The spirit is so strong here it amazing!! I love it here! there are about 40 of us here. we are on the 4 5 6 story of a church building here that is right by the temple. There are people here speaking Spanish Russian Italian and French it is crazy! I have learned more Spanish this week then I have my whole life. The gift of tongues is real and something that gives me hope is looking and the district of Russian speakers that have been here for 6 weeks that are speaking Russian like they have been speaking it their whole lives. Sorry about my spelling and I want to email you all individually but they only give us 30 mins to read and email and that is not very long. Here in the Madrid MTC they do a thing every Saturday where we go to a park that is like central park in New York but here in Madrid and we had to tract with our companion in the park to everyone we see. This was really hard because we had been learning Spanish for 5 days and we had to teach some natives. My and my companion where walking around and we say this lady sitting on a bench and we went up and started testifying to her in Spanish and then in English she said I can barely understand your Spanish but I have a feeling i know what you are saying is of God and important so can you speak English so I can understand. We were so grateful that she spoke English. We gave her the first discussion in English and it was bad because we hadn't prepared for that but the spirit was so strong and she invited us meet her in the same place next week so we are and we are preparing the second discussion to give her. As of my companion he is really annoying but I love my district soooooo much!!!!!! I love everyone here and I talk to everyone. Me and my companion have the same personality so i think the Lord put him as my companion for me to see what I'm like. Here it is basically hard core studying all day long so by the time time its bed time we are all exhausted. I cut my own hair and it looks really bad. Our room failed cleaning inspection so we had to fix that. I wish i could talk more but i cant. send letters because i can put more time in reading and writing those. ask my mom for the address. We aren't allowed to take pictures except on P day so I don't have many but Spain has the best sunrises and sunsets in the world!! I love everyone!!!!!
