Well Málaga is UNREAL. I already had a baptism but I totally left
my camera home again. I used to be really good at that stuff but now
that I know I am going to see you so soon it just almost makes me
forget. So I promise that you will have the photos the next week. So I
got there on Wednesday and the next morning we go to teach this guy
named Maxi with a baptismal date for Saturday. We get there and he
starts crying. The poor kids parents just separated and they have been
married his whole life! Maxi is 27 years old so that was really hard on
him. I felt like I was there just to help him out because he needs
support and is a really sensitive guy. He is from Argentina and has
lived here for about 11 years. His whole family came to his baptism and
church the next day. His father, mother and little sister. We set
baptismal dates with the mom and daughter and the dad just is kind of
there. We are hoping that through the church they will be able to save
their marriage. So that is what is going on, I love people from
Argentina! Also we found a huge family of Cubans that all want to get
baptized and two of them came to church. I think out of all the Cubans
there is 9 people so we have some work to do there! Also we are
teaching a Spanish family. A mom and her three daughters. They are
really progressing and came to church last week but not this week. The
name of the mom is Inma and her daughters are Inma(18), Laura(11) and
Noelia(9). Great family and they really love the missionaries. One
thing though is that the oldest daughter is lesbian but really likes us
and gave me a DUFF beer from the Simpson's and made me carry it out. I
felt bad like rejecting her because it was a gift and she knows we wont
drink so that is why she gave it to me. So they are progressing and all
committed to be baptized. We are going to be setting a date with them
this next week.

So Elder Norton is from PG, Utah. Haha I was a little
off there. His name is Samuel Parker Norton. He is unreal and I love
him to death. He has crazy energy and I think it will be impossible for
him to make me mad. He just wants to help people and is just a great
missionary. He speaks great Spanish already and has been in the mission
for 9 months. So I think he has a pic of the baptism so I will send it
over to you.

So here is what I am thinking:
- Thursday we will be in Málaga and there is a party here I think that day
- Friday we will be at Gibralter and then go straight to Sevilla
- Saturday be there in the morning for a little then be at the baptism
- Sunday
go to church and leave right after or eat there in Jaén and go to
Cáceres. Really there is only one family there to see and maybe the
branch president.
- Monday go to Mérida and maybe go back to Caceres really shortly and then sleep up in Madrid
That is what I have thought up and you basically guessed it so ya!
I
love you all. These are really bad pictures but that is Maxi´s family
and I don´t have one of them and then me and the Norton.
