Elder Read Skyped us on Sunday evening for a whole hour, which was absolutely fantastic. There are more pictures below. His knee is no longer causing any problems! We also spoke to his companion Elder Crandall and the family who were feeding them that evening and making their computer available for the wonderful Skype session. We are really, really grateful.
It's very clear just how well the two elders get on together!
Elder Read's accent in Spanish has reverted to Latin American as there are so many Latinos in Huércal Overa, and it's easy to see why he has been sent there. His mother is, of course, Peruvian.
Needless to say, much of the hour was spent discussing family matters, which you don't need to be bored with.
We still wrote our e-mail as usual that evening and the next day Elder Read replied as usual but, needless to say, the e-mails consisted mainly of photos, so here are the ones he sent.
Domingo por la noche hablamos con Elder Read por Skype durante una hora. Que alegría! (Ver fotos) Nos dijo que su rodillo no es ya un problema, que es una bendición.Hablamos también con su compañero, Elder Crandall. Ademas a la familia de quien computadora estaban usando y con quien cenaron. Estamos muy agradacidos a ellos.
Es muy evidente que los Elderes se entienden muy bien.
El acento de Elder Read ha vuelto a latino americano porque hay muchos latinos en Huércal Overa, y es fácil a entender porque fue mandado ahí. Su mama es peruana!
Naturalmente pasamos casi toda la hora hablando sobre cosas familiares y ademas en nuestros emails lunes. Sin embargo Elder Read nos envió fotos y aquí están:

In Elder Read's e-mail he said he is always hungry - so see the photos below - and he went on to say how wonderful it was to see us yesterday. He says they are working and hoping the miracles will come. This week a new Elder is going to arrive in the District, but they are unlikely to get to know him very well as they are such a long way from the other missionaries: a village "in the middle of nowhere" ha ha!!

Elders Read and Crandall
The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that “in obedience there is joy and peace unspotted, unalloyed; and as God has designed our happiness … he never has—He never will institute an ordinance or give a commandment to His people that is not calculated in its nature to promote that happiness which He has designed, and which will not end in the greatest amount of good and glory to those who become the recipients of his law and ordinances” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 256–57).
