It snowed! This morning we looked out the window and it was snowing!
Yesterday it got to -3ºC (like 26ºF) in the morning so it's finally
possible and it was a miracle. It all melted when it hit the ground but
it was snow nonetheless. It's a Tortilla Day miracle. Today is a
national holiday celebrating the Spanish tortilla and you can get free
tortillas in places and they have parties. Spain has a holiday for
everything. They enjoy getting off of work and school. It´s kind of
messed up that it snows on some random festival of comestibles and not
on Christmas, but I´m still happy for a little snow.
Oh, Frozen isn´t out of theaters? Awkward. Ya,
usually when people watch stuff it´s a file or off the internet. Hooray
for Spanish government! They do great things like all take vacation in
August or take a year to let people be married.
Thank
you for Moonlight Sonata, Mom! You sent the perfect number of pages. I
want to keep it fresh in my memory and also I am attempting to teach a
bit to my companion and other people. I´m also learning more hymns when I
have time. It´s not too often, but it still happens. Hopefully I´ll be
able to play in meetings soon.
Investigators!
I love them all so much. My companion described them like scoring in
sports. Here we´re like soccer where you have a few goals but when you
get a goal it is amazing. I´m still wondering what to write and what to
not write but here is what I´ll write. Our favorite Peruvian family
didn´t come to church but we later found out that they were in the
hospital and didn´t hate us. They´re fantastic people! We have two
Nigerians waiting to be baptized this week and they´re pretty dang
solid. One of them is great because she always answers our challenges to
obey commandments with a yes like it´s obvious. We have a few more on
the way and I´m really excited! I hope I get to stay one more transfer.
Yesterday we had a fantastically fantastic lesson with someone who was
on the fence about baptism but she got a nice shove to the right side of
the fence. The sister missionaries just had a baptism last week! We had
lots of people come and it all went marvelously. I had a fantastic day
of exchanges with Elder De Los Santos on Wednesday. He´s a boss.
Ah,
my Muslim friend. He deserves a decent paragraph. So these two nice
Arabic men were walking down the street after us and asked us where they
could learn English and so of course we directed them to our English
classes and they come and they are great! When that happened, their
other Arabic friend saw them and asked us if we believed in the bible
and if we would answer some of his questions. When he showed up he asked if he
could use a table because he brought a computer. That worried me but we
continued but he just wanted to fight. The way he fights is described
wonderfully by a phrase used by Riley. Pigeon Fighting. If you play
chess with a pigeon, it just knocks over a few pieces, poops on the
board and struts around like it has won. This guy was dishing out so
much stuff against the Bible but wouldn't listen to our answers. We shared
the Article of Faith about the Bible and left him with a Book of
Mormon. He came back with an "error" in the Book of Mormon that we had
heard before and we tried to read him Moroni´s Promise but it mentions
the word Adam so he went back into Genesis again and refused to pray for
an answer despite how much we talked about it. It was quite the couple
of lessons and there's so much more but you don´t need to hear about it.
It was so nuts. Sorry that that was long.
I
seem to have a food paragraph always so here it is. We ate some soup
called Caldo de Boda* yesterday and we drank juice from a fruit called
lulo.** It´s a new month so we get to go grocery shopping again! That´s
always exciting.
Sorry
that I don´t write as much about the investigators but they´re doing
well. I want to write more about them but I don´t. Maybe I´ll make up my
mind later. I hope you still enjoy the other stuff as well! We should
have lots of exciting news soon! Thanks so much for prayers and letters!
I miss you all and love you loads!
Os quiero,
Elder Morgan the Younger

**Lulo is also known as ‘Naranjilla’ or ‘little orange’ and grows on a bush. Lulo is native to the Andes mountains. The fruit has a leather like orange skin covered with a hairy fuzz. The inside looks like green tomato. The flesh has a pineapple-and-lemon taste and contains small, white edible seeds.
