Well I have a lot of stuff to talk about! First of all, the transfer. I didn´t go anywhere (My address is the same) but they did something crazy. I am in the Barcelona 3 ward which had 4 elders and has two areas in its boundaries. There was me and Elder Young and another companionship. So we four elders split the ward. Well, President Hinckley combined the areas and put me with Elder Cranford, who already lived in the same apartment as me. So now we have the same amount of work and area with half the amount of elders! It is insane! Elder Cranford and I are in charge of 1/3 of Barcelona! If I remember correctly, Barcelona has about 7 million people in it. So, I know look over the biggest area in the Barcelona Spain Mission. I think we are ready for it though. There is a lot of work to be done! From what I hear, President Hinckley is going to try and keep elders in the same area for longer periods of time. About 4 transfers I think. There are also less missionaries these days just because there are less boys my age. So that means more work and a lot of help from the wards. A lot of crazy stuff happened last week. One day we walked outside and the Tour de France was going by our apartment haha. Maybe you saw me on TV uncle Cary! So that was pretty fun. A member also took us to a fancy restaurant on the coast. It was great! We are getting really close to setting a baptismal date with Marcos. He is excited about the church and just wants to learn more. Me and Elder Cranford also have a baptismal date set with someone from his area, which is now my area too. I´m sorry if this is confusing but I´m trying to rush through it! I hope everybody gets what I´m saying haha. Thank you all again for the letters and emails you send me. Your support means so much and I can´t help but smile when I read each of your letters with advice and love in them. Thank you and I love you. Hasta luego Love Elder Langston
