Hola familia!
First off, HAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPYYYYYYYY BBBIIIIIIIIRRRRRTTTHHDDDAAAAAAAAY MOOOOOMMMMMAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So sadly I have not been to Portugal yet. But I have been to Sevilla, which is one of the more famous cities in Spain. It´s also like the hottest. It was burning up. So Skyler is off in Korea! I haven´t heard from him yet, but I´m sure he´s doing great. So I´ll give you the scoop on my new area. My comps name is Elder Curtis. He´s from Salt Lake and has been out for about 4 months. He went to East High so he loves High School Musical. Just kidding. He´s a big kid. He played football for Dixie and weighed about 330 at that point. He´s dropped a ton of weight, but still a big kid. We won´t be getting messed with by any Spaniards, that´s for sure. And Badajoz. Badajoz is about 800 years old. It´s a city of about 150,000 people. The rama has 50-60 active members and they are amazing. They are super helpful and willing when it comes to missionary work and we are really excited to work with them. We have people from everywhere in the rama here. Peruvians, Colombians, Brasiliens, Portugese, Spaniards, members from Angola, China, all over the place. It´s pretty crazy. Here in the area we also have a set of Hermanas. They are both from Utah too! So for Utah missionaries in one Rama, pretty great. This week has been a tough one, but we are figuring it all out. We just need to get a good base here in the area. But once we figure it out I´m sure things will all work out. I miss Valdepeñas a ton, but that´s okay.
So Skyler is in Korea! That´s so crazy. I remember the flight to Spain. It was only like 12 hours, instead of 24, but I was still exhausted. We got to go to bed early and wake up a little late though so that was good. But it all depends on the President, but I´m sure he´ll let them rest a bit. It´s super crazy for me to think that my little brother is a missionary. Super weird. But it´s awesome. One of the hermanas has a brother in Japan right now. And he´s actually going home pretty soon. Crazy stuff. So mom you´re thinking about becoming a vegetarian, huh? Well let me just remind you of a little place called Tucanos. Could you really ditch out on Tucanos when we go again, becuase when I get back we shall be going to Tucanos :) Meat is just way too good. So what are the other plans for the birthday? Can you put some cake in my package? :) Just kidding that would be gross. Oh and my address here in Badajoz is:

Elder Charles Dale Flint
c. Gaspar Mendez Nº15, 3ºE
06011 Badajoz
ESPAÑA

and to the mission home is:

Elder Charles Dale Flint
Mision Malaga España
Av. Jesús Santos Rein Nº2, 3D-E
Edif. Ofisol, Fuengirola
29640 Málaga
ESPAÑA

You can send the package to either one. If there is one thing I could ask for for you to add, it would be my dark blue v neck (shirt) That´s about it. Oh and the whole ATM thing, yeah that stunk. I was in Sevilla without money, so I had to take some out with my card. I didn´t think it would take out that much! That´s insane. But it won´t happen again, believe you me. But I hope things go well for you this week, I´m really excited to hear from you again. Love you all a ton!
Con amor,
Elder Charlie Flint
