This week was really great!!! I had a lot of good experiences this week.   This last Friday we had zone meeting and after zone meeting we had intercombios with the zone leaders.  I stayed in Sevilla with Elder Love and his companion went with Elder Wilson.  Sevilla was a great experience! It was the first time being out of my little area.  We had a couple of just super great lessons and one lady felt the spirit so much she was balling her eyes out.  I learned a lot with my time in Sevilla. It was so awesome getting to know the area and especially Elder Love!  He´s awesome, he´s from Arizona and we got along great.  When he teaches he is just super calm and relaxed which is something that I learned.  I learned that when I teach I tend to get super tense because I´m thinking about the language and what I'm going to say and all that.  So sometimes I just need to calm down and take a big breathe and let the spirit do the talking.

So I got home from intercombios Saturday afternoon and about an hour after I got home I got a phone call from president telling me happy birthday then telling me about Grandpa Goodman´s passing away.  It was the weirdest feeling knowing that it finally happened.. I've been preparing for this day to happen because I knew he didn't have too much time.  I knew that he was suffering here so he´s happier where he is now and was received with gladness by all of our family in heaven! I have thought a lot about the influence of G-pa and what a blessing he has been! I am so grateful for all the experiences I have had with him and I know that he is in a great place!!

We had a tough week if you look at the numbers but the lessons we had were quality! A couple investigators are getting close to wanting to be baptized and hopefully I´ll get to baptize with Elder Wilson before he goes home!  If not it´s not all about the numbers, but I really hope we can get a baptism.  Work here in Spain is hard but just have to have faith and be obedient!!

BEST P-DAY EVER today though!! We went paintballing! For me it was the first time I´ve ever gone paintballing and it was awesome! I have some pics but I´ll send more next week.  The people that went were the four missionaries in Cordoba, Adrian (presidents son), Aldo and his son Diego (Diego is a member but his dad isn´t so it was awesome we got Aldo out!), and Marta (a 16 year old less active).  SO FUN! We went because Elder Reid, one of the other Elders in the other companionship, is dying this week and going home to England. So he had a great last p-day and I´ll miss the guy a lot!

First transfer in the field almost in the books.  Time is flying by so fast!
