Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Not much more I could imagine pumping into a month than what we have done so far...

Back in Spain now, things are still going nuts. In case any of you haven´t heard, the countries Jon and I made it to are so far: Ireland, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and of course Spain... Italy is my favorite. Can´t say anything bad about any of the countries, but Italy had the cutest girls, nicest people, best food and prettiest countryside, and yes, I am totally biased.

The ministry and meetings have still been the coolest part about the trip, we have been able to go to meetings and\or Bethel in almost all of the countries we have visited so far, and all of the brothers have welcomed us with open arms. The one family that we stayed with in Switzerland spent around 400 dollars on us, buying us groceries and other things, they are amazing people. As I have said before there is too much to explain in a blog, there have been a few times when Jon and I have had some close calls, but all in all we have been doing pretty fantastic. Over the next few days we are going to be checkng out some more of Gaudi`s work, lots more to do in the ministry.









































































Jon and I have already had the opportunities to be victims of theft, but on the smallest scale possible, we were hanging out with some young people from the local spanish hall at an arcade, and while i was playing a basketball game, little kids were running up and stealing the tickets as I won them. I didn`t care but when Jon saw it happening, he jumped in front of the ticket dispenser and started grabbing the tickets as they came out, then the little kids tried to pull Jon out of the way but Jon wrestled em`off. Like Jon said ¨for me it`s not about the tickets¨.

Word to the wise though, don`t play ping pong in a spanish park past 10:00 at night,
