there are always blessings to be recognized

Family and Friends :)

We now starting the last week of the transfer, can´t believe these things are going by so fast. Seeing how I just got here, I´m probably going to stay. I like it here, but sure wouldn´t say no to a cool break up in the north. I´m praying to be called up there some time to see how it is, I guess we´ll see.

We had a really good week. Four of our investigators showed up to church today which made me really happy, and also we´ve been visiting multiple less active people here and in the past we haven´t had too much luck with them coming to church, but 3 of them showed up as well! One of the less actives was Juan Carlos, an older guy who is kind of pscitzofrenic (schizophrenic) ( hahahaha NO idea how to spell that one) and just says the most random things.

We met a really cool Dominican guy, Jari, and after meeting with him throughout the week he walked with us to the church--he´s super chill and seems really interested.

Also, we had another huge blessing--his name is Domingo. He is best friends with a member who basically explained to him all about the Church, and introduced him to us. In that first lesson we had he kept talking about how the Book of Mormon has already changed his life--he won´t drink beer anymore! And he feels so much better and happier. We ended up setting a baptismal date with him at the end of that lesson for the end of August and I´m feeling really good about it. We probably won´t have to do too much, the Lord has already prepared him to accept everything.

We went this morning to Segovia! A really old city up outside of Madrid a ways (we got to ride a train there--that was so awesome, seeing the countryside of Spain). It is a beautiful city, kind of like Toledo with the cobblestones, narrow streets, old restaraunts. But Segovia has a huge castle with lots of towers and cool rooms, and an enormous cathedral to tour, and one of those aqueducts from the Roman Empire. I took lots of pictures, don´t worry :) I wish I could have had someone there explaining to me lots of the things, but it´s alright, I loved it.
I hope you all had a week filled with blessings like ours was. And if it wasn´t, look harder because there are always blessings to be recognized :)

I love you all so much, take care.

Love Elder Franson
The cathedral reminded me so much of Hogwarts! Why can't I be a wizard?
The castle.
The thrones.
The aqueduct.
