First of all, on monday for pday our district went to Sevilla, and we went to some beautiful gardens! It was free after a certain time, and right as we walked in it was nothing special, and we were like..okay...but then it turned into this gorgeous garden and it was wonderful! We took tons of pictures, i´ll have to send them to you! I love my district now, we have so much fun together. And it was also funny because as we were standing in line waiting, there was a couple who spoke english from holland behind us, and so we started talking to them about their lives and what they liked to do, and we also talked to them about why we´re here, and told them it was our ´´preparation day.´´ It was so funny because at the end of our conversation we asked the woman if she would like missionaries to come visit her in Holland, and she said no. So they we pulled out a ´´Gracias a que Él vive´´ card, (Because He Lives), and commited her to looking up the video when she got home. She laughed and was like, ´´I thought this was your day off!´´ and we laughed and told her we want to share it with everyone so really there are no days off. Haha it was funny and she was nice.
Then on Tuesday a senior couple came to our chapel and district meeting, and the other district in our zone came too, and after the meeting they made us waffles! But like..American waffles. It was wonderful. And they gave us sausage too, and links and it was the most american thing I´ve eaten in 16 months. It was soo fun and good. With peanut butter and...it just felt so home-y. It was a fun little tender mercy for all of us Americans I think. Not that I don´t enjoy the meat here in spain it´s just...different sometimes. Unique, you could say. Haha, i dont know if it´s actually unique or if it is just interesting to me because they have cured meat here that you can leave out of the fridge, which i´m sure we have there, but it´s just a lot more common here.
Then we did intercambios in Sevilla, and I got to be with Hna Garcia (the hermana i trained)! We had so much fun. But so much fun. I loved catching up with her! We had such a fun time!
Then on friday we went to a chinese buffet with a member named Gloria and her son Angel, for Gloria´s birthday. Gloria was inactive for many years, and she was recently reactivated and her son (who is 14) was baptized the week before I got here! They are absolutely wonderful, she´s like our adopted mother/best friend here. It´s so fun. And then i tried to sing ´´happy birthday´´ in chinese (like i think you taught me dad!) and the chinese lady told me i was wrong. It was awkward hahha but funny.
Then Saturday morning we had a good time! We went to help a family move, and we spent a solid hour going up and down stairs carrying heavy boxes and things of wood...it was exhausting but so fun! Then we got to clean and paint a little and we had a good time. They thanked us by feeding us colombian food after. And of course, we don´t need to recieve anything for our service...but Colombian food is so good that we weren´t going to turn it down!
Then on Friday President called us and asked us to speak in the concilio in Málaga (today). So wish us luck on that..should be fun. (All of the great opportunities the Lord is giving me to learn to love public speaking haha).
And yes, Evans is doing well! He will be getting baptized after general conference on Saturday night, if all goes well! So keep him in your prayers, and thank you for your prayers. I feel them and I know the Lord is listening!
Love, Hermana Miller
