April 6, 2014 First pictures from Cordoba

Elder Kiffe and his new companion Elder Warburton.

Córdoba is very pretty, super flat (no mountains or hills) very big (the biggest city and area I´ve had so far on my mission. We are always taking the city buses. Cordoba is one of the oldest cities in Europe. There are ruins of a Roman temple here from around the times of Christ. and VERY catholic. I´ve never seen so many big catholic churches so close together! This morning we went to the mosque of Cordoba. When the Spanish took control of Spain again, they built a cathedral inside the mosque and added a ton of catholic pictures and stuff. I think the mosque itself was made somewhere between 500-800 ad! 

 Every door will be knocked in Cordoba!

March 16, 2013 Baptism and Visit to Cocentaina

 

Elders Whitworth, Kiffe, Harman and Quinn

This is Elder Kiffe's first baptism from beginning to end. 

He found her, taught her and was there for the baptism!

 "...Lucia was baptized and confirmed! A 91 year old member baptized her 

(I was in the font to help a little)."

 

 Keeping a watchful eye over the town is the Castillo, a recently restored castle. More a castle tower really, this emblem of Cocentaina was built in the first Gothic military style sometime between the 13^th and 14^th centuries.

 Haha!

 Amazing view

February 17, 2014 Alcoi and Benidorm

An official picture of Elder Kiffe with his new companion Elder Whitworth.

"We went to Benidorm this week to help the Hermanas find more people there. It´s called Little New York. It has very tall apartments and hotels right on the beach. A member drove us through the wilderness on an extremely curvy road to get to Benidorm. And we all almost threw up. It´s weird to be in a car after such a long time (especially on a windy route!)"

February 10, 2014 Alcoi

"We climbed up a mountain to a cross today and it was snowing a little bit up there on top! (it was extremely cold)"

Pictures from Alcoi

 View from Levi's apartment.
  "Alcoy is really cool. It´s in a foresty kind of slightly mountainous area, and its quite cold
 a huge change from Algeciras"
"Almost everything here is in a language/dialect called Valenciano. Because its a smallish town, a lot of people speak it, but everyone still speaks Spanish too."

Another view from his apartment.

I don't know what this is.

What a beautiful picture! Not sure what we are looking at (except Elder Kiffe of course).

Beans? Or maybe it's the chocolate pudding I sent him for Christmas!

Not sure what this is!

Baptism in Alcoi January 25. The young man was baptized by his brother.

 Stake Conference in Elche. February 1 and 2. Levi got to go back to his first area and " Being able to go to Elche was WONDERFUL! It was literally like returning home after a long trip! I got to say hi to so many great ward members."

Out side the chapel in Elche.

Baptism in Algeciras

This baptism took place January 11, 2014. Levi was transferred out of the area on January 8. Even though he wasn't there for the baptism. Levi was instrumental in re-activating and teaching this family. The little girl had wanted her Dad to be able to baptize her, but from the picture it looks like Elder Proctor did the baptizing.
