Poor Piggy #239…

Ok, my last emails for a long time have been pretty vague, so this email i will try to let you in a little bit into the mind of "Elder Hunt" and explain a little bit of how I´ve been doing as a missionary.

Well, I love Elche. This place is the best. I have been able to experience 7 miracles (baptisms rather) since I´ve been here. I have a great ward that loves to help the missionaries out. They always want to feed us but more importantly, they give us lots of references. Its been a great place to work.

My companion Elder Triana is hilarious and we have been working well together. I didn´t even realize it today, but it´s been a long time since I´ve had a real conversation in English. Its been all Spanish for a long time now. It´s been great and I am so grateful that I can advance my speaking skills.

Lets see..what else...haha. I really feel that I´ve become so "naturalized" or something to the mission that I don´t know what you would want to hear about!

Food is always good right?! the other day we had some weird dish from Ecuador. It was basically grilled popcorn kernels with potatoes. It was REALLY dry. But the "best" part was the fried pig skins. I  dunno, It´s not too weird, like, we´ve got pork rinds or whatever they are called back home, but one, I wonder where they got these pig skins, and two, my piece had the number of pig on it. He was number 239. Poor piggy number 239. The weirdest food I´ve ever eaten has been from Ecuador.

This past week we found an excommunicated member that we didn´t know was X´d. but we are teaching her family, and the daughter brought a friend to hear the lessons so now we are teaching the friend. She is from France, but raised in Spain. We ended up finding out that back in France a friend gave her dad a book of Mormon but he never did anything with it. But we have a lesson planned with her tonight, she´s gonna have a baptismal date for sure. She is super ready!

Yesterday, we talked to the boy-friend of Sandra (recent convert from a few weeks ago) and he accepted the invitation to be baptized on the 25 of this month. He smokes a lot so that will be our biggest obstacle to overcome. He has already been to the church a few times and told us yesterday that he wants in, like, now. It´s been very exciting!

So as you can see, I´m just going along I guess. Doing the missionary thing and loving it.

¿¡Os quiero mucho eh!?
