Letter dated 10Sept2012

[Dear family and friends, here is the letter from Weston that we received this morning. As you can tell, he LOVES hearing from you! Send me your notes as a reply to this letter - and I will make sure he gets them. I hope you have a wonderful September! Love, Weston's editor - BWS] Dear Family, Wow, I seemed to get a little bit more feedback from other people this week than usual. I liked all the letters shared with me and I´m glad people are following my adventures! I hope they don´t get too boring time to time.. if so, I´ll just have to do more things! Yesterday was Missionary Day in the Manacor Branch and so I was asked to give a talk. Looking back at my first experience giving a talk in Spanish and then comparing it to yesterday was a total 180 degree change. I was able to share my experiences on my mission and also express my love for the mission. I told everyone why the mission is important and why I´m here in Spain. I was actually going to talk about more things, but I was taking up too much time and so the President put a paper right next to me that said ´´Time Off´´ in English, so I figured I´d just finish up right where I was and it was so good. I am so happy I know what I know and it´s easy to talk to people now. A true blessing. Here in our area we´ve been doing more and more and progressing more and more as well in getting to know our whole area and working with as many people as we can. Last week we had a great opportunity to help the family from Brazil with a move they had and we really helped them finish a stressful job in a very short time and they were all really grateful. We also came into contact with a woman who was baptized about a year ago and we´ve been able to help her with a few things and right now it looks like she´ll be coming to church a little bit more often. I did send a bunch of letters last week. I hope to send more today as well! ¡BESOS! Élder Xander Weston Schindler P.S. Thanks for getting all the information for the voting papers. If you actually send the application to my Inca adress, that would be great! Letters sent this week should get to the island before October, so I´ll still be here! Just make sure that the Inca adress has the #50 in it, because I accidentally left that out the first time I sent that to you.. but yeah, everything I hear sounds like the election is nuts! P.P.S. This is a story for mommy! One of the past nights we were walking home and on the way we walked past one of the dumpsters and right next to it was a fantastic luggage case! I saw it, wondered why it was getting thrown out, then grabbed it and took it home! I explained to Elder Swenson that I get it from my mother, but it really is an amazing luggage bag. The only problem is that some of the zipper tops broke off, but I´m willing to deal with that. I hope you enjoyed this story! ;)
