We'll come knock on your door, we've been waiting for you, where the scriptures are his and his and his, Three's company too!

Dear Everyone,
This week has been a good one. First of all, we had a good specialized training in Barcelona. I learned a lot of new things about working with members. When we got back, we went to visit a less active family who lives far, in a pueblo called Valls. They have a daughter of almost 3 years old who is quite a talker. Some of the things she said, I have no idea where she came up with them. Also this week they announced that Tortosa recieved permission from the Area Presidency to open a group their and stick missionaries there as well. I am excited when I see actual growth happening here. It´s sometimes hard to see in Canada or the States, but here it´s easy to see the growth of the Church taking off in Spain. Also something that was somewhat of a miracle. A lady came a couple of weeks ago to church on Sunday by accident. She was looking for the church where her friend´s daughter was going to be singing and ended up getting confused and showing up at ours. Emma, a super active and missionary minded member from our ward, invited her in and when her offer was declined, took down her number so that we could get in touch with this woman. We called her up and could never set anything firm up with her, but on Sunday she said it would be fine if we came over around 6. We went and brought with us our recent convert, Grau and she was super great. But the best part is, she had invited a lot of friends over at the same time and they all sat and listened to us teach about the Restoration. It was a great way to end a good week. Oh and something interesting. I´m currently in a trio (I have 2 companions). But it´s just temporary. Elder Ferrer´s (the one from Argentina) companion went to Murcia for a couple days to do paperwork for his Spanish nationality (he´s from Bolivia but has lived in Spain most of his life). It´s nice having a companion who can speak Spanish fluently, but I´m not a super huge fan of trios. Someone always gets left out in lessons. Oh something of note. A Brazilian guy from Torrevieja (in the south of Spain) came up to us on the street and said he´s a member. He was stopping by for a day and than catching a ride with someone from Tarragona to Germany to look for work. The funny part is, he served his mission in Madrid and actually lived in the same apartment as Elder Chris Smith from back home. The guy´s name is Fabio, but would have gone as Elder Cardoso.
