November 6th letter

What happened this week? I´m kind of settling into the MTC, so this letter might be kind of short. Let´s see… On Saturday, as usual, we went to the park to proselyte. My companion and I placed 2 Books of Mormon! It was pretty amazing, before we left, me and him met to establish goals, and my companion said that he needed to bring a Russian BoM. He wanted to because he had met a man in the park the week before that wanted a Russian copy. I was a little skeptical, but as we were walking around the park, we found the same man! We gave him the Russian copy, and he was very happy. Not too much to report besides that! We went to the Prado art museum today. That was an awesome experience! My parents know how much I enjoy museums. The weather here continues to astound me. We left the window open last night. And it is November! My roommates are such amazing elders! They are all so different, but everyone contributes in different ways to an awesome spiritual room! We have an elder from Payson, one from Delta, one from Wyoming, one from Oregon, and my companion Elder Schwenke, who is from Orem. We have grown very close over the past three weeks, and I know that all of us will be lifelong friends. Haha, in fact, we are all planning on going to each other’s weadings when we get back. On a spiritual thought, our district had a killer lesson from one of our teachers a few days ago! He talked about the importance of bearing testimony to investigators, but it basically turned into him testifying about his mission experience. One thing that he said that I like a lot was, ¨God doesn´t look at your results, he looks at your decisions and your journey.¨ That helped me a lot, especially as I am learning a new language, and it can be a little discouraging sometimes. I love this gospel! I love the Lord! I love Spain. I love the People. I just can´t wait to get out in the field and feel this love grow tenfold! Elder Kaleb Rawlinson
