Dear Everyone,
I got a new companion. His name is Elder Stratton, he is from Orem Utah and he is really really tall. He is 2 metres tall. He´s really good at golf and has a huge family. So far we haven´t met with a lot of people from the ward yet, so he´s still a little lost. We´re working on knocking doors in our area to find new people to teach. So this week, a member of the ward who had been serving in the Spain Málaga mission just finished his mission and came home this week. He is super keen on helping us all the time. Also speaking of members helping us, we were in a lesson and I got 2 missed calls from Gloria, the wife of recently-baptized Antonio who live out in Ontinyent. Seeing as she doesn´t have a lot of minutes with which to call, I figured it was an emergency and called her right back after the lesson finished. Turns out it wasn´t an emergency, she was just super excited because she had given a Book of Mormon to a friend. When we met with them this Saturday, she said she has always just kind of slid by whenever people talk about missionary work. She said she had always gone to church, to activities, on temple trips, and had done everything she was "supposed to do" in the Church, but she had never felt so happy as when she began to share the Gospel with first her husband and now her friends. Next thing we know, we´re going to have a branch out there. Well, maybe a while down the road. I´m really excited to be here in Gandía with Elder Stratton. Oh, something amusing. We were talking with people in the streets the other day and we see 2 homelss-looking guys come down the street with a gumball machine, you know, the kind that is common in the front of stores. Next thing we know, an undercover police officer comes running around the corner and begins to detain them, even though they were putting up a fuss. It´s not something you see all the time. Well, I love you all.
Élder Coleman
