The rains came down and the floods came up!

Dear Everyone,
Transfers just happened. I´m still here in Tarragona. My companion Elder Frederich got transferred to Huesca, which is a huge honor because the area just opened to missionaries a transfer ago. It doesn´t even have a branch there. All the work he does there will go into establishing the beginings of a branch. My new companion is Elder Green. He´s from Gilbert Arizona, and I´m excited to work with him. We already have lots of people we are working with. Grau, our investigator, got baptized on Friday! He is so great. He even made his own baptismal programs. I´ll include pictures. Well as I´m typing right now, it´s pouring rain. It´s just dumping rain. It usually doesn´t rain here, but I´m worried about how we´re going to get back to our apartment without getting 100% soaked. Yesterday we went to a camp out with the ward. We didn´t really camp out, we just showed up at the ward campout for 2 or 3 hours and those who were leaving said goodbye. Also about a week ago, we had a family home evening at a member´s house with Grau before he got baptized. It was great, we had some great food. I tried whole sardines for the first time with the head and everything. But as we are getting ready to go, it starts just pouring and there is thunder and lightning is striking every 5 seconds. One of the family members goes down to the basement to check things out and comes up yelling "se están cayendo granizones" which means huge hail stones are falling. We went downstairs and sure enough, the garage door was being pounded in by hailstones. When they opened the door to look at the hail, however, a flood of water entered the garage and we had to sweep/shovel it out. Anyway, that´s about all for this week. 

Love Élder Coleman
