Spain is so hot!

 

(This is from email on June 13)

 

Father's Day here in Spain is one of the biggest events in Europe. Everyone is watching soccer and that's it. We've ran into bars and pubs that have been packed to the opposite side of the road. And my companion is just insane right now. Some how he's been receiving what the scores are, who's playing, and who's in the finals. He said it's so we know what to say to the people on the street. So I'm in this moment where he can speak more Spanish than I can which is really good for him.

     This week we've hit a dry spell, both physically and emotionally. This week we hit record temperatures here in Ourense. It's been 47 degrees Celsius (that's 116 degrees in American) here for the last two days. And because of that not many people are out in the streets now. And the beginning of this week Èlder Liptrott sprained his ankle playing soccer. So we've taking things slowly for the week. He has crutches now but that's it. The adventures of being a missionary here in Ourense.

     We've had to drop a person we were teaching this week because he refused to pray for help with his questions. It broke both our hearts to decide that but we will find someone to teach once again. I love this life here and even though I'm coming home in 8 months. And look forward to seeing you all. I honestly feel that this has been the best decision of my life to this point.

 

 

I love you
Èlder Broadbent.
