July 5, 2014 Sevilla Zone Conference

 

 I found this picture on the Malaga Blog. Eating at Zone Conference in Sevilla. On Elder Kiffe's left is a previous companion Elder Whitworth. On his right is a previous companion Elder Chumbipuma. Across the table from Elder Chumbipuma is Elder Patterson, Levi's companion in the MTC. Looks like a great day!!!!

Elder Kiffe's current companion is at the head of the table pointing at us, Elder Pomazon.

New Companion and District Leader

"Elder Pomazón is from Perú but has lived in a town outside of Madrid for almost 10 years now. His birthday was this Friday, he turned...27!!! The oldest Elder in the mission! But he doesn´t really look that old. He has about 10 months in the mission, he works really hard and has many great ideas. I´m very excited to have a native companion again! Elder Pomazón knows how to cook."

"I´m going to be District leader. The first time on my mission! Its only a district of four though.

As district leader, every Sunday night I talk to our zone leaders about how our week was, and about how the sisters did (I call the sisters before) and every week that we don´t have a zone conference. We have a meeting in the chapel of Córdoba and I direct it and try to help out the district." 

Food experiences and 2 random pictures

"I felt achy, weak and had a headache last night so I went to sleep early and I also took another nap today, but I still feel really tired. Then from Tuesday to Thursday I had diarrhea from food poisoning...so I didn´t work.  I´m almost positive that I got sick from leftover Bolivian food (piquemacho) that we ate in Sevilla after a zone conference."

Did you notice Henry Barrow in the corner of the picture behind Elder Kiffe?

Elder Kiffe must be feeling better. He's having toast and water!

  "And we also ate snails! Don´t taste like much really, just a little freaky to eat, hahaha."

 "Elder Warburton and I tried our hand at tortilla de patata two times this past week, they turned out pretty good, the potatoes were just slightly ¨al dente¨. "

Elder Kiffe didn't explain this picture. Not sure what this is.

May 18, 2014 Rode on the Bullet Train

  I love that smiling handsome missionary!!!

Elder Kiffe had to go to Malaga to renew his permit to be in Spain. He got to ride the Bullet Train.

This is a screen in the train that lets you know where you are, how fast you are traveling, what time it is and the temperature out side.

20:13 (8:13 pm)

295 km/h (183.3 mph)

32 C (89.6 F)

"By the way, the bullet train hit 300km/h (186mph!) It was awesome, and super smooth."

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!
