Well, today was an exciting Pday! We went down to the center of Madrid to go to a restaurant called Tierra Burrito Bar. Haha, it is JUST like Chipotle! There is not too much mexican food out here, but man, the one we went to today was Really good! Haha, it was also in a part of town where there are a lot of American college students, and that restaurant is really popular among them. Haha, walking into the restaurant felt like I was going back to the US. Almost everyone was speaking in English. But, I´m proud to say, that I ordered in Spanish. :) We also went to Sol, in the center of Madrid to explore a little. Fun day!
Well, this week has been a good one! My first week with Elder Weixler, and we are enjoying it. Haha, he is a great guy, and we definitley had a good time this week. It was a little difficult, in the fact that a ton of the lessons we had set up, canceled. But, we still tried to do the best we could with what we had! Sometimes, you just get lots of new investigators, and you think that you can progress with at least some of them, but sometimes, well I guess always, we are out searching for new ones!
We also had our Fiesta de las Naciones on Saturday. It was sooooo cool! Haha, the Americans actually started out the preformance with a rousing rendition of the "cotton eyed joe dance" Haha, then things got a whole lot more serious. :) Peruvians, Ecuatorians, Bolivians, and even a Dominican! And then, we watched tourist videos of a few more countries that are represented in our ward, such as Colombia, Paraguay, and Chile. Oh, of course we can´t forget the Spaniards. It was fantastic to see all of the culture that exists here in Spain. Food, dance, and just a plain old good time. I will send you some pictures!
Well, I think that is about it. As far as Christmas present desires, I feel it apropriate to quote a popular Christmas song, "All I want for Christmas, is you!" Haha, but just a few more months! I don´t need anything special, but scarves and ties never hurt anybody. :)
I love you all, so much!! Oh, and Ethan, careful with those bones!
Sincerely,
Elder Rawlinson
