Walking about, seeking whom he may devour

From what i can remember:

- Sábado

The ward did a fire primary activity. "Missionary for a day" Elder Romrell and I helped with the "MTC" portion. It was cool for me to think that I am an example for the youf.

- Domingo

We had many great lessons on Sunday. Includong a lady from Gabón, Africa (shout out to Elder Rencher for going back out on the mission) and I studied about temptations. Here's a fire scripture, 1 Peter 5:8 "be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" -kanye. I think my memory has gotten better, I recently have been memorizing and remembering things easily lol.

- hoy: today we played sports for combined Zone Pday, it was so fun. The mission rented out a turf soccer feild in the center of Madrid from noon-4. It was a scorching hot day, my bod is sun burnt fr but I loved playing fútbol with the misionaries. I still love fútbol fr. Got to see Élderes Miranda, Hill, Nelson. 3 of my ñast comps

Love,

Haircut

Hi friends, I'm here with my partner Elder Roddy at a hair salon near our house, I'm very excited about this haircut, I've been doing my own haircuts for about 6 months. I can do it well, but when I do it only for so long I need a factory reset.  

 

We received news of transfers this week, I am going to stay in Torrejón de Ardoz and Elder Roddy is going to the Canary  Islands and Elder Romrell will be my companion, litty.  

 

He made two exchanges this week. In first with Elder Ostler in downtown Madrid, I learned many good things. I really enjoyed this exchange. And then an exchange with Elder Madsen in Torrejón, we had some good lessons and I learned a lot from him. 

 

 I hope everyone has a great week. I wrote this email in Spanish and then Google Translate translated it.

Shoutout Cooper for grating and Kade Griffiths for returning from the mission.

Love, Elder Ditto

I Just Hit ONE Year!!!

We had a fire Zone pday in Torrejon. 

Zone P-day!!!

Crockpot rice was a fail

Elder Roddy and I took the pleasure of cooking meat, rice, and beans for 24 missionaries. The meat was easy, the beans were easy, the rice though...that was not easy. We tried at first cooking the rice in the crockpot, but that didn't work like that, so this morning we quickly whipped up some mid-rice.  Good news...my mom sent me Taco Seasoning so the tacos were still gas. We played soccer, and volleyball, and did a water balloon fight and water gun fight mas o menos. Super lit, it was really hot outside so it felt good and everyone had a good time. 

A chaval named Johnny Appleseed (code name) got baptized on Saturday, and a recent convert named Philip baptized him. Elder Rod Wave and I planned the whole baptism out 5 days before it happened. However, there were still at least two things that didn't go as planned (we forgot to assign a music director and one of the people who was gonna give a talk couldn't come, and the baptismal clothing was too small for both of them) so I guess three things didn't go as planned. 

So with 10 minutes' notice, I tried to think of a good talk about the Holy Ghost for Johnny Appleseed.  I ended up talking about Ratatouille - how Remi controlled Linguini (what a classic analogy) and I was told this at one point, but I forgot until after the baptism when Johnny told me that his favorite movie is Ratatouille. The Holy Ghost clutched up! After the baptism the ward finally pulled up, to watch the Champion's League final. lol there were MANY more people at the Champions League vs the baptism. HALA MADRID vamos chavalinos, madrid is the best.

Other highlights:

- I hit a year

- did 2 exchanges

- I love teaching about the gospel

- Time to grind, smartly

Love,
