Hey everybody! Yep transfers came and there were some changes. But not like I expected. I stayed here in Crevillente with Elder Paolinelli but that means I have a bigger change ahead of me. I´m changing missions. Haha I´m now a missionary in the Spain Málaga mission. Well not right now but as of July 1st I will be. President Hinckley left almost everything the same down here in the south. He only moved one missionary and that was because he called him as his assistant. So yeah, I´m changing missions! Its going to be an adventure thats for sure. It feels like I´m starting my mission all over again. I have a new mission president, I don´t know any of the missionaries, and I will have to learn a new system of doing things. Also, the Málaga mission has a different transfer cycle than the Barcelona mission. Their transfers are in three weeks which means this transfer will be really short! It also means my mission will be lengthened or shortened by 3 weeks. I´m not sure which yet. I´m really excited to meet the new mission president, President Clegg, but its also really hard for me to say goodbye to President Hinckley. He has taught me so much and I loved working under him. President Clegg was actually the mission president in the Spain Bilbao mission but since it got dissolved and the Málaga mission president was at the end of his time, he is now the president in Málaga. Or will be on July 1st. Its been a really interesting transfer. As I said earlier, we have transfers again in 3 weeks but since President Clegg will be new I´m not sure he will change anything here. That means I could be here in Crevillente for 9 more weeks! That would be by far the longest a missionary has been here haha. I already know the name of every single person in Crevillente and their dog haha! So yeah, thats my big news for the week. Also this is for you Dad. I was doing companion exchanges this week with the zone leader and I was in a city called Murcia. We were waiting for a train to come and some guy said ¨We´re going to follow the missionaries¨, but he said it in english. I turned around and asked him where he was from and he said...ST. GEORGE! Haha so I asked him his name and he said Stan Horlacher. I think thats how you spell it. I knew Horlacher sounded really familiar and he said you might know his uncle that is your age and he also has a brother named Rich. Then when I showed him the picture of you and mom and he said ¨Yep I know your dad and mom. I played softball with your dad and he´s really funny¨. Haha I can only imagine. I thought that was pretty crazy though. I told him to say hi if he sees you when he goes back home. Anyway, as for our investigators, José is doing really well. We had a family home evening last night in the branch presidents home with José and his family. It turned out really good so that made me happy. He should be baptized anytime now haha. I don´t have much else to report. Its been a crazy couple of days and I´m still trying to figure it all out. I know God lives and this is His work! I never thought I would change missions but I´ll go where He wants me to go. I love you all and I hope you have a great week.
Love, Elder Langston
