Elder Read's time in Huércal-Overa is drawing to a close, and the climate there is changing just a little; not much, it's still hot. In fact, it's gone from boiling to hot!.
Last week they didn't have the success they had been having in previous weeks although they feel that they were doing everything ;possible to further the work.
This morning - Monday, P-Day - they went to play football, which was supposed to start at 11.30, but nobody turned up until 12.15; and they had to go so they didn't get to play after all. Elder Read has learnt much about punctuality in Spain ha ha! And he expects to see a lot more of this before his mission finishes!
un paquete SUPER grande
His companion has received an ENORMOUS parcel with loads of things and a new camera because he damaged the other; so now he's taking photos of everything! It's rather amusing.
Last Friday they had a Zone Meeting. Elder Read had received a prospectus from Reading University, so now he's got two: from Reading and Bristol. He says he really doesn't want to go to Reading. Evidently he was discussing this at the meeting and discovered that the Americans all pronounce Reading like reading a book.
After the meeting they all went to eat at Dominos, after which they had to run back to the chapel with the zone leaders who were giving them a lift to the bus station. But they were laden with Elder Dean's heavy parcel, two boxes of Books of Mormon, the new Liahona, 15 DVDs of he Restoration and a whole lot more. With the heat, it wasn't that enjoyable a journey home!!
They have had a very enjoyable family home evening with both investigators and members. (At the moment they are trying to get permission from the husband of an investigator for her and their daughter to be baptised).
On Sunday, lots of investigators promised to come to church - but no-one came! Hence, one of Elder Read's and Elder Dean's favourite sayings - said in English - is "JUST COME TO CHURCH."

Elder Read dice:
Pues se está terminando mis tiempo aquí en Huércal-Overa y también se está cambiando un poquitito el clima. Bueno, no mucho; todavía hace calor jaja :P A bajado de hirviendo a caluroso jaja :P
Pues esta semana no vimos tanto éxito como las otras semanas pero sentimos que hemos hecho todo lo posible por hacer la obra aquí en esta semana.
Íbamos a jugar fútbol hoy y habíamos quedado con todos a las 11:30 para jugar. Pero nadie vino hasta las 12:15. Y tuvimos que irnos. Entonces no jugamos nada. He aprendido mucho de el ser puntual a los sitios aquí jaja. Algo que voy a aplicar MUCHO más cuando termino mi misión.
MI compañero recibió un paquete SUPER grande. Con un montón de chuches y una nueva cámara porque se rompió la otra jaja. Pues ahora está tomando fotos de TODO. Es un poco gracioso jaja :P
Fuimos a la reunión de Zona el viernes. Me llegó un prospectus de la Universidad de Reading. Ahora tengo dos. Uno de Bristol y otro de Reading. La verdad es que no me gustaría ir a Reading. Todos los americanos lo estaban pronunciando como reading (leyendo) Y pensaron que se llamaba la the reading university (la universidad donde se lee) jaja :P
Pues fuimos a Dominos para almorzar con la zona, luego tuvimos que correr hasta la capilla con los lideres de Zona a su coche para que nos llevasen a la estación de autobuses para coger el bus a tiempo. Tuvimos 2 cajas de Libros de Mormón (pesan bastante) el paquete de mi compañero, la nueva Liahona, 15 DVDs de la restauración y muchas otras cosas más. Con la calor no era un caminada muy divertida hacia casa jaja :P
Tuvimos una noche de hogar divertida con investigadores y miembros. (todavía estamos intentando conseguir el permiso del esposo para que deja que su esposa y su hija se bautizan)
UN montón de gente se comprometieron a venir a la capilla ayer. Pero no vinieron... Grrr! Una de nuestras frases favoritas es "JUST COME TO CHURCH!" jaja :P
More things wearing out
Mas cosas malogrando
