Hola Familia!!! 

Otra semana en la misión. Es la mejor. Es guay porque puedo hablar español y comunicarme con los trabajadores de las restaurantes mexicanas. Es lo que tú quieres mamá! 

Hoy fuimos a mercadillo (dígalo con un acento argentino!!!!) y compramos mucha fruta. Era muy barato!! Había mucha gente y nos perdimos un poquito pero todo salio bien. Creo que compramos 8 kilos de fruta....QUÉ RRRRRICCCAAAA. Muy barato...pagamos menos que 10€. 

Tenéis que utilizar el google translate o hablar con Jasón para que él lo traduzca. 

Today, we spent literally half our pday with a recent convert. She´s from brazil and her sister did our nails!! I have a french manicure :) they´re really pretty. 

My companion and I keep on receiving letters from people serving in different missions and how they are WATCHING THE WORLD CUP (with pres permission [or so we hope]). obviously we are both super jelly. sadly, spain has been done for awhile and USA played hard and well to the end, but unfortunetely, its just not in the blood for us! We were at a Brasilians house and they turned the game off when we came, but they gave us the shpill of everything and they were hoping that Argentina would lose, etc. We asked why and she said that apparently, the brasilians hate the argentinans!! Haha, i told her i was for Argentina (really i´m for Holland cuz they´re my ancestors and better looking and tall) 

Don´t worry, parents. I get along VERY well with Hermana Johns! She´s the greatest. Her sister is serving in paris france and knows elder miller very well!! they entered into the mtc the same day and everything. what a small world! we get that a lot here in the spain mission.

hermana johns and I have been trying to better our contacts in the street and to try and be exactly obedient also. It´s says a lot in preach my gospel that we need to be teaching about the restored gospel and a lot of times we do that, but we don´t put a big emphasis (oh gosh...how do you spell that?!?! dad correct it and then delete this message!!) on it. We´ve seen great little miracles everyday and it just shows the the Lord is definitely watching over us as we do this work here in Alcalá. 

we have slowly found out from the other missionaries and also what the bishop has told us, but the members here don´t really trust us as missionary. We´re trying to visit as many members as we can and try to gain some trust us. So far so good! The relief Society sisters are really good. they´re very willing to help! 

We have a little investigator named Ana maria. Shes from romania and has 8 months here. She´s a cutie and veeeeeeerrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy touchy. Like extremely. She´s 15 years old and kisses us on the cheek like 10 times each lesson. She´s reading well and likes what she reads. She can´t really concentrate very well (wow this brings back memories...) but we just end up teaching her like a little child. 

We celebrated the 4th of july by eating hot dogs and no bakes and rice krispies :) it was quite tastey :D yuummm

I love you family!!! Qué tenga una buena semana. Os quiero un MONTÓN. 

Cartas a mi piso, por favor?!?!?!?!?! Hermana Johns la recibe casi cada día. Porfa :D 

Podréis apuntar vuestras conversiones de la iglesia? cuando mama bert me la envió, me ayudó muchísimo. 

Siempre estéis en mis oraciones. 

con mucho cariño de vuestra hija, hermana y amiga
