Hey everyone! Transfers came and no I´m not going to Italy. My new companion is Italian and I stayed here in Crevillente. I guess the Lord has something more for me to do here. Or maybe President Hinckley just wants to send me off to the Málaga mission haha. Actually that won´t happen until next transfer. So if I stay here one more time...bye bye Barcelona. But I´m really excited to get my new companion. His name is Elder Paolinelli. I don´t remember how to spell his name but I already know him. He was in my district when I entered the mission and I actually taught my first lesson to investigators with him on exchanges. We get along really well. He always told me I´m the best and that I would be a leader for everybody haha. I love the kid. He doesn´t speak english so I will be speaking spanish almost always. I have to help him learn english though so there will be some breaks here and there. And you better believe I´m going to take advantage of his italian. I want to learn as many languages as I can! He also speaks Portuguese. Ok now I´ll talk about the work in Crevillente. We didn´t find any new investigators and still can´t get ahold of Derlis but we did have an appointment with Lorena. We challenged her to baptism and she said that its a little soon to talk about that. In this mission we always challenge baptism right off the bat. She is really sincere and I know she has felt the spirit so we are going to keep working with her. The only problem is she didn´t show up to church and she said she was going to come with a member. We also had another appointment set up for Sunday and she wasn´t there and wouldn´t answer her phone. I hope she isn´t just avoiding us. That would make me feel really bad because I know she has felt something and this is what she needs. Well I don´t have much more to report. Things are a little slow right now but I guess that means I need to make things happen right? I know everything depends on the Lords will but I need to show my faith by working hard and acting like everything depends on me. I have been reminding myself that a lot lately. I love you all so much. Thanks for everything again. I know God lives and that feeling His spirit is the best thing in the world. Its something we should always strive to feel. I hope you all have a great week. Toodles
Love, Elder Langston
