Hello there my wonderful family!
Things are going awesome here in Spain durante la Semana Santa. Things honestly are pretty crazy. We had a meeting in Malaga the other day and everything was closed. Like literally, everything. That includes all the bus systems and grocery stores. Craziness. Spaniards take their holidays seriously! But things were pretty cool. Everyone goes out into the streets to watch procesiones (parades, basically) where they carry huge imagenes of Jesucristo around the streets. Kinda weird, but interesting. Sadly I hardly got to see any of it because we were so busy. So I have no pictures to send you of the Semana Santa this year, but next year I´ll try a little bit harder. But we did have a baptism!!!!! It was incredible, the spirit truly testified to me again that this is what I´m supposed to be doing. And, don´t worry mom, I´m not coming home for anything! (well I guess when I´m done I might). But it was a good week. It sounds like you all had a great time too! How was Easter? Hope it went well. Peru sounds like it was awesome! The pictures you sent didn´t work though :/ You´ll have to try again next week. Just do whatever you did earlier, because the other pictures you have sent have worked perfectly. Good work at stirring up some trouble in the ward momma :) I guess we´ll just have to wait and see what happens with the whole polygamy thing. But people won´t be able to understand it now completely, and that´s okay. If we were meant to understand it now, we would. Thanks for working so hard on all the stuff too. I hope I´m not too much trouble. So I just heard that North Korea declared war on South Korea, is that true? And if so, how would that affect Skyler? Keep me posted por favor. So this week we had the baptism of Martin. It was pretty great. We had to fill up the font using the kitchen and bathroom sink and the water ended up being cold and brownish, but it was still incredible. He´s about 6´5" and he slipped when he went under, so I almost dropped him, but it all worked out. It was a pretty spiritual experience. After I pulled him out I could see how happy the Spirit was making him. He just smiled and hugged me and said thank you. Pretty powerful. I had another really powerful spiritual experience just yesterday. We´ve been teaching an 11 year old Romanian boy named Raúl, and really haven´t really thought that he was ready to be baptized yet (just because we didn´t think he really understood it all yet) but yesterday in church he came up to me and said that during the last meeting he had a really strong prompting. He said that he felt something in his heart saying that he needed to be baptized like Martin was. He said he always feels good with us and at church and everything and that he really needs to be baptized. The boy was feeling the spirit on turbo. He´s a tiny little guy and was literally shaking when he told me that. And then the Spirit testified super strongly to me, that everything he was saying was true. That he does need to be batptized. He´s a special kid. Our branch president says the same thing. He says that he´s different, and he is. Later that day we went to Raúl´s house to eat dinner with him. It was good, but his parents told us, and him, that he couldn´t be baptized. So for now, he has to wait until he is 18. I´ve been praying really hard that their hearts will be softened, but we shall see what happens. Well I love you all and I hope things are going well for you. Oh, and mom, you should probably just send the package to the office. This is the address:
Av. Jesús Santos Rein Nº2, 3 D-E
Edif. Ofisol, Fuengirola
29640 Málaga
ESPAÑA
And I think that it´s better to put just my name at the top instead of Misión Málaga España. Thanks again. Love you all a ton! This week I´ve thought about all the things we used to do and I´m so grateful that you raised me so well! (hopefully I turned out okay too) Thanks for everything.
Con amor,
Elder Charlie Flint
