This week was great :) Here in Spain they celebrate everything and they have huge parties. There have been parties going on here for the last 3 weeks straight. This week is Muslims and Catholics celebrating a war they had 500 years ago and then learning to live in peace. It started Monday and I think ends today but starting Monday there has been parades going every night from 6-9 and each one gets more and more extravagant Saturday was the big Catholic parade and everyone was dressed up in medieval catholic outfits and Sunday was the Muslim parade which was super cool. They had camels, sheep, ducks, cows and lions going threw it was awesome. Everyone dressed up as African dancers and painted themselves black. Another thing Is from 11-12 every night they have a goodnight ceremony where about 10 different marching bands march through the streets randomly playing and have guns and canons firing blanks then at 7-8 the next morning they get up and do it again so as we are going to bed and when we are getting up there is just gun fire going off all over town constantly. Also they have big white tents set up randomly threw the streets (one right under our apartment) and at 11 at night they turn into night clubs which super loud music and flashing lights. So that’s fun to try to sleep and it doesn’t stop till about 3:30. So everyone is just drunk and partying all week.
Transfers are this week but we found out that our how district is staying the same so that is exciting :) Also I had companionship exchanges with Elder McConnaughey the Zone leader and he is super awesome and we did a lot of work and found a lot of new people! We also made an ice cream cake with pastries and caramel popcorn ice cream which was heaven.
On a more spiritual note we found out that the lady who had cancer lives in someone else’s area so we had to give her up but we have a couple people that we are teaching. We found 8 new investigators this week so that is super exciting. I love showing the Because He Lives video because it bring the spirit so fast and is always a great first lesson! We have three star investigators Maria Jose, Matias and William. Maria told us that she feels some power when she reads the Book of Mormon but not when she reads the Bible but she says she doesn’t want to change. William and Matias have the problem that they want to pray to Virgin Mary but they are great :) Pray for them!!
