It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas....not!

It´s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas... not. There´s no snow here. I wish we could even have a little snow. It´s super super warm in the morning/afternoon and then it gets really cold later on, but it doesn´t ever snow here. I do like the the lights they put up though. They have lights they hang between the streets. Some are in the shape of stars, and some say Merry Christmas in Mallorquin (a dialect of Catalan) "Bones Festes". This last week we went out to a pueblo (a small town), called Andratx (pronounced Ahndratch in English). Well, it´s kind of a pueblo. It´s a little bigger than a pueblo. It could be its own city. We went out their to visit a Phillipina investigadora that we have out there. Her name is Rochelle and she only speaks Tagalog and English because she lived in England for a long time. Her sister Dempy is a member and has lived in Spain all her life pretty much. They are so fun, and we are going out their for Christmas Eve dinner. It´s an hour and a half bus ride away though, which is super far for this tiny island. The only thing stopping Rochelle from getting baptized are her parents back in the Phillipines. She´s 24, so she can do what she wants, but her parents are really against it so she´s a little nervous about just going ahead and getting baptized, but she comes to church every week with Dempy. English class is so fun at church. We teach Gospel Principles in English for those few members who speak English better than Spanish. There are no native English speakers though. It consists of Rochelle and Dempy, and sometimes Dempy´s husband Jasp who are all Phillipino. And also Monday, Frank and his wife, and John Robert come too. They are Nigerian and have the funniest accent. They always ask "Howyoudoin?" or "Howyourday?" and you have to say "Idoingfine" or " Mydayfine" back to them. And John Robert is one of the Nigerians who always comes to English Gospel Principles and he just takes over the whole time. He always raises his hand and asks "Can I add something?" and then he goes off for the whole block. But he has a lot of good things to say, so it´s alright. I am really excited about Skyping home on Christmas and being able to talk to my parents. I love Christmas time, even when there´s no snow. I hope we can all take the time to remember why we really celebrate Christmas. I wish all of you back home the very best Christmas filled with good meals, lots of family time, and a focus on Jesus Christ who died so that we can be with our families forever. Let us love those around us this Christmas as He has shown his love for us. 

Merry Christmas!

Dear Everyone,

This week we got sick. Well, I just have the sniffles, but my companions are all sick with sore throats and such. Other than that, it´s been a very productive week. We found a lot of new investigators last week. I´m growing to really like street contacting. Although I know it´s not nearly as effective as working through the members. During weekly planning this week, we came up with some great ideas for working with members. I am excited to start putting them into practice. On another note, Elder Dayes is leaving tomorrow. Leaving, leaving. To go home. Elder Dayes is Elder Burnett´s companion and they share our piso (apartment). It´s sad yet exciting for him. He´s pretty excited to be home for Christmas. He gave his farewell talk in Church yesterday. How it works here is there are 12 missionaries in the city of Palma. 6 are over one branch and 6 over the other. Our branch is named Poniente and the other is Levante. In Poniente there are Elder McMahon and I, Elder Dayes and Elder Burnett, Sister Wallace and Sister Bennet. Both branches share the same building. Levante´s services are at 10 am and ours starts at 4pm, which is super late. Yesterday, one of the speakers, Julio (who was just baptized in julio of this year and is already the branch mission líder) talked way past his time and Elder Dayes gave a really quick testimony. It was pretty funny actually. The branch president got up and handed a note to Julio so that he would wrap it up and I saw it afterwards. It said "Hermano, su tiempo ha terminado. Gracias". He laughed about it and overall, it was a good Sunday. I don´t know if I´ve mentioned this yet, but since the cuture is different here, we have a different time schedule. We still follow the missionary schedule, but shifted forward an hour. So we wake up at 7:30 and go to bed at 11:30 because people wake up later and are out later here. Anway, that´s all for this week. I´m excited for today because we´re going to go visit a castle for preparation day. Until next week. Love you all,

