Valencia
Nick's having a great time in this lovely city, Valencia, that hosts a crazy festival.
In emails, he wrote:
"my companion is Elder Hughes. He is a very good teacher and very effective with examples - we get along well. I am in a four man piso. The other two are both from St George and happened to know each other before the mission.
Ted, your prophecy will come true. I am going to get really fat. All the missionaries that come through this city gain at least 10-15 pounds because the members feed us wayyy too much and wayyy too often. Here's some Paella that served 80 people!
Daniel's baptism sounds like a nightmare: "We got lost on the way to the interview and showed up late. Then on the baptismal day he had trouble getting there but finally we found a member that could pick him up. We spent about an hour and a half before the baptism looking for a place to make the programs and copy them. Then they copied them and did it upside down on the inside. After that we found out the person that was going to baptize him didn't know he was doing it! We call him... turns out he hurt his chest and couldn't lift heavy things. So we had to find someone else to baptize him. The speakers didn't show up so my companion gave both talks. The oven was messed up so it took forever to make cookies for afterwards. The clothes were too big for him so they were all baggy. We didn't have towels for them to use to dry off. It was just one giant mess but the important thing is that he was baptized. I will remember that baptism forever for all of the crazy things that happened."
Nick's last night in Badalona - some members held a going away party for Nick.

Happy Birthday!
She described Nick as a "wise and seasoned missionary. His comments are so solid. He teaches well, he's a good example. He can take a special assignment from President Hinckley, who trusts him."
I'd be happy to play it for you if you want to hear it (proud mom).
