Hello! So finally finished the best month in a half with my boy from
Canada Elder Lowry.  It was such a fun transfer. We called it a "6
week interchange" because it's basically all just a big blur and we
were just running all over the place haha. So Monday night the
Columbian investigators and some cool members we all went out to eat
(tapear).  It was sad to say good by to people I had gotten so close
with but it won't be a good bye for forever I'm sure.

So Tuesday morning I left to Malaga and got to meet my new trainee!
And guess what he's from Holiday Utah haha. He just graduated from
Cottonwood high school his name is Elder Samuel Hirst.  He's a way
cool guy! He is tall and super skinny. I'm going to get him on this
work out (body beast!) plan and we're going to go to a fitness store
and by some protein and stuff haha. He's super smart he was valid
Victorian and sterling scholar and all that. He speaks pretty well for
a noobie but he doesn't understand anything just yet haha.  It's weird
training and reopening an area because the first week I feel like I
was kind of worried more about learning the area and stuff.

But Cadiz is SOOO pretty!! It's one of the oldest cities in Europe and
our apartment is right in the middle of the old part haha so it's fun.
Cadiz is basically a little island and the streets are SO small. When
you get lost in the middle you just take a street and keep walking
until you get to the end of the island haha.  But everyone here in
Cadiz talks super fast it's a little hard to adjust but I can
understand everything. It's kind of weird because the word for "dude"
or "bro" here is they say swear words. It's literally just not
offensive here.  People told me that but I didn't believe but yep
contact a guy and he replies "hey what's up ******" I'll probably get
used to it and maybe start calling other people stuff who knows haha.

Well Cadiz is probably the prettiest area in the mish so I got super
lucky! Literally all of my areas have been really pretty. But the ward
here is supposed to be really good so I'm way excited!