Elder Coleman

On the island

Dear Everyone,

I´m safe in Spain! Last Monday morning I flew out of Salt Lake at 11 in the morning and got to New York at about 5:30 their time. I then hopped on a plane to Barcelona at 7:30. The cross-ocean plane ride was nice, even though I didn´t get a wink of sleep. They had blankets and pillows and complimentary meals and snacks. So with the 8 hour flight and the time difference, I arrived at 9:30 am Tuesday morning Barcelona time. I got picked up (I was the only one at the airport, everyone else came in by train from Madrid), then I got taken to one of the church buildings in Barcelona. That´s where I met all the other new missionaries. They loaded us on a bus and took us to a castle called Montjuïc for a tour. After that, we went to the mission home and got a brief overview and temporary assignments for the night. I got assigned to be in Badalona (an area just outside of Barcelona) for the night while I waited for my real assignment the next day. The next day we had a meeting with the government to get residency then we had an orientation and introduction to the mission. Afterwards we got our assignments. I was assigned to go to Palma, a city on the island of Mallorca in the Balearic islands. It´s commonly known as Palma de Mallorca (Palma of Mallorca). So that´s where I am right now. My companion is Elder McMahon. He´s from Indiana and he´s been out about 16 months. He speaks really really well. I´m still working on that. Everything here is quad lingual, well everything important is. All the signs and important info is in Castellano, Catalán, English, and German. There are a lot of things different in Spain. For example, all the doorknobs are dead center in the middle of the door and have no purpose except to pull the door open. They don´t turn. Also, I heard things were going to be expensive here, but some things are so much cheaper than the States. Some things are expensive though. I´m going to McDonalds later today which is super expensive, but groceries and corner stores and buses and a lot of things are super cheap. Anyway, that´s all for now. Until next week.

The rain in Spain falls mainly on Mallorca!

So after a lot of waiting and flying I am now safe in Palma on the island of Mallorca. I flew to New York Monday at 11 am and got there at about 5:30 their time. I then got on a really nice plane to Barcelona at 7:30. I liked how they served a meal and 2 snacks for free. Also there was a ton of movies to choose from that I would have definitely watched if I hadn´t been on my mission. I stayed the first night in Badalona (a city right out of Barcelona). Then today was transfers and I was assigned to be in Palma. My area is called Poniente B, and my companion/trainer is Elder McMahon from Indiana. My piso is super nice. I´ll send pictures on preperation day. But trust me it´s nice. It´s super rainy here but time to go out and work anyways. Talk to you on Monday.

Love Elder Coleman

I'm in Spain!!

Dear families of our new missionaries,

     We are pleased to inform you that your son has safely arrived in the Spain Barcelona Mission.  Hermana Pace and I, along with the two assistants, met him at the train station.  The group of missionaries we received are wonderful young men and women, ready to go to work. Their enthusiasm reflects their love for the Savior and we are grateful for the privilege of guiding them along as they serve the Lord.

     Every area in the Spain Barcelona Mission is unique and beautiful, rich in history and tradition.  More importantly, each city is full of children of our Heavenly Father, waiting to hear the glad news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

               

     Thank you for the trust you have put in us to shepherd your son.  Please know that we feel a great responsibility to guide and protect “our” missionaries.  We love your sons and daughters as if they were our own.  With the Lord’s help, we intend to make their mission experience in Barcelona the most memorable time of their lives.

Sincerely,

President and Hermana Pace

I'm Leaving On A Jet Plane!

I am very excited because next week I will be on a plane to Spain! I can't wait to be on my way. I bought a FCB shirt at Burlingtons today to celebrate. This week has been full of wonderful experiences. We met with Victor and his nephew from the Dominican Republic (that accent and Cuban accents are the hardest to understand by far). Last time we met with him, he wouldn't stop talking about how members are all hypocrites, especially his brother who is a member. This week we met with him and his nephew and they both want to be baptized! It came out of nowhere and it was definitely a miracle. We also met with Merly who is preparing for her baptism on Saturday. She accepts that Christ is her Savior, but she's Jewish and it's hard for her to admit it and one of the hardest struggles has been helping her to end her prayers in the name of Jesus Christ. But she did it this week for the first time! That was definitely a tender moment for me. I love being able to share my testimony constantly. It's really helping to strengthen it. Anyway, that's all for this week. I won't be able to email next week, but the next email I send should be pretty exciting.

 

Also a couple of neat tidbits I forgot to mention, Highland High School, where Forever Strong was filmed, we drive by it almost every day. Also we drive by East High a fair bit, which is where High School Musical was shot. I hear they still have Sharpay's locker in there and it's still pink.

