Well we had a awesome conversation with a Spanish investigator
about Spanish history. She told us about the flag, what it all means,
where the royalty comes from (the Bourbons) and stuff like that. I
finally found out why Spain is called Spain! It comes from the Iberian
word Ispaja (Ee-SPA-ha) which is rabbit and there are a ton of rabbits
around here. The Romans turned that into "Hispania" which turned to
"España" which we made into "Spain." We also learned about culture and
jazz like that. And she said it makes sense that our Spanish ancestors
left from Cádiz because that´s where most people left from.
Oh
my it is so dang hot. I remember this now. There was about to be a riot
in church because we all met together for the 5th-Sunday class and it
was crowded and really hot and they went over time and people were
flipping biscuits. I was on the point of bursting into flames in my
suit. Thankfully I get to bail midway through summer. As much as I will
miss the mission, I will not miss hot summer days in the streets all
day. We had more lessons fail than usual. It sucks but oh well.
On
the subject of little children saying stuff, a little kid told us that
his family was in heaven. His grandma and his uncles and aunts and his
brothers. I was so shocked and sad until his parents clarified that they
had simply gone on a plane back to Bolivia but he didn´t really
understand. Sky and heaven are the same word, "Cielo" (Thee-EH-lo. Yes,
like that Danny).
Also, this woman who loves
making things passed me plans to make things like green houses and gardens on a
fence and wind turbines from scratch. I´m sure you guys will love to
see them. Although I´ll have to translate.
Yep,
I´m excited for June but it´s also so weird to be in June. And we just
found a Filipino man named June. Anyways, I love you all and miss you
loads!
Os quiero,
Elder Morgan
