Mother's Day Phone Call
Nick sounds and looks great. The work is challenging but the members work hard to help them. There is a lot of reactivation occurring in Badalona. Many people have moved to find employment. Nick's companion, Elder Cannell,is coming home in one transfer; Nick in two. One of their diversions was to create a chain of ties that was long enough to go the height of a 9-story building. His advice to incoming missionaries is that they shouldn't believe that Spaniards can't be baptized. He hopes that Alberto, the husband of a recently activated sister, will be baptized.
Check out our Ryser family blog to see his reaction to Maggie's engagement.
Radio is for the birds
Not really.. just trying to get your attention.
Nick and President Hinckley participated in a live radio broadcast from the Badalona Chapel. President Hinckley posted this picture and compliment: "Elder Ryser got some airtime and did a great job!"
They also found this falcon sparrow? on their balcony and hoped he found his way back to safety.
From March 21, he wrote:
"This week we did splits and they have the most interesting man ever. They're teaching a guy named Miguel Angel, from Madrid. He called up the elders one day and told them he had a spiritual confirmation that the Church is true and wants to be baptized. The most interesting part is that he lives an hour and a half up the mountain on foot (we hiked in our suits and tennis shoes)... in a monastery! Yep he was training to be a monk that lives in solitude and when he was meditating in the chapel there in the mountains, the spirit said "What are you doing here? You know the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true." So he is going to escape the monastery and be baptized in Madrid this week."
