Madrid is such a beautiful city. Every P-day I am allowed to spend 3 hours in the city. Today my district and I went to find the Real Madrid futból stadium...it took us about an hour just to find it and i cost 15 euros to take a tour so since we wanted to do other things we decided that maybe we would go back next week. We ended up in Sol. its an amazing part of Madrid. There is so much to look at and so many shops! All the shops are in the really old buildings. There are little vendors on the streets too. a lot of the vendors just have a blanket out with different items to buy such as: braclets, purses, watches and there was even a cotton candy man today. The people here are very beautiful and striking. I´m defiantly in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. We take the Metro everywhere! its a lot of fun...defiantly interesting. There was a live band on the Metro. Their were four men playing together and they were really good. After they played they walked around with a cup and people put there loose change in the cup. I love that! i almost feel like i´m in a movie when i´m on the metro, or just walking around in the city. Its all very surreal! I cant believe that i get this amazing opprotunity to be in SPAIN!
The language is a whole other story...its really been difficult for me. I´m doing pretty well with understanding the general idea of the conversation but when it comes to specifics like when someone asks me a question, then its difficult. But i know that with Heavenly Fathers help i´ll eventually get it. i hope you all enjoy reading this! Spain is wonderful and I love my mission!
