Sorry about the skype thing.

Sorry about the skype thing. I wasn´t much of a talker. It´s like you said, I had so much to say but when the time came I couldn´t remember anything. That´s sometimes how it is when you are teaching someone but somehow you always say something of worth to the person. I have so many pictures I want to send you guys but the computers here don´t like American cameras. 
 
The one thing I want to send you pictures of are of my companion, the members, and the sites of the Spain. We went to the Grand Palace and Elder Schwenke asked how much money it took to build it and I´m wondering how long it took to build it. It is huge and wouldn´t surprise me if it´s the size the whole grounds of USU. 
 
We have a new family to teach and it is a family of five from Chile. They have a family friend who is a member and have always liked her. After we taught them the mom said this is what this family has been missing. She went and basically bore her testimony of Jesus Christ and said she wants us to come and teach her and her family again. One of the sons was taking classes to be baptized in the Catholic Church and was to be baptized this week. He then said he had a feeling to hold up his baptism date until we came and taught. He said he will start taking lessons from us to wee what we have to offer. 
 
My testimony is growing both in knowledge and in the language. This is a great and marvelous work. Reminds of the Old Testament when Moses is shown the burning bush and Moses denies that he can do it and god chose the wrong man. I felt like Moses for the past two months, the work is too great for a man like me. I am afraid to speak to others because the language and I have not enough faith in my abilities to teach. Yet god tells Moses He will work his wonders through him. 

 
Yo sé mi Salvador vive. Yo sé el Libro de Mormón es la palabra de Dios. Yo sé el evangelio resturado he bendicó mi vida. 
 
Con amor 
Elder Broadbent.
 
(Translation by someone who actually speaks Spanish, not Google)
I know that my Savior lives. I know the Book of Mormon is the Word of God. I know the Restored Gospel has blessed my life.
With love,
Elder Broadbent
