Elder Jacinto got the bean, Nick's the king.
El Alma del Ebro was created for the International Exposition
last August. It is eleven meters high, the sculpted letters represent cells of the human body which is over 60% water. Its white letters and hollow structure invite the view to look inside and reflect on the relationship between human beings and water.
This porcelain statue was created by the Lladró company in Valencia, using two
Spain Barcelona Missionaries as models. Looks like Nick eh?

The Lord has blessed us with some amazing miracles this week. There is a quote from an apostle that says "To reach a goal that has never been reached you must do things that have never been done." As I said before we have been having a hard time finding new people to teach and well we have been doing almost everything. We contact, we visit old investigators, we ask for references, and set up activities and things to get the members involved but there was one thing we discovered we were not doing... knocking doors. I have always figured knocking doors is not very effective because well my entire mission I have gotten one investigator out of it... until this week. So we decided we were going to do that and the first door we knock was Maybis, Frostina and Desmond. After that we found a man one floor beneath them named Starling who told us that he has been waiting for a long time to come back to church and raise his family with God! We go to another house and knock the building and found a Romanian family who is incredible and they all were asking us for Books of Mormon. In the end because we knocked doors and the fast that we did without agreeing on it was to find new investigators we received 15 new investigators this week! I have never met so many good people who are willing to listen to the gospel in just one week but the Lord has blessed us for our efforts.