It's Official!

So my week has been pretty eventful. I went down on Tuesday to Orem to get my visa from the Spain consul. There was just me and one other girl who's going to Malaga. The consul gave us our passports, made us sign a paper that says we received our visas from him and then we left. I got my flight plans the next day. I'm leaving on the 25th of November so I can arrive at the beginning of their transfers. I am excited to go, but I am kind of upset to leave here. I'm glad I get a full transfer to see what's happening in this area. We have 3 baptisms next week and I am looking forward to that.

 

Brigham Young's grave which just happened to be nestled between a couple apartments and we wouldn't have found it if we didn't have an appointment in one of the apartments.

 

Only two weeks left before I fly to Barcelona! 

Trick or Treat?

I'm excited to hear about the things everyone is up to. I usually just print off long emails to read throughout the week, so I don't spend all my email time reading. I just got a call not longer than 5 minutes ago from the mission office. I got my visa!!! I'm going tomorrow at 7:15 in the morning to Orem to get my visa from the Consul, who I've already met the last time I had to get my visa. But I'm almost 100% sure this is the real deal because he told me last time that my situation is the first time he's seen Spain make a typo when they send the approved list to the Church. He was super surprised that it happened. So I doubt it would happen twice. Sister Winn from the office, who called me and told me I would be leaving tomorrow morning to get it said she thinks I will be leaving on Wednesday to Spain. She doesn't know for sure, but I hope so. I'm so ready to go. I have loved my time here though. I have had some great experiences. Speaking of experiences, I got to see Sister Lani Bascom on Temple Square during one of our lessons. There is a Jewish lady (who's getting baptized on the 16th) that we teach on Temple Square because it's near where she works. This last lesson we had with her, on the couches in the North Vistor's Center, Sister Bascom just walks in a door, and walks out another door. It was cool to see her, even if we didn't get to talk. I also had the opportunity of going to the Jordan River Temple on the 30th with the whole mission. That was enjoyable. I am learning so much Spanish and a lot more Portuguese than I was expecting. I am also surprised by just how many Brazilian people live in Salt Lake. There are so many. And they make great food. I'm a little sad to leave, but I am so excited for Spain. Hopefully the next email you get will be from Europe.

(I guess we'll have to watch and see whether this news about the visa is another trick, or a treat!)

Jordan River Temple

Missionary humour!

And this is how missionaries celebrate Halloween--by dressing up like old fashioned professors!  Wait, I mean, wearing orange and black!  Sorry, got confused.

This may be the last post from the US, but don't hold your breath (just in case)!  Nothing has been by the book, so why should any future travel plans be the exception?

Keeping Busy!

 

So my stories for this week. We taught someone on Temple Square! It's typically out of our area and even out of our mission, but since it was a Portuguese investigator, we have a huge area we can cover. Our Spanish area is pretty small but for Portuguese, we cover from Bountiful to Draper. Anyway, we taught her in the North Visitor's Center and she seems really interested. We took her up to see the Christus before we taught her. Then we found out, as we were teaching her, that she's Jewish. But she's really interested and she came to church and loved it. For our second appointment we took Edgard, the guy who got baptized last week, and they really connected on a lot of points. So, for Halloween we aren't allowed to go out and proselyte. Instead, we will get locked in the mission home all evening. Apparently some people dress up as missionaries and just wreak havoc. Also, we are going to the Jordan River temple on Wednesday. I'm pretty excited for that. Well, that's all for this week.

This is Edgard, my first baptism.

I have a challenge for all of you. I have seen how slow the work can move without the support of the members. But when the members get involved, there are huge blessings for everyone. I challenge all of you to set up a family night with a non-member family. Just invite someone you know from work or everyday life over to your home for dinner and just a social night. Then invite the missionaries to teach your family. So the missionaries won't focus on your friends, but they will be there and here the message the missionaries share and they can make return appointments and get contact info. It's a very non-awkward way of introducing your friends to the missionaries. Anyway, I hope to hear back on what you did.

Adios, MTC!  Hola, SLC East!

