Don't Eat the Oranges

Hello all!!!! Let this be a warning to all foreigners that come to Valencia!

Do not eat the oranges from the trees on the street. Aside that they are watered from dog urine and beer, they are a different tree type that doesn't produce delicious oranges. You have been warned!

This week we headed to the famous museum of science that every single tourist has told us about, it was fun, but it made me realize I am a strange and peculiar person, we are not of the world nor are we in it. Jajaja, you know your strange when you turn dinosaur exhibits into deep doctrine debates, and sand boxes into baptismal signs... But the displays on the biology, science, and anatomy portions just filled me with absolute awe, in the face of the great miracles God has made possible here on earth. Life is truly truly beautiful, and it all is just one massive blessing from Heavenly Father. It also filled me with intense desires to learn, wow to learn from the best books. It helps that I have just a genius for a companion.

We saw also the great miracle of I coming to church! He is a young man, and came by bike. He made It, and goodness I just have been blessed with such Christ like love for him. I have great plans of him serving a mission and having a eternal family. He is just amazing.

As well A our friend from Africa shared with us some of his intense life stories, he showed me pictures of him only a few years ago, and I will never judge a person ever again. Christ can change anyone. He is so so talented and very capable with a sewing machine. He is going to make Elder Hodgman and I matching African suits. We're very excited. I love this work. This is becoming more and more precious to me. I live with a purpose. I am happy. It's hard, but it's just that which makes me happy. I don't want to leave this life behind.
