I trust everyone is doing well, there are always many blessings to be found. We had an interesting week, but also witnessed multiple blessings and miracles.
Toledo has a lot less people out and about like madrid does, but there are still so many people to be found I know. After praying really hard one morning to be guided to some people who would actually have some interest, we ended up finding 5 great people almost in a row, and got their phone numbers! Felt so great. There are other days when you don´t find any one, but I guess the trick is just learning how to be more constant in your patience and motivation. I´m doing alright, there of course are days when I feel like I´m just so tired of walking and that there is no one who will actually stop for a second and listen to us, but somehow I continue on.
We had an unexpected change, Elder Armstrong left and I have a new companion named Elder Jones--also from Idaho! Rigby, and is related to the Simmons, how cool! It was sad saying goodbye to Elder Armstrong, we got along great and had a good time together. But I´m excited to see what these next couple of weeks bring. Elder Jones wants to get a Jamon leg, because he´s never gotten one before, so we´ll probably do that soon haha. We´re going to get a cheaper one though, less money.
The ward is doing pretty good, it was weird being in the Priesthood meeting with only 5 other people, probably the smallest attendance I´ve been in. But they are some great leaders. There is however a big problem with crying babies here. No, let me rephrase that. There is a big problem with babies that won´t quit screaming at the top of their lungs here. Sacrament meeting was the worst haha, for honestly 15 minutes a little girl would not stop screaming! And we´re you know in a sacrament room that´s really small, so it´s just drilling into our ears, and we can´t even hear the guy who´s trying to talk in the microphone. The worst part was that the parents didn´t even take her out of the room for the longest time! I was cringing so bad in my seat. I know I shouldn´t judge, and I´ve never been a parent so I don´t really know, but I was just so surprised that the parents just kept her there without making any move to take her out. Anyway, apart from that the church meetings were pretty good haha. We meet in a small little place here close to our house actually, and it´s been pretty enjoyable.
The city of Toledo is just amazing, I´m loving every second of it. We went and walked around here for a while and were looking through all of the little shops. Lots of tourists there, today we met a guy from Florida--I don´t think he likes the Mormons haha--but it´s cool to see people from all over.
I love you all so much, thanks as always for your love and support. I hope to be able to return that love to you as well as you have done it to me.
Have a great day, and happy birthday, Dad!!
Love Elder Franson