Dear Everyone,
I am super excited to be here! So I know it isn't Spain, and it was a little disappointing at first, but I am glad I am here. I am in another tri. With zone leaders. And apparently that's rare. I was told that zone leaders never train. And it's never a trio. But there hasn't been a lot of normal things about my mission so far. Most companionships cover a stake or 2 in our zone. But we cover 2 branches. The Spanish and the Portuguese branch. My companion Elder Reiff is from California and served 15 months in Manaus Brazil, so he speaks fluent Portuguese. Then he got reassigned up here. I don't know how or why that happened. My other companion, Elder Allen is from Kentucky and is Spanish speaking, so he speaks pretty good. Better than me at least. They have both been out for 16 months. I had my first baptism of my mission on Saturday. He's a 26 year old guy from Brazil named Edgard. He was so excited to be baptized. Part of the perks of covering both the Spanish and Portuguese branches is the food. I get to have some pretty good food from both cultures. One of the foods I get a lot of is feijoada, which is beans and rice and some other stuff in it. It's pretty good. It's a Brazilian dish. A challenge I have been having is understanding the Portuguese. I can understand Spanish pretty well, but I only understand 20% of the Portuguese that is spoken. I know that is the gift of the interpretation of tongues though to be able to understand even that much. Sometimes I can understand all of what they say for 5, 10 minutes at a time. I am thankful for all the gifts I have and I am hopeful for my visa, but I wouldn't mind staying here for a little bit longer. Ok, so some fun facts about my mission. It covers from Temple Square to the middle of Wyoming. I am currently serving in Salt Lake/ Holladay area. Our area covers the prophet's house and the building that our Spanish branch is in is also home to the ward of which John Bytheway is bishop. So apparently my companions see him every so often. I haven't yet though. Also, a lot of General Authorities come to talk to the mission, but I haven't been here long enough yet. Anyway, that's it until next time.

I forgot to give my mailing address for at least the next 5 weeks (unless I get my visa, which you will hear about). It's 2625 E Solar Dr, Apt 41, Salt Lake City UT, USA, 84124

Lessons in Humour and Patience--

So I have a pretty funny story to tell. Last P-day, I got a notice from the MTC Travel Office that said I had received my visa and I had to go to the main campus on October 7th at 1pm to pick it up. I also got travel plans saying I am going to fly out on Monday October 14, with one layover in New York on my way to Barcelona. So I got to the main campus on the 7th to collect my visa. I got into the room I was supposed to be in and there were a couple other missionaries going to Spain. Then this guy started talking to us about what we need to do. Apparently, he's appointed by Spain to be a Consul and is also a member of the Church and lives in Orem. So it was nice that I didn't have to go anywhere. He talked to us for about 2 hours about procedure at the airport and other stuff like that. Then he pulled out a stack of passports and started calling out names. He called everyone's name but mine. He then looked at my name tag and said "Elder Coleman! I know your name! You were in an email I got from the Spanish government" So apparently what happened was I got put on a list by the Spain government of missionaries who were approved for their visas, but then they emailed him the next day saying that my name wasn't supposed to be on there and it was just a typo. The Consul said it was the first time this had happened in his 5 years as a Consul for Spain. I was the only one that didn't get their visa that day. So what's going to happen is unless I get my visa in the next 2 days, I will be reassigned next week. Which means I will be staying at the MTC an extra week. Anyway, that's pretty much my news for the past week. Also, I really enjoyed all of the Conference talks this past weekend. I loved hearing the words of the prophet. I hope everyone is well. Talk to you next week, probably from the MTC still.

The Waiting Game Continues....

Dear Everyone,

Next week will be my last P-day here. Well, hopefully. I still don't know what's going to happen. It's pretty likely that I'm going to be reassigned because I haven't gotten my visa yet and I'm supposed to leave in 11 days. I bought a Spain shirt and I'm wearing it as much as I can. I've also been learning to speak Spanish with a Spain accent, even though some of the other missionaries think it's funny. I am just super excited to finally get to go when the time comes. I love the devotionals that they have here. I got to hear from multiple members of the Seventy and the Provo Temple President. And this week, we'll get to hear from the prophet!! Broadcast of course, but I'm still super excited. One of our progressing investigators, Juan, committed to go to General Conference with us. He's not a real investigator of course, but it's still super exciting. We had an ayuno de ingles a couple days ago. It was really tough not speaking English for a whole day, but it really helped me grow. We just got a new district here yesterday, but I haven't really met them yet. I think they're all going to Argentina though. Well that's pretty much all that's happened this week. Oh also I want to bear my testimony about the power of the temple. I love being able to go every week and I have so many questions answered there. It really is God's house on the Earth.

