Hi everybody! Yep its true. I got transferred again! I wasn´t really expecting it but thats ok. Now I´m in San Fernando which is down on the southern coast. So far I really like it. I got here last night but so far so good. My apartment is a palace! I seriously feel spoiled. We have a dishwasher and a dryer! I never thought I´d see the day haha. Its really big with tall ceilings too. I don´t feel like I´m in Spain when I´m in there. I´m not complaining though because its pretty sweet. I like my companion a lot too. He came from the Barcelona mission as well. His name is Elder Velasquez and he´s from Ecuador but he has lived in the Canary Islands the past 8 years. I remember the first time I saw him I thought he was black in Barcelona haha. He likes to joke about him looking black. I am so glad that I finally have a native companion though to help my spanish. In San Fernando we have 2 wards that we are in charge of and I have heard that they are amazing. They work like animals and love missionary work. I can´t wait to get started. Its funny too because two elders from the Barcelona mission that have gone home live here in San Fernando. Its going to be weird seeing them as non missionaries. I´m really excited to be here in San Fernando though. Here is my new address
Calle Manuel de Falla 6,4,C
11100 San Fernando (Cádiz)

Leaving Córdoba wasn´t as hard as leaving my last two areas. I was only there 3 months so I didn´t really have the friendships that I had in the other ones. I loved the members there though and they acted like they were going to miss me so thats good haha. I have some pictures that I´ll send to my mom to put on the blog. Toñi was doing really good when I left. We visited her with the branch mission leader and he asked her some questions. Her answers really shocked me. He asked her how she knew the church was true and she said she could feel it. He asked her when she felt it for the first time and she said the very first time when she came out of her room and sat down to listen. She said everything we said just filled her and she knew her search was over. It was really awesome to hear her say that. I just wish I could be there to see her get baptized. Hopefully my old comp will send me a picture of it.
I just have one little funny story before I go. My last day in Córdoba turned out to be really interesting. There is this huge fat guy (not trying to be rude, just explaining) that always asks people for money. Everytime he saw us he asked us for money but we never gave it to him. We aren´t supposed to give money because then the people will always go to the missionaries begging. Well this guy asks everybody anyway and I just wanted him to leave me alone haha so I gave him a coin. Big mistake. He said ¨Oh amigo, give me a kiss.¨ I was like no way! But he grabbed me and kissed me right on the neck! Man it was nasty. I actually have a picture of him so I´ll send that too. Anyway, thats all I have for the week. I love you all and I hope everything is going good. The church is true. I know it because I can feel it, just like Toñi said. Have a good week and I´ll talk to you soon. Adios
