Hey everyone!
My first Spanish Halloween experience was pretty interesting. I was
not very excited about having to compete with all the little kids for
knocking doors, but hoped that maybe we would be able to score some
candy for the night. Unfortunately, I found that trick or treating is
not nearly as big of a tradition here as it is In the US. Most people
won't even open their doors here if the kids knock them!
It's hard to believe that it has already been 6 weeks since I started
the journey of training with elder Miller. It has been amazing to
watch him grow. At the end of this week, we will find out if I will be
blessed by the people of torremolinos for another 4 weeks, or if I
will begin a journey elsewhere. I'm hoping to be able to stay! There's
just so much more to do.
As far as funny stories or experiences, I'm lacking this week, but I
did eat rabbit for the first time. There is a story that my brother
has from his mission in Portugal about eating rabbit and accidentally
picking out the head. Lucky for him, he was able to pass it off to the
head of the house; however, I was kind of hoping that I would get the
head so that I could have a similar story that ended with me eating
it....unfortunately, they had already eaten the head before we got
there, but they did have a "hígado" with my name on it, and it was
delicious (I'll let all those who are curious look it up for
themselves).
Thank you all for the prayers and support! I hope you have a great week!
Con amor y cariño
Elder Jenkins