Now let's add people in the photos!

This was my zone when I first arrived.  Many people have come and gone since then.

This is my district as well as the one that came in the week after I did.

These are pictures of my companions and I in front of the Provo Temple. The one on the left is Elder  Clayson. The one on the right is Elder Larsen.

 

Well, that's all, folks!  For now, anyways!  So many exciting adventures happening!  Will Preston get to listen to any awesome talks by famous General Authorities?  Will Preston get his visa and be able to go to Spain?  Will he still be in Provo a week from now?  How much Spanish can he learn in a week?  Does any of it make sense in real life conversations?  Or will it only be good for ordering at Taco Bell?  Will he answer any of the questions people write to him?  Will there ever be sheets on the bed?  Tune in next week to find out!

Here are some more photos of my time in the MTC so far.

                              Here's my first bedroom.  Nice, right?  Home away from home!

And here's my new room!  Much nicer!  Although the bed is still unmade....hmmm.

And a little bit of extra breathing room.

Still No Visa :(

 

Dear Everyone,

Today has been a good week. I am loving my zone, we are very comfortable with each other. I am also starting to enjoy teaching lessons more and I feel my Spanish really improving. This week was our last week of going to the Marriot Center for devotionals. The speaker this week was Don R. Clarke of the Seventy. I wrote down a lot of what he said because it really touched me. It was about having the Spirit with you to direct you where to go and always opening your mouth so you don't miss out on opportunities. Still no news on my visa, however most of my district got theirs this week. But that's a Mexico visa, I hear Spain takes way longer. I'm really loving the letters and DearElders I'm getting. It's honestly what I look forward to most each day. Well, besides teaching. And personal study. I feel like there will be much more to write about when I'm in the field because stuff will be happening and not everything will be the same every day. Even the food is pretty much the same every day. But things don't seem to be going as slow anymore. I feel like everything's speeding up. I'm already over halfway done my stay at the MTC here. Well, unless I don't get my visa in time and they decide to keep me here. People have told me stories of other missionaries they knew that couldn't get their visas and the Church didn't want to reassign them because the visa could come at any time, so they just kept them in the MTC for months. I sure hope that doesn't happen to me. Anyway, that's the update on my life esta semana. Until next week!

Here I am in front of the MTC! 

My Aunt Bobbi and Uncle Eric picked me up from the SLC airport and took me to the MTC.  Thank you!!

More photos to come!

New MTC address!

Dear Everyone,

So far so good. I'm not getting too sick of being here yet. I'd still rather be in Spain right now though. So today was a good day, we got to go to the temple and I did a bunch of family names. I have the new address for my MTC mail slot. I'm still getting all your DearElders, they just get delayed. It's: 2007N 900E Unit 890, Oct 14, SPA-BAR, Provo Utah. So now that I've given the new address there is no excuse for anyone to not write me. Especially since it's free. Even just say a few words. So this week has been pretty much the same. Raul got baptized! (Well, his character did) We now have 2 investigators that we teach almost every day, including tonight, completely in Spanish. I can see my language improving, but it's still super bad. They keep saying that it's not knowing the language that matters, it's knowing the language of the Spirit that matters. But I don't know, I still think it matters quite a bit. I love my zone and branch presidency. Brother Doman is one of the members of the branch presidency and he went to Barcelona on his mission, so he's going to give me names of people he wants me to look up when I'm there. Also, speaking of Spain, I'm met 2 people from Spain already. When I was at the main campus, I met an Elder from Palma de Mallorca, which is in my mission, and is going to the Melbourne Australia mission. And then when I went to the Marriot Center this Tuesday for a devotional, which was really good by the way, I met a Sister who is from Barcelona and is going to the Temple Square mission. I didn't really get a chance to talk to the Elder, but I talked to the Sister about the language and the culture and just everything she could tell me about Barcelona in 15 minutes. She said that a lot of people only speak Catalan in Catalunya, which is a huge chunk of my mission, so I better be able to say at least a few things in it. Anyway, it's hard to know what to put into an email because so much happens every day. If you have any specific questions, just ask and I will answer next week. That's all for now! A la próxima semana!

