It is crazy that your mission father has died (Returned with Honor). I read a little bit on his blog, and he only served in four areas! He really loved his mission, and was able to show his parents around for a week when they came to pick him up. Tell us all about your new companion. Where is he from? Does he speak English? Are all of the missionaries serving there from the states? I hope the two of you get along well, please tell us his name.
Earlier this week, I watched a few clips on YouTube where Ellen Degeneres sets up a scene where someone needs help from strangers. After the stranger stops to help for a minute, they reveal that they are on her show doing the 'cash for kindness' segment. It amazes me how many people would walk by or refuse to help. The people who stopped amaze me, as well as remind me of you. You are good at being aware of the needs of others and helping. As I was mowing the lawn yesterday evening, a smile crossed my face as I thought to myself, "if you were here, and saw me mowing, you would simply walk up and take over for me." That part of your personality is admirable. You rarely ever share the stories of who or how you've helped. Perhaps they seem like no big deal to you, but they can be game-changers in people's lives. So keep obeying those prompting and helping others as directed by the spirit. I have no doubt that as you do this blessings will flow into both your lives. Mosiah 2:17.
I gave my first lesson in Gospel Doctrine today, it was strange because for the last 2 decades I have always been with the youth and children. I rarely even get to attend the adult classes let alone ever teach. Thankfully, I was among friends. They actively participated and had wonderful contributions that made me feel uplifted and edified. This will truly be a testimony growing experience for me.
I don't have any new pictures to send this week. I didn't do much but Malachi went camping with dad on Friday then Saturday afternoon he was a rock star at his soccer game. He is really improving! I am super excited to visit with you next Sunday, my eyes fill with tears just thinking about it!
I love you so so much!
Mucho gusto amore,

Hey mom!
This week was really más o menos. I had a lot of fun with Elder Morris but I'm still sick however I'm l getting better. I've been thinking of how fast my mission is going because it feels just yesterday I was in Vigo talking to y'all. Anyways I'm really excited for two things, one I get to see your wonderful faces and the other thing I'll send in another email. I love you all and I'll see you on Sunday with FaceTime at 9:30 am there and 5:30 pm here because the islands are an hour difference form Madrid, its an 8 hours difference between us. I love y'all and nos vemos el Domingo.

Dear Elders and Sisters,
We hope everyone is well. We have great pleasure to inform you that we will be blessed as mission to receive a visit from Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. The meeting will be held on Saturday, May 14 in Pavones from 16:00 to 18:30 hours. All missionaries of the mission, except the Canary Islands are invited to this meeting. The missionaries of the Canary Islands have a special meeting with Elder Bednar on Monday, May 16 in the chapel of Las Palmas from 14:00 to 16:00 hours.
We must prepare ourselves spiritually for this great opportunity. We ask everyone to be seated reverently at least a half hour before the meeting begins. We will send information about your trip to Madrid and Las Palmas to have this information available. It is a blessing to share this experience with you.
Fondly, President and Sister Pack
