Dear Family, Like all things end, so has my time in Valencia ended. I´m actually still here and I'll be leaving tomorrow morning actually and I am both excited but sad at the same time. I´m going to an area called Cornellá, but if you want to know where that is, it´s part of BARCELONA!!! I've had companions and other missionaries serve there before and I've only heard amazing things from that area and I couldn't be more pleased than to go and (from what I can tell) finish my mission in Barcelona! So I hope that all of these photos find you in good time and aren't too many, but I think I took 1000 within the past few days, not even joking! I´m going to always remember Valencia and I will be coming back frequently in the future, I know! I am so grateful that I was able to serve with Elder Benton during these past weeks and I know that he´ll be in good hands with his next companions. His attitude towards the work and life all the way through is just something amazing and he´s coming along in learning more Spanish each and every day. He reminds me of myself and how I was, and while it wasn't an easy thing, it does come over time and then you just realize how much the Lord has blessed you. I can´t wait to keep you all up on what´s going to happen in Barç, especially with the holidays coming up! I love you from every corner of my very being (do beans have corners?), -- Élder Xander Weston Schindler PS We have to go back, Kate..
