Hey everybody. Well I am being transferred today but I don´t leave until 3 so I am doing my email before I leave. I am going to a little town called Crevillente clear down in southern Spain. I am going to take a 6 hour train ride today haha. I´m excited but really nervous. I´m not sure what to expect. I´ve heard my companion is about six foot eight and is a black belt in karate. I´ve pretty much given up all hope of being bigger and tougher than any of my companions. Oh well haha. It was so nice talking to all you guys on Christmas! It was kind of hard to hang up but I loved every minute of it. I still have my same habit of pacing mom. I was pacing around the chapel while by companion was on the phone for about the last 15 minutes. I know I´m weird. You can thank Dad. Silvia´s baptism was perfect! It was the most spiritual one I have been to by far in the mission. She is so prepared. Once again she bore her simple but sincere testimony that had everybody crying. She said it was hard for her to not have her husband or the rest of her kids there to support her but she hopes they will follow in her footsteps. She is an amazing lady. She didn´t care if she had support from her family because she knew it was right and nothing was going to stop her. I thought it was a great lesson. Never let anything get in your way to do what is right. Nothing. It sure was hard to say goodbye to all the members last night. When I went to say goodbye to the family I spent Christmas with they had like a family home evening dedicated to me haha. But really it was sweet of them. The dad asked me to share my testimony and by the time he shared his he was crying. I got really close to that family. Oh mom, he said he is expecting us to go over there on my last monday in the mission to eat with them ok? After we said goodbye to them we went to my ward mission leaders house with Jesus and Vanessa. Vanessa pulled a bunch of gifts out of nowhere! I wasn´t expecting that. She bought me some cologne and a bunch of other stuff. I´m going to miss everybody from this ward so much. They have become my family away from home but now its time to go. I hope I can build up the trust and love from the members in my new area so the work can go even better. Well everybody I love you so much. Thanks for all you do. Happy Holidays and I love you.> > Love, Elder Langston
