Preston's Mission: 2014....The best is yet to be!

Dear Everyone,

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and that everyone is excited for New Years! I know I am. Especially because 2014 is the year where I will be a missionary for the entire year. From day first to day last, I will be on a mission serving the Lord. So, some news. It isn´t really exciting to anyone back home, but I got my residency here in Spain! I have to go tomorrow to Barcelona to pick up my DNI, the residency card. It´s exciting to me for a few reasons. One, I won´t have to carry my passport with my whenever I want to use my credit card, because they ask for either your DNI or passport. Also, I can go get registered at the city hall here in Palma and with that I get a bus card which makes riding the bus cheaper. So far, since being here in Palma, I have spent 42€ on bus rides. It all gets reimbursed by the mission, but that´s still a lot of money. Some more news is we´ve been finding new investigators like crazy. We found a few people knocking doors, an older Spaniard man, a 19 year old Argentine boy, and in the same apartment we found a potential investigator with a blonde girl from the Canary Islands that I honestly thought was American until she started talking. We also found a Cuban family that has been taught by the missionaries last year, but got really busy and the missionaries dropped them. But now they are available again. They have 2 kids and they are a really friendly family. We are also finding Phillipino investigators like crazy as well. Well, I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope everyone has some good New Years resolutions.
