Helloo!
 
So this week has been the first week without the married couple in the office, though to be honest, it´s about the same, on my part at least. The airport, was.... normal, we´ve already driven there about 5 times, so it wasn´t anything super exciting. It was weird though to see them go. I didn´t drive though, I am still working on the second gear of a manual car, so it will be awhile before I do anything as dangerous as that.
That´s kind of weird that Dillon will be home shortly. I guess that it feels like he has been out for awhile, though it will still seem weird to think that he will be home in a month. It´s also weird that I have 10 months already, it definitely seems like I am still new in the mission.
 
That´s awesome that there are so many more people applying for missions, it will be great to be able to have so many more people working here. There are a lot of small areas that struggle in the branches, and they could really some people to help them get things straight. It will also be weird that everyone that is coming is going to be so young, it will make me feel even older than i do right now. Hopefully I can figure out how to teach missionaries better, so that when I need to teach a new missionary I´ll be able to do it.
 
The Madrid MTC actually doesn´t have a whole lot of space, however, if the current visa wait continues, then the Americans probably will just be going straight to the field when they get here, so they won´t need a ton of space in the MTC for them there. But if they do start needing more space, then they are going to need to extend the building, or find a new one.
 
Halloween is pretty small (in Spain) right now, but it´s getting bigger. There are more people that do it every year, so eventually it will be a big holiday. And that´s probably it as for October holidays.
 
So, we´ve had a few more opportunities to teach, as for right now we kind of need to set a schedule for when we need to leave the office, and when we´re going to need to be in the office.
 
Right now we are in a small ward. Which isn´t too bad.
 
I ate something new today, though I don´t know what it was. It was kind of like a flour roll/tortilla with syrup or something on top, it wasn´t too bad. The lady that gave them to us said that they are a traditional Christmas food.
 
I´ll ask about the newsletter, though I know that there is a mission page, if you didn´t already know about that.
 
So, I have my cord, though I forgot it in my backpack in the car ... sorry, eventually you´ll get some pictures. I have some decent ones in the old part of a Spanish city called Toledo. They have a ton of sword shops there and also a lot of old buildings, so you´ll get those eventually.
 
As for pictures from you, I don´t really have any preferences about the topics of the pictures. I would just say that as long as they include someone in the family, they´re good. It doesn´t really matter if it´s something that they do every day.
Well, I´m afraid that that´s all the time that I have today, unfortunately we really need to get going if we want to have enough time to do everything else that we need to do today, Sorry that you didn´t really get a long letter this week.
 
Until next week,
