Hello family!
So this transfer has pretty much been a roller coaster. so the filipino family. we called them yesterday, she is in the Philippines picking up three other children, and he is in a pueblo of madrid where his sister lives. but he seemed happy when we called. so we are hopefully going to meet with them sometime this week. so that is good. Y returned and she has been reading the book of mormon and the pamphlets that we gave her. but she is moving in like two weeks. there is some good news with that though. so has been living with someone, she knows it is wrong and she really wants to keep all the commandments and put got first. so when she does move she will be able to be baptized. and she still has the same desire to be baptized. so there is some good news with that.
so while knocking doors we meet a 14 year old dominican named M. she has been listening to lots of churches trying to find out the truth. and we taught her the restoration and it was a supper strong lesson. and when we gave her the book of mormon she said she is going to read it ever day. so we meet with her Thursday with the young women president, and she went to the activity they had saturday morning and she loved it. there is a 14 year old dominican member and they got along real well. and on sunder M had already read the introduction, all the testimonies, and until 1 nefi chapter 10. and she loved church as well. so if all goes well we are going to set a fecha as well. and with Be we had a super strong lesson with him. about his desires and how he needs to start doing things. he has read very few times. he always says he doesnt have time, but he made a commitment that he is going to ready. he had an excuse to not come to church, he had to pick some papers up or something, but he still came! and he read in the book of mormon! so that is exciting! and A is a filipino reference from the hermanas that had a fecha then disappeared. we have been meeting with him more. he just needs to stop smoking and he still really wants to be baptized. so we left him with a calendar to pray for a date to be baptized and to stop smoking. he is a pretty cool guy. he is also looking for a job so we went to the employment center with him. but that might actually be a blessing he has no job, the withdrawal symptoms that he had last time he tried to stop interfered with him job, so now there is not job for it to interfere with, and he says he has no money to buy cigarettes. so it could be a blessing in disguise. few random notes of the week. we listened to christmas music in the piso. i ran into a dominican on the street, and her purse fell onto the ground. i picked it up of course. well i didn’t completely run into her. her hand was up in the air (she was talking on the phone) and i hit it. then she was at a baptism at the church. so that was kind of awkward. we made nutella cookies that were really good. and thats about all for the week.
i love you all.

To Dad
i thought i really wouldn't care to much about the byu game, but i did, a lot. it wasn’t too bad when i heard they lost to Virginia, but now they lost to utah, life is over. actually i had a dream that byu lost to utah, so i just decided to stop the mission. there was no more purpose. don’t worry i wont stop the mission, but it still is quite sad byu lost. sounds like our offense is still as useless as ever. oh well. maybe by the time i get back we can get an offense. similar to the one in the 80s. i bet they will stop playing soon. if byu never wins the game wont be as intense anymore. its close but we never win. in crunch time they just havent come through. at least there is some good news with you winning in golf. thats good for Ziggy. what else in going on in the nfl? who is doing the best? i saw the hunts were up in the north of Spain. but if i ever see them i will say hello. thats sad boating season is over. we were talking today and a three of us decided that the best pday would be boating and listening to some u2 music. that would be rad. well obviously playing 18 holes would be the best, but there is only a golfing range for now. the rejection after the progression is the worst. they just seemed so ready. we are going to try to visit them this week though. we called them yesterday and they still seemed happy. he just doesn't know his work schedule. i saw a bit of la voz. it is here in Spain. this should already be like the 4th season of the voice. thats quite a lot. seems like it is still way new. good bruno still chases cats. all still seems to be normal there.
mike and carrie are funny. was dinner fun with them? the new address is calle bravo murillo 43 4a 28010. i think thats the address. im not 100 percent sure. if things go to the other piso i will still get it. just maybe one day later. there still are elders living in the other piso though. by the way the address for the old piso was 3e. im not sure if you typed that or not. on the slip they gave me it just said e. we actually got milkshakes last pday. the palace was closed. today we went though. it was really cool. we saw a pharmacy, dining room, lots of other rooms, and an armory. well b lives in Valencia which is quite far away and in the Barcelona mission. its way over on the Mediterranean. so probably not sadly. you sure are making a lot of dresses with tanya. sounds like she is turning into quite the seamstress. i saw la voz for a few minutes here. its the same things except in spain. same exact thing though. there are doing seasons way often. they do not take very long breaks. who is bro m? i have never heard of him before. what does he do for a living? he sounds like a funny guy. dad gives you a lot of iou. you need to cash in on those. i have no clue how many missionaries are here now. quite a lot. but the next group coming in is not nearly as big. is devons mission growing a ton as well? we did teach yand she is still amazin! but she is moving as well. i don’t even know anymore. its like a rollar coaster this transfer. the first quarter has flown by. it seems like i just started my mission. and if time goes quicker it will seem just like six months and i will be home. 2 years really isnt as long as it seems like. only two years to dedicate all of your time to helping other people.
i love you
love elder jason kinghorn
