Dear Family.

That’s is quite funny with the birthday party.  i can imagine Bruno coughing up a cake,  but he is all fine now?  How old is Ava?  i didn’t get the birthday package yet.  When did you send it?  i remember when Tanya hated shopping.  it isn’t the most exciting thing in the world.  Haber.  Car shopping is, boat, golf, furniture can be in you find a really comfy chair with a football game on and entertain you for a bit.  Where is highpoint?  That’s sad summer is over.  it is starting to get colder here as well.  The menos activo is coming to church more.  We meet with her again with friends this time.  But i’ll tell you about that in the family email.  it is crazy with all the missionaries.  All the areas are growing and are opening so many new areas.  

For pday today we are going inside of the royal palace.  i think its the biggest royal palace in all of Europe.  So that’s cool.  That’s bad the fridge stopped working.  Well have a lovely week.  

Well i have good news and bad news.  i shall start with the good news first.  elder ballard came and spoke to us!!!!!!!!!!!!  like the apostle.  president jackson talked to him and Ballard fit us in in his busy schedule.  we meet with him at eight in the morning.  it was so cool.  he talked about our how through our desire is how the work is done.  in d and c 11 talks alot about this.  he said he sometimes questions why is he and 85 year old man running around all of Europe.  because he knows what jesus did for us, and he it was a lot harder for him.  we can just to a little bit, and we need this desire to serve him.  it was super cool.  and we all got to shake his hand.  like 100 missionaries and an apostle.  well that was the good news.  so B the Chinese man has moved to Valencia.  so we passed his reference over there.  he was super cool and i know he will continue to baptism.  and there is more bad news.  the philipino family isnt sure about baptism any more, and they don’t want to meet as often.  so we have kind of let them be for a while, and we will pass by sometime this weekend.  im not really sure what happened.  they were going so well.  funny story about them, so we called them Wednesday and she said oh im and doing that diet thing, then she asked her cousin what is that diet thing called, oh fasting.  im fasting.  i still know they will be baptized though.  we have just hit a road block.  so we will have to talk to them and find out what their problem is.  well there is some other good things that happened this week.  so A, he is also a philipino moved into our area, and he had a fecha to be baptized, but he lost his job and we never met with him.  but Friday we went over to M's house ( the philipino who is amazing) and invited him over as well.  and he came!!!  and Mariam invited a friend over named v, but she lives outside our area, but she is really prepared.  and we went over the first lesson a little, and A was helping us teach.  he has a strong testimony and still wants to be baptized.  so we are excited to get to know him more.  more good news yovana is back!!!!!!!  we are meeting with her tomorrow morning.  so that is super exciting.  she could be baptized in like a week.  she was reading and praying the whole time she was away.  and when we have called her she sounded super excited to hear from us.  few random no9tes from the week i ran into a light pole.  during district meeting i said si alguno de vosotros.  im not sure why i said vosotros.  it just came out, it was funny.  people started laughing.  (thats the tu plurall, which we just use ustedes as missionaries)  we got churros and chocolate last pday.  theya re supper good.  

i love you all

love elder jason kinghorn
