Let me start of with saying Merry Christmas to everyone!!! I am loving it here in Córdoba. This week was really busy.  On Wednesday we had a tri-zone so president came down and talked with all of us in Sevilla.  It was awesome! He talked to us about what happened in the Málaga Mission in 2014.  We had 419 baptisms (now more because that was as of last week) in 2014! And our goal for 2015 is to have 500+! It´s definitely something we can achieve and I hope I can contribute to reaching this upcoming year!  President also gave a good lesson on Self Reliance.  He talked a lot about how we need to learn how to use our money and how we need to live within our means.  He knows a lot about money! So he gave us some really good tips that I can use on my mish and also after! Then after the zone meeting we had a talent show and it was so fun! Me and Elder Wilson did a skit about missionaries who can never get along (we know a lot about how that looks like lol jkjkjkjk) and it went really well! Definitely got a few people to laugh.... I think...

So that took almost all day Wednesday, and Thursday I went to Málaga to get my residency.  It was the first time on the mission I´ve traveled all by myself I was a little nervous because I was in a country where I don´t really know anything but really it wasn´t bad at all.  So I made it safe and sound and spent the night at the mission home with all the people that were in my same group at the MTC! So it was really good to see them and catch up and everything.  So Friday after we got a residency we went back home.  And on the train ride home this absolutely stunning Española sits next to me.  I started talking with her and I ended up telling her the whole story of Joseph Smith and the restoration. I bore some solid testimony and I gave her a book of mormon and she was really interested and wanted to learn more! ! I talked with her basically the whole train ride and I was able to give a lesson in spanish without a companion helping me out! I really felt the gift of tongues in effect when I was talking with her. By the way her name is Glicia, and she lives in Madrid so hopefully something happens with that.

Then Saturday we had our branch Christmas party! And we were there all afternoon and for a small little branch to have an activity like there was it was amazing! Plenty of food and after they had a little talent show as well.  Me and Elder Wilson only saw a little bit of it but it but it was a great activity!  

On Sunday we had a couple investigators at Church! We had Andres the 13 year old and a man named Carlos.  It was a great week this week and I can´t wait to talk to my family on Christmas!! So excited and love you all!
