New and last Companion

"Today is the first day of my last transfer of the mission! I really can´t believe that this is the beginning of the end! Elder Briki will be going to Lorca on Wednesday and my new and last companion is Elder Alomia. He is from Colombia but lives in Mallorca for the past 7 years (islands of Spain in the Mediterranean sea). I acutally replaced him when I came to Córdoba and he ¨killed¨ my old companion Elder Mendoza as well! So we are connected in the mission, haha. His parents came in contact with the church when he was 2, so he got baptized when he was 8. He´s 25 right now. He´s a great Elder and I´m grateful that I will finish out the mission with him. He finishes his mission in May."

 "We had a fun/late Halloween party in the branch on Saturday. The district president is a professional cake/other stuff maker and made a really tasty cake for the party."

 Truco Trato = Trick or Treat

Fiesta of the Nations

 "We had a District activity in Alcázar de San Juan. It was a fiesta of the nations. Everyone made food and talked about where they are from. We sang the national anthem and some missionaries brought fried chicken, haha. It was cool"

 

I found this one on the Malaga blog.

 Missionaries in La Mancha get a little crazy after a while...

 Package from home! His Mom sure loves him! $38.95 to send him a few treats from home!!!

New nephew pictures from home!

Ciudad Real Conference

I got this off the Malaga Blog

A picture from last week's District Conference held in Ciudad Real. Attendance was 90.

" We had a wonderful District Conference and an Area Seventy ¨Patrick M. Boutoille¨ from France came and spoke Saturday and Sunday. He spoke English as well so President Deere and another church leader took turns translating for him, it was an amazing conference."

New Companion, New City

"I'm in Ciudad Real now. I took a speed train to it, in about 1 hour from Córdoba, that was nice. Ciudad Real is basically a pueblo (little town). The branch attendance yesterday was 21, my comp said it´s normally 15. In other words its very very small. We bless the sacrament and every week my comp and I take turns teaching Sunday school. It´s very different."

 "His name is Elder Briki, and he´s from Gandía (Valencia) He was baptized in 2010 when he was 18 years old because his parents didn´t want him to be baptized. His dad is Moroccan and Muslim. He´s got a pretty interesting conversion just because his family is totally against it, I respect him a lot for making the decision he did."

 

 "The last picture is me holding Arabic money left over from the last Elder. He lives in UAE because his father is a consultant for a prince or something crazy, with the family proclamation in Arabic on the wall"

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."
