Alright, heres some culture info about Spain: besos. I love besos. Kisses on kisses. Super awkward when the guys go in for besos though. Also, i think that every single person in Spain walks their dog in the morning and buys a fresh loaf of bread. Like on average, we probably see 15 people just carrying a loaf of bread every morning (not wrapped or anything). soooo, my and Hermana Hemsley went and bought one this morning and made tortilla de patata (eggs and potatoes between bread) -yum!

Also, am I even serving in Spain? A laaaarge share of the people we meet with are from africa, the DR, Columbia or somewhere south. The sad part is that a lot of them up and left their families to come live in spain. sad. we met with a lady, mari dorado, and she started crying and telling us about how she wants to see her fam.

SO we went and visited a less active named sofia. shes from africa and stopped coming to church cause people are racist... are you freaking kidding me?? i love different cultures and i hate hate hate racism. and i can tell you exactly who it isin our ward... but i wont do that cause thats not what the savior would do..

aaaanyway, sofia gave us the most nasty drink i have ever ever tasted. it was called malta somthin from africa. grrrrroooooss. a nice lady, less active named margarita, gave us a huge jar of peanut butter (probably like 10 bucks) so that was nice.

Hermana Hems and i ran 6 miles saturday morning so that was fun. we also bindged hard core on brownies, ice cream, and hot chocolate that night. which by the way was fast sunday so cause we forgot to start our fast that night, we fasted from that night clear through sunday until 10 pm... ouch.

k, bennedette. her name is beni but i like bennedette better. shes craaaaazy. we did a musical number with her and some other ladies in the ward (me on the violin, hems on the piano). ive never practiced so hard for such a simple song. i wish i could explain beni to you, but just know, shes the craziest spaniard i know. i love her.

anyway, thats all - sorry this was a longer one, but i get going. summary: all is well here in España and the chruch is true, the book is blue, im a mormon.... it usually ends with jesus is a mormon, but i dunno, is that sac religous?

lots of love from hna lam
