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!

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 13th and 14th 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!)"
