¡Hola!
I'm writing this week from Lorca, a town a little North of
Huércal. It is in the Murcia province, which is cool because we leave
Andalucia to come here. Most of the mission is within Andalucia. We have
been here a few times this week to do splits, have a zone conference,
and now to spend P-Day with the Elders here. There was a huge earthquake
here in May or June and there is still a lot of damage to a lot of the
buildings. The entry way to their piso is still just absolutely
destroyed, as well as their capilla. Spanish buildings are definitely
not built for earthquakes.
We finished another transfer this week. I can hardly believe that
Elder Marchello got here 6 weeks ago. Thankfully there are no changes
for us this time around, so I'll be here until at least the end of
January! I'll be serving as our new district leader, so that will be an
interesting new responsibility. And the weather report from
Huércal-Overa? REALLY cold! At night we get our room pretty toasty with
our space heater, but it is definitely getting harder and harder to get
out of bed and open that door in the morning. Definitely makes me
grateful for things like carpet and central heating and insulation!
We had quite the Christmas-ey week this week. On Friday we had a
ward activity and all had dinner together and listened to a few short
Christmas messages. Santa Claus made an appearance too....and guess who
had the privilege of being Papa Noel? Yep, that's right, I did! Haha it
was great fun. I'm not really sure how the missionaries became the
first candidates for it, but we did. We also embarked on the great
Spanish cookie baking quest again this week and made real Christmas
cookies. They turned out quite well, actually, and blew everyone in the
branch away. We had a lot of our investigators come as well and they
enjoyed it a lot. Overall it was a great success and tons of fun!
Well, sorry this has been kind of short this week.I know that God
knows all things and has a perfect plan for every one of us. I hope we
can all have faith in him and follow those things that he asks us to do.
I know the church is true and that Christ is at its head.
Have a great week! I love you!!!
Elder Mockler
