Yep, I am still in Torrevieja. However, on Wednesday, I will meet my new companion, because Elder Rodríguez has been reassigned. My new companion is Elder Larios, and he comes in on Wednesday as well. It will be interesting. There are a lot of things that can happen in the next few weeks. We will be coming up on Christmas time, and that is a great time of reflection and new goals. Why not a time to give up sins and start again, always trying to improve, striving everyday to become more like our Saviour.
We aren't perfect, and never will quite make it, but if we do our BEST, if we have faith, repent, be baptized by someone holding the proper authority, and continue to the end, we will be able to live with our Heavenly Father again. That is what I am most thankful for right now. How merciful and loving our Father is. Anybody can come back to him, and he will accept them. I love that. I have seen people re-center their lives on Christ, and they have been blessed with strength, and comfort, among other things.
That the greatest privilege of serving a mission.
I wish that I could write more today, but we have to go catch a bus. Today has been rather hectic. I am sad to have to say farewell to Elder Rodríguez, but it is time to go, and we know that when the Lord calls, we pick up our bags and we get to work.
Love you all! Keep working hard!
¡Os quiero mucho!
Elder Oliver
PS, if you haven't bought your mission clothing yet, seriously, buy cheap clothes. They get ruined just as quickly as nice clothes.
Short letter, but he uploaded several pictures. I have no idea about most of them, so use your imagination.
He said this about the painting, "Really old painting by de Goya that F (their investigator) owns."
And it just wouldn't be Hayden without his usual pose.
