Hey family,

| Me and Peterson brushing our teeth |
Well this last week was really fun and I got to go to the mission
home and see friends! I got to see Elder Manning and Elder Peterson
which is always good. I love those two with all my heart. Yes mother
make sure that we don´t schedule mine and Elder Manning's homecoming the
same day because I have to go to his. So the trainers training was
great and we learned a lot. After that the next day which was Thursday I
got to do a 24 hour split with my father Elder Shaver! It was so good
and we teach really well together. It is almost like he taught me how
to be a missionary. It was really fun to teach and do missionary work
with him because I can speak Spanish and he told me I really
surprised him how much I have grown. I am no where near perfect and not
a perfect missionary but I can say I have tried my hardest thus far in
my mission. I plan to continue like that and even harder until I die.
It was really good to see you all together with Rachel she looks great.
That little smile on her face makes me feel a lot better, but I am
still torn up inside. I know Elder Manning is really sad as well. I got
to talk to him the next day I found out and he gave me a big hug. I
really love that little girl. Elder Manning and I both fasted this last
weekend for her and she is in all my daily prayers. I ask God "que
protejas a mi hermanita Rachel y que la consueles por favor" and I say
more stuff but I always ask him that. It means to protect my little
sister Rachel and console her please. I know she is doing good and
there are many people praying for her at home and here in Spain. I
also put here name in the temple in Madrid. You can call and give names
I didn´t know that.

So this week we weren´t here very long in our area but we saw some
miracles. A less active family came to our baptism last week and we
taught their little kids that want to get baptized too. So two new
people that can get baptized. Their names are Rocio and Miguel Angel. I
really don´t know a lot about them because I was in Granada with Elder
Shaver. Also we found like 8 ladies from Paraguay and my companion is
pretty excited. Their names are Nancy, Nancy, Blanca, Emi, Gladis and I
really can´t remember the rest of them because we have only taught them
once. They are good though and made us food! Blanca was out of town
this weekend, so we didn´t teach her. However we have been keeping in
good contact and tonight we are going to teach her with Rosana and
Sebastian in their home. It will be a great lesson and I am positive
that Blanca from El Salvador will get baptized. She is another really
special spirit.
Yesterday was an interesting day because we gave over 10 blessings
and blessed two homes. There is a family here that has a lot of
problems and is kinda a rough family in the terms of smoking, tattoos
and so on. So we blessed every member of the family and the mom loves
me and the 18 year old daughter. The mom asked me to bless the home so
that was a first for me; and then I blessed the dad, a little boy and
the 18 year old daughter María. We have been teaching her here and
there because she isn´t a member. She is really cool though and I
really feel bad for the direction of her life, it worries me.

So that
is about all that has happened this week. I am doing well and things
with Elder Rojas are a lot better. I am not sure if it is me being more
patient or him changing. I hope it´s a little of both. Oh so Elder
Banbury is the new comp of Elder Shaver as a Zone Leader. I am super
EXCITED.
