Hola familia,
Wow I can´t believe Brother German passed away. What is happening to our neighborhood. I hope Brother Johnson can pull through a little longer. I´d like to be able to say goodbye to him. Send my love to Sister German. Let her know that I appreciate all the opportunities I had to spend with her and her husband. They are wonderful people. Summer really is flying by. I can´t believe how fast time goes. We are at the end of this transfer, so I may be leaving Valdepeñas this next week. We are kinda in the mountains, dad. But really all the mountains here are only hills. But it´s pretty gorgeous. Olive trees and grape vines everywhere. I love olive trees. And the olives here aren´t bad either. Somehow I´ve been able to choke them down :) Mom, you would love it. Oh and dad, que va, hombre. Si puedo comprender un manchego o andaluz, puedo comprenderte :) Mi español no es perfecto, pero puedo comunicarme completemente. Puedo hablar español! Es super raro para decir eso. Pero asi es, y estoy muy agradecido por el don de lenguas :) Really though, it´s strange to think that I´m bilingual now. Because I feel confidant enough in my spanish to say that now. I´m still improving, but it´s a good feeling to understand a whole conversation completely. So basically I love all the names of the bunnies. Super awesome. Harry Potter is the best. Oh and about the money from Christmas. Honestly I haven´t used like any of it yet. The reason is basically becuase I´m afraid that it won´t work here. But I should try it. I think I´ll have to use it in a bigger store, becasue a lot of little stores here don´t take cards. But I´ll be trying to spend it soon. Maybe I´ll buy a nice spanish suit for 35 euros with it :) I love cheap dress clothes! And for my birthday. Am I really turning 20 in a transfer? That´s weird. But the only things I can think of are the new 2013 EFY cd (I need some new tunes :) )  and flash drives are always good. That way I can put videos on them and watch them with investigators. Other than that, any kind of american candy or food. Beef Jerky is delicious as well as trail mix, and anything with peanut butter. Oh and if you can find a good maple extract, that would be awesome too (no syrup here, kinda a bummer). But yeah, really that´s all I can think of. Oh and to be honest I can´t really remember how to send picutres from the MTC exactly. I think you basically just need to "attach a file" to your email and then find the camara on "my computer" and then choose the pictures. I cán´t remember if there are any specific steps though. Good luck. Oh and that´s a great story from Logan, super funny :) And Ammon, when will they just finally decide what you´re going to be. It´s like you have multiple personality disorder or something. So a cool story this week. Nothing too exciting happened. Well we did have a talent show that me and Elder Durfey won (well tied for first with another act) I played Apologize on the piano and sang while he beatboxed. Pretty sweet. And so that answers your question papi, yeah I´ve played the piano (a lot) and sang. But other than that I´ve really just had the opportunity to see someone really change. We have an investigator that will be getting baptized this week. He has made a full 360 in his life. Before he was a natural man, but now he has put off the natural man and is willing to change completely. We talked about his baptismal date the other day and he said, no I´m not ready, I still have one thing to fix. And after talking for a little while I just said, well why not just change it? Right now, just decide to never do it again. You have that power and faith to just stop, why not just do it? So he said, you´re right, I´m just going to change. And so he did :) That´s all it takes. Just the determination and desire to change and then the faith and power to do it. And we all have that ability. We need to follow Spencer W Kimball´s advice and DO IT. I am so grateful for that ability that we have through the atoning sacrafice of our older brother. It is truly the greatest thing we have recieved. I love you all and wish you all the best. Keep up the good work.
Con amor,
Elder Charlie Flint

PS I might be changing addresses this next week. I´ll let you know as soon as I can.
