New email address

For some reason, missionaries' addresses have recently changed.  Write to Nick now at:

The Ourense ward is having a Pioneer/Western party this weekend and here's what
somebody drew of the four elders.
Notice Nick's cigarette.





Another photo on the Bilbao mission blog. Nick looks pretty focused
on pulling his sock up - more than listening to the leaders - ha ha.

Nick's leaving the Bilbao mission

That got your attention, eh?  Effective July 1, the Spain Bilbao mission will be dissolved and the boundaries of the Spain Barcelona and Spain Madrid Missions will be realigned to include the areas now served by Nick's mission.

His response on Monday, 2/8, was:  "Its going to be interesting because I will have more time in the other mission than for the one i was really called to.  How strange.  Honestly i am just excited for it... Going to either mission would be incredible in my opinion though.  I could serve with Jose! How awesome would that be.  I also really want to see all those cities in that mission and well President Hinckley's son is the president there so that would be pretty interesting.  Madrid I would be excited for because that means I could have the chance to go to the temple during my mission which would be a huge help and relief for me and well they have the Canary Islands in that mission."

What a resilient guy. They're teaching a man named Michael, who is doing amazing. He's read a lot of the Book of Mormon and says the only thing he needs is a scripture marker.

These are from the mission blog:

 
Nick's new companion is Elder Renshaw.



Goofy picture in their apartment. They're making decorations for a ward event.
