Dear family,
I´m sorry I didn´t write yesterday but we were back in Jaen again doing residency and I didn´t have too much time to do internet.  As far as the week went... it went well, and as far as sickness... yes I, and the other Elders, shared it with Elder Fetzer!  But we´re both doing better now!

We were able to visit quite a few members this week!  we doubled... almost... our lessons from last week!  We found an awesome young adult from the dominican republic on the bus the other day!  I really should say that she found us!  She is awesome and we are going to have a cita with her on wednesday!  And she has the coolest hair in the world!  I hope that I´ll somehow find an excuse to get a picture of it! haha  Who knows maybe a baptism will do the trick!!!

I did receive a question from a member here!  Is there a simple internet filter that blocks pop ups?  It´s an older lady that lives alone so it doesn´t need to do much but she doesn´t like the pop ups!  if you could give me a couple websites of where to go to download the filter that would be great!  Another thing... There is no such thing as seasoning salt in spain.  I want to do a couple things with seasoning salt but it wouldn´t be worth it for you to send it to me... I want to know if you could look up ratios of the ingredients and i´ll try to make some!  I want to make better hamburgers and your potatoes that you do with olive oil and seasoning salt. 

So, my trip to Jaen.  That was just a chaos and a half!  On sunday night´s train ride they had to stop the train a couple stops early and send us in bus the last hour!   Then we got to the Jaen piso at 12:15am and started talking to the Elders there!  It came up that my stuff was over on the table... and I asked where my package was.  That wasa package containing the papers I needed in order to do my residency!  They didn´t know of any package! I was supposed to be at the government building at 10:30am the next morning and mail doesn´t come till 12:30pm.  That´s a problem!  I called the church lawyer who wsa in charge of it and he gave me the number of the DHL office... ok that´s better because they could come at any time!  But they said that they couldn´t deliver it until wednesday... That´s a BIG problem!  I told them I would come pick it up and then tryed to figure out where the office was.  couldn´t figure out where she said it was.  They called me back and said that it was already on a truck to the house.    THey didn´t get there until 11:50.  We went straight to the government and stood in line for a number, and when it was my turn they asked me if I had an appointment.  I said "well, it was at 10:30"  they replied, "No pasa nada"..."Not a problem"  I got in and out in a few minutes and I am aloud to stay in Spain!!!

That´s the fun experience of my week!  I don´t have anymore time either so I´m going to leave you with that!  I love you all and wish you all a great week!
