Hey, so I'm tired right now. I just got done playing some football, so this letter is going to be short, sorry...
So, my new companion, Elder Alacama (to the bed, in English) is great! He was trained by Elder Douglas, too. Elder Alacama is from Bolivia and is just a blessing. He can speak English, but makes me speak in Spanish all day, so it's a blessing. We speak English plenty with the other elders and after 9:30 we speak English. It's hard to train my companion on the area and do it in Spanish. He even makes me set up the appointments, so I have to use my Spanish more, but it's for my good. I'm loving the work, even though it just got a lot hader. It's great! I feel like I'm really doing some work. I felt like I was just floating by with Elder Douglas.
So, the other new elder in our area is from England and he says a lot of funky words. I thought I spoke English, but it's fun learning all these new words. His name is Elder Rowley and is brand new out of the MTC here in Spain.
This morning we cleaned the piso, like every inch, so it's great and soooooo clean.
The sisters in our area were closed this transfer so there are no sisters. It's just us four elders in our district. We were tempted to have district meeting in our piso, but we thought it would be better if we went to the church.
Have a great week!
Elder Craig Mackay