I MADE IT!

I finally got my P-day. My zone is assigned Thursday as our P-day, but we arrived Wednesday and the day after you arrive is Orientation stuff so we didn´t get a P-day last week. So the MTC has been an adventure. It´s way more difficult than I thought it would be, but I´m starting to get used to it. So here´s a fun story for you all. My family and I arrived at the Kelowna airport on September 4th to drop me off. I was supposed to take a 6 am flight from Kelowna to Seattle and then connect to Salt Lake. But the Seattle flight got canceled. So what Delta did was put my on a flight to Vancouver an hour later on WestJet and then a second flight to Salt Lake on Delta airlines again. Well, I got to Vancouver just fine and I found Delta airlines to get my boarding pass for the second flight. It took them like 30 minutes to transfer my ticket info and luggage from WestJet back to Delta. They finally had to manually transfer my luggage and printed me my boarding pass. But when I got to Salt Lake, I found 2 bags that looked exactly like mine, but weren´t. Anyway, long story short, I pretty much lived in one suit and one pair of underwear for 3 days. After I got my bags, it got better. It took a while to get used to all the sitting and reading and studying you do. You have two 3-hour blocks of class everyday and when you aren´t in class, you´re either eating or doing some sort of study. There is no free time to do anything. I had to skip some sort of activity just to check the front desk to see if my luggage had arrived. Also, I am no longer in the same MTC. Our whole zone got moved this Tuesday. We´re now in the MTC West campus, which is just some old student housing that BYU converted into an MTC campus and it´s only a 3 minute drive away from the old one. But our residences are way better now and we get to go shopping at Brigham´s Landing on P'days. Also, part of moving means that my mailing address isn´t the same. I don´t know what the new one is, but I´ll let you know as soon as I can. For those people who have been using DearElder, thank you so much!! It´s really nice to get those. For those who don´t know, you can go on DearElder.com and type what you want to send me and they´ll print it off and deliver it for free. If you want to do that, just use my old address, and they´ll forward it over. Now that I´ve told stories and asked for letters, I want to talk about how my learning is going. From the first day on, they only speak in Spanish in the classroom. Also, there´s a new program they introduced this year or sometime thereabouts. We have progressing investigators. There are BYU students who are return missionaries that get hired by the MTC and some get hired as investigators. So we started teaching ours on the 3rd day. And he only speaks Spanish. Well, his character does. We have a teaching record and everything. Our investigator´s name is Raul and we´ve already committed him to baptism and set a date with him. In broken Spanish, but he understood what we were saying. Also, I have to do a lot of the talking because even though I don´t know a lot, my French really helps me out and every other missonary in our district is really really really bad. But they will get better, and so will I. Oh, district. So there are 7 missionaries in our district and because of that, I am in a trio. I have 2 companions. Elder Clayson from Tooele Utah and Elder Larsen from Clifton Idaho. We got along fairly well. Our whole district is pretty close with each other. Everyone but me is going to the Mexico City South mission. I´m a little frustrated because I have to learn a completely different verb tense that nobody else does: vosotros. Anyway, that´s all I can fit in today. Hope to hear from you on DearElder, it´s free. ¡Adiós!

The Day Before

I get set apart today. I didn't know if I would even do a blog, or when I would set it up. But I guess now is as good a time as any. So, a little bit of info to start. I got my mission call on April 23, 2013 to the Spain Barcelona Mission. The MTC report date on my call was September 4th. I remember being very disappointed with how far away that date was. But here it is, right around the corner. Also in my call, I was told I was to report at the Madrid Spain MTC. If you have the chance to look it up, you will see that it is beautiful. It's right next to the temple, only holds 72 people, and they serve traditional Spanish food there instead of the typical MTC food. Now, I am rather upset because my visa hasn't arrived yet, so I will not be going to the Madrid MTC. At least, not yet. If I get my visa fairly quickly, they will send me over there, but as of tomorrow I am reporting to the Provo MTC instead. Don't get me wrong, I've seen the Provo MTC and heard many stories and it sounds great. I'm mainly just disappointed because I got all excited about the Spain MTC. Well, I can always hope the visa comes super quick. Anyways here are my addresses in case anyone cares to send me a lovely letter or a package of goodies or anything like that.
