Well, here I am in Huércal-Overa! It
is a little desert town in basically the middle of nowhere. It took me
12 hours to get here from Algeciras...sitting on a bus for that long is
not very fun. It was good to get to see a lot of Spanish cities on the
way, though. We drove through Almuñecar which is absolutely beautiful. I
get to do it again tomorrow to go to Cádiz and pick up my ID card that
inconveniently enough wasn't ready until about 5 days after I got here.
And then I come home on Wednesday. So I'll have a lot of time sitting on
the bus this week. Should be interesting.
So my new address is:
Elder Andy Mockler
C\ Silvestre Martinez de Haro 21, 2ºB
Huércal-Overa 04600 (Almeria)
España
The mail here works great so feel free to send me anything :). I think I'll probably be here until at least January.
Huércal is a really small pueblo. It is definitely a
lot easier to get from investigator to investigator here - the longest
walk from one side of the town to the other is probably 20 minutes max.
And there are no hills, which is a nice break after Algeciras. We are
teaching a lot and my companion - Elder Ferguson - is a great teacher.
He has been out for almost a year and a half, so together we are just
about "one whole missionary." We are pretty different but we make a
really good combo. The branch here was opened the week I went into the
MTC, so it is very young, but it is growing super fast. We have already
outgrown the capilla they have here and after our next baptism we'll
probably be petitioning a building. It is a great area to be in!
I hope all of you are doing well! The Lord knows us
and his plan for us - he is always thinking and caring for us. It is up
to us to pick his path and enjoy what he has prepared for us. The cliché
is "everything in the Lord's time," but it is true - He knows the best
for us, not just with an immediate perspective but rather with an
eternal perspective. I'm grateful for that knowledge and the peace and
comfort I have in my life knowing my purpose and the blessings I am and
will receive.
¡Os quiero! ¡Que tengais una buena semana!
Elder Mockler
