Letter #54

August 4, 2014

Transfer Day:)

It was sad to say goodbye to Talavera. I was there for 6 months and I became very close to the members and my investigators. I gave my testimony at church and let everyone know how grateful I was for everything.

This morning I took a train and 2 buses to get to my new area. President sent me back up north!! I am in Santiago de Compostela! I pulled into A Coruña today and then from there I met my comp, Elder Eskelson. I flew with him from home to Spain. We have been out the same time. He is from Logan, Utah. We worked together when I was in Madrid a couple times. It is so strange to be back up here again. I thought that I would never be able to see this place again, but I lucked out! I am back with my Gallegan People. Elder Harrop was also transfered but Elder Ávila is still in Talavera.

Thanks mom for sending Ávila a package. I am really grateful for that and I am sure that he will be as well. Don´t be surprised if he sends you an email in response. I am going to miss that guy. I have a home on his Island now:)

I am going to keep things short. David didn´t end up getting baptized. We went through a ton of hassle to get the baptismal font but it turns out that he needs a little bit more preparation. It’s a bummer that I was not able to see him get baptized but as long as he does I will be happy.

Love you all and I hope that you have an awesome week!

Elder Jayden Miles
