Drum roll please!
I
got transferred down to Madrid! I pulled into town a couple of hours ago. I am very sad to leave Santiago and everyone
there. I am now in Barrio 4 with Elder Heslington from England! I am finishing
up his training. His accent is not too strong but it is fun to hear. It is
weird to know that this will be my last area.. My life right now kind of feels
like I did when I had 3 months before I left on the mission. I try not to think
about it too much. I am excited to see what goes down these last two
transfers!!
I
got your Christmas package :) I packed it with me back to Madrid. Thank you so
much! I haven’t opened up anything yet. I want to wait until the 25th. Sounds like we will be searching for a
members house to stay at for Christmas.
This
last week:
We helped
out a member with his yard. I mowed the lawn in the first time in a while. We
trimmed the bushes and trees and everything. It reminded me of the good Saturday
mornings when we did yard work.
Marcos,
the branch mission leader in Santiago, said when we come back up together to
give him a call. The Bujans are one of
my favorite families here that I have met!
It
was awesome to be able to be with Elder Molina! He was a hard worker and I
learned a lot from him. I feel like my Spanish has improved since I have been
with him. My new comp has only got about 3 months out from home so it will be
fun to help him out with learning Castellano.
Well
I love you all!! Have a great week and remember the true reason of
CHRISTmas.
Love,
Elder
Miles
