Hola mi familia en la tierra de Sión!! No puedo decir que extrano la ciudad de Provo ahora por qué Estoy en lo mas mejor parte del mundo, MADRID!
Volveré a Inglés... Ah man, this place is beautiful we can see the temple, just outside our window. The CCM is solo tres floors of this building, the others floors are for the hostels that members can stay in when they come to visit the madrid temple. We arrived in madrid this morning at 9am, it is now 3 en el tarde and I am suffering from jet to the lag!!! I didn´t catch a wink of sleep on our flight from Atlanta to madrid because I got to sit by the Spain Consul on the plane and he was talking to me the last 6 hours.. I learned a lot of really cool things about the spanish government, how the church assigns mission calls (he gets to sit in on some of those meetings), muchas oltras cosas tambien. He´s the man who delivered our visas to us last Friday in the CCM. Entonces, the CCM here is increíble. Our maestros/teachers are all from diferente partes de España and have thee coolest accents, theta and all and they just glow with love! I´m so excited to be here, I´ve been assigned to a new companion, whom i knew from the Provo MTC, Hermana Petru. Really looking forward to being with her, and I´ve also moved up into the advanced language district, I thought I could use the challenge. I didn´t know this, but back in the Provo MTC, they had intermediate and advanced language districts for people who had previous spanish knowledge. Entonces, now I get to study with them and we ONLY hablar en Español durante clase tiempo, estará un gran bendicion para mi! We will be in the MTC here until March 16 it looks like, so a little bit more! I am so happy and so zomby tired. But, no mas preopucaciones sobre su misionera favorita! We also just got a new MTC President today, he flew over with us! super excited to be here, even though we haven´t even seen much of spain yet. like I said the temple is fantastically gorgeous and we will get to go there a time or two, the Consul Bambo (no sé su nombre exactamente... pero,) told me during our plane ride that President Hinckley said, that he of course has been in ALL of the temples in the world and the celestial room in the Madrid temple is the best decorated ever. I´m excited, Consul Bambo said it´s very different and very beautiful. So, believe it or not, I´m in Spain and I´m liking the looks of things thus far, especially our 7pm bedtime este noche! Can´t wait for a long and much needed rest, love you all!
oh mom, I must say, that from the drive to the airport to our MTC campus, I was reminded of Zagreb, Croatia, a few high rises, nothing too picturesque just yet, but it was only like a 7 minute drive..
Les Amo Muchisimo!!!
Hermana Nelson
