2015 can be as good as you make it to be

Friends and family,

Happy New Years!! It was pretty awesome here, lots of fireworks and banging noises to keep everyone awake. Like I´m sure happened everywhere, there were tons of drunk people and just annoying kids blowing things up, but it was great. I still haven´t made my New Years resolutions but have been thinking for a little while and want to make them good for this year. How about you guys? 

I got to play a cello todayyYY!!!!! I saw one in a window of a music shop and today we went there to see if i could play it. I got to play it for a bit, but it was so out of tune I spent a while trying to tune it, and actually one of the strings broke...haha so funny. But the guy was so nice. It felt so crazy to hold one again, tell Heidi that I´m down to play for that group when I get back.

Get this, in two different lessons this past week, there was a TV over in the corner on mute, and in the middle of the lesson Back to the Future came on!! Haha made both me and my companion want to watch so bad, but we just had to ask to shut it off. Then as I was walking on the street we passed a bar that had playing on their TV HOME ALONE 2!! GAH good thing we were in a hurry or else it would have been super easy to have stopped for a second haha.

We started teaching this family from Guinea Equitoreal, and they are incredible. But 2 of them went back to France where they live, but had accepted to go to church there (we had found it on mormon.org with them). Many times we as missionaries have to pass these people to other areas and other missionaries, and of course it´s a little sad to know you won´t be able to teach those people and be a continuous part in their progression, but it is good to remember how we´re always on the same team. It might not me me teaching them, but more importantly they are getting taught. I hope and pray they continue talking to the missisonaries there and soon can get baptized.

We had exchanges a couple days ago, I went to another area here close--called Mostoles, which was pretty fun. There were lots of fair things that were going on, making the streets super crowded but it was good.

Not much else happened this week, it seriously went by too fast. Sorry there isn´t a ton of stuff. But I wish you all a new year, and hope you look forward with lots of hope, looking for the good in everything. 2015 can be as good as you make it to be.

Love,
