Hi!! So my email is going to be super short because we just talked yesterday and I don't have much time to write. The new area Tarragona is beautiful!! It's right on the beach and it has so much roman history. They say there are tons of places to explore so I'm actually super excited. It's much bigger than Martorell so that'll be a nice change. The ward is apparently huge and a lot of missionaries today told me that Tarragona was their favorite area. Im ready to start again and make my mark here in Tarragona. (Tarragona is 63 miles south of Barcelona located directly on the coast. Martorell, where Rachel has been serving, is 24 miles East of Barcelona).
Transfers were super hard on Sunday. After we skyped, Carolina and Roberto drove us back to our piso. Carolina tried to walk away like it was no big deal, but she turned around and came back and gave me a huge hug and just cried. It was so cute. I seriously love that family so much. As you can see, im being well taken care of here in Spain. (We met Carolina and Roberto and their family on Sunday as Rachel was Skyping from their home. Carolina is the cook for President Pace, the Barcelona Mission President. They have adopted Rachel as their "American" daughter. It was so very sweet to see their interaction with her and the love they have for her was very apparent).
As for last week its all kindof a blur because of transfers, haah but I'm doing well. I'm ready to work hard. I'm going to be better when the sun comes to stay because it's getting cold again!! Boo!
Sorry I don't have much for you this week. Transfers kind of screw everything up. Hopefully though I'll have more for you next week!! I'm glad all is well in Danville. It looks like everyone is happy. Kelli and the baby (baby bump) are sooo cute!! hahaah
Rachel and the other missionaries in her area participated in "Mormon Helping Hands" They cleaned up the river in their city. This a day set aside to give service to the community. Latter Day Saint members work side by side with other community volunteers. This is a worldwide project, organized by the LDS church. To read more about "Mormon Helping Hands" and to see projects that were done in other countries and across the US click here.
Love you all!!
