!Bienvenidos a Tarragona!

Dear family and friends, 

Well I am a little sad right now because I just typed up the most wonderful email probably ever in the world and the whole thing just got deleted. I honestly am SO sad right now. It talked all about what has been happening and my area and how much I LOVE IT HERE! But since I just spent the last hour typing that one up... this one will have to be really short. I am so so sorry! 

I am so happy here in Spain! I love it so much! I feel so blessed to be here! After 3 days of living in a hotel we finally got to move into our piso! I love our piso! It is so fun and beautiful and brand new! Tarragona is absolutely beautiful!!! It is a cute little town with mountains, the ocean and Roman ruins! It is gorgeous! PLUS the missionary work and the members are incredible! They basically do ALL the work! I really think missionaries are only here to help mentor them... which is great :) We don´t buy groceries basically because the members ask to feed us for every medio dia and for every dinner! The members have already planned to do a Thanksgiving dinner for us and are starting to ask about Christmas dinners! I can´t wait! I love them all already and it´s only been a week! I feel so very blessed! They LOVE doing missionary work and plan lots of activities every week so that their friends can learn about the church! It is just perfect! 

We do lots of traveling here in Tarragona but I love it and even though we have to go on hour long bus rides sometimes, Heavenly Father always provides ways for us to keep working and not waste His time.

We had district meeting this past week and the Elders in our district are Elder Muncy (District leader), Elder Cook, Elder Streadbeck and Elder Parker. They are all great Elders and work very hard! I am excited to work all together to accomplish our district goals! Hermana McWhorter is the cutest! I love being companions with her and I am already learning so much from her! It has been really weird to be in a two person piso since I came from a 4 but I love it because we can get so much done and we learn so much more together! It is really incredible! 

We have lots of investigators right now... they are basically all from Nigeria! We have a whole pool of Nigerians to help :) It is really fun! They all speak English though so we have to translate in church for them. It is quite the adventure (I don´t think my spanish is quite up to par for that one yet haha). They are all doing great and progressing wonderfully! I will tell you more about them next week! I will send lots of pictures tonight :) I hope you can all try to enjoy Tarragona with me through these pictures!

Thanks for all you are doing! You are all such great examples to me and I look up to every single one of you! I am so grateful for this wonderful work of the Lord that we are all involved in together! Just remember that we are ALL missionaries with or without the chapa! Just forget yourself and go to work! Remember that every soul is precious to our Heavenly Father and it is our job to go out and help bring His children back home to Him. DON¨T WASTE A SINGLE MINUTE!!! 

I love you all! Have a great week! Happy almost Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for all of you!

Love, 
Hermana Eyring
