The New Black

Transfer day today! Another one gone with each transfer going faster than the last. My companion Elder Parkinson is on his way out. He'll be going to Salamanca. Great guy - we had a lot of fun together. I was planning on stealing his expensive insulin pump for his diabetes and selling it on eBay, but I guess that can't happen now. Oh well. This next transfer I'm gonna be a dad!! I'll be training a brand new missionary fresh out of the MTC. I'm ridiculously excited. This next transfer is gonna be brilliant. I'll be picking up my son tomorrow. "The New Black," by Moon Taxi was the only song I could think of off the top of my head that had to do with something new. It's a good song though.

Also, something that I've known for a couple weeks but keep forgetting to say: There are going to be changes in the boundaries of the mission. Malaga mission is being disolved into the missions of Madrid and Barcelona. We still don't know exactly how it's all going to play out, but it'll happen in June/July. I could finish my mission in Seville or somewhere down South. Pretty sick.

Investigators are all about the same. Yocasta is still awesome. She's given up coffee as hard as it's been for her. I told her that I wouldn't drink soda as long as she doesn't have coffee. She liked that idea a lot and told me that I couldn't drink juice either. So basically I'm just drinking water now hahaha. We found a super cool guy named Ariel on the street this week. He's from Paraguay and has only been here two months and told us he was looking for a church to go to. Miracle. He was going to come yesterday, but had something come up. We're gonna meet with him this next week though.

Segovia last week was so dope. We saw the famous Roman aqueduct that's there. It was built without any mortar, so it's just straight stone holding it together. We went to the castle after and it was probably the coolest one I've been to. Lots of history and boring stuff too, but still sick. I can't think of anything else exciting that happened this week so I guess that's all for now. Hope you all have a superb week!

Hasta luego,

Elder Penner
