the father of Élder Martínez, who is in the same mission as Simon Bray.

So all is going very well and they have had a super week with a lot of miracles - and this week is going to be better!

HOlaaa!!!!!! Pues hemos tenido una semana de milagros!

Hay muchísimas personas preparadas aquí. muchísimas. Estamos encontrando nuevas personas y tenemos que poner fechas esta semana. El presidente nos enseñó algunas cositas para poder sacar referencias de los miembros. Nos animó a trabajar con los menos activos. Entonces eso es lo que estamos haciendo. Mi compañero y yo nos caemos super bien :) Y la rama tiene miembros super buenos. Ayer tuvimos una asistencia de solo 24... ¡Vamos a mejorar! ¡Tenemos que bautizar! Esta semana empieza la semana santa. Hecho de menos chocolate de Inglaterra jaja :P pero hay una tienda inglesa aquí. Hay MUCHOS ingleses aquí. Nunca sé cuál idioma debo hablar jaja :P Una saludé una pareja por la calle in español y luego les escuché hablar en inglés. Y luego entre en la tienda inglesa, la dueña de llama Carol es del Lake District, es muy buena :) Pero entré, y como normalmente como solamente son ingleses que entran saludé a un hombre en inglés, y luego noté que no hablaba NADA de inglés y era TOTALMENTE andaluz jaja :P

Vamos a ir comer en la casa de algunos miembros hoy. Vi a muchos todos los misioneros de Cartagena la semana pasada. Eschuché de los miembros y fué guay. El obispo de Cartagena 1 es el padre de Élder Martínez quien está en la misma misión que Simon Bray.

Pues todo va super bien. hemos tenido una semana buenísima. Muchos milagros y esta semana va a hacer mejor :)
