Elder Boden

104 Days in Spain Hola Hola!!! This was a super fast week!! We were busy busy this week!!  We did exchanges with the Zone Leaders this week, it was a lot of fun! Elder Perry came here and my companion, Elder Peters, went to Alicante for the day. While we were out contacting, we were reminded of a good lesson. If you're going to use the contact approach of, "Hey, excuse me, do you know where i can find...?" Make sure that whatever thing you're asking for help finding isn't the building you're both standing in front of... Otherwise you just the, "Are you kidding me?" look... Go us Here's a really cool story from this week!! The other night, we got a call from an unknown number. We answered and the person introduced himself as Conner, and that he lives in Scotland, but is visiting here for a few days on vacation and would love to meet with us! We met at a Burger King, not entirely sure of what to expect, but it turns out he is a 15 ...

February and 70's Hey everyone !!!! Another pretty good week here on Benidorm!!! Not a ton happened this week, and yet it still seemed so busy I'm loving the climate here!! I keep forgetting that it's actually February,  because for the first time in almost 5 months, I've been wearing short sleeved shirts  it's perfect here!!! Today was a rather cooler day which meant we were allowed to go near the beach cuz there wouldn't be anyone enjoying the sun "too much..." and it was super fun!!! This is such a fun city! It's literally a population of like 80% tourists, lots of angry old English and Dutch people! Yesterday was Elder Peter's birthday,  which was a lot of fun! A few members threw a really big surprise party and cooked a super fancy meal and delicious dessert and then last night we had some of the best Arroz con Leche that I've had here, (hint, it's really good with small cheese blocks..) lots of fun!  Here'...

I'm So Grateful for This Incredible Church! Not much has happened since my last email because my Preperation day was only last Wednesday,  so this email won't be very long, but I'll just share a cool experience from last night!! We met with some Jehovah's witnesses,  and had a really good talk about just the importance of Jesus Christ and having a real relationship with Him!!! And it was really good, and near the end we talked just a little but about our different beliefs and it was so interesting to me, I walked away just feeling so confident in my testimony and feel so much love for my Savior. I have no doubt that this is the true Church of Jesus Christ! There is no other church that truly has doctrines that make perfect sense. I know with all my heart that if we follow Moroni's promise in Moroni 10:3-5 and pray with real intent, through the power of the Holy Ghost,  we can know the truth of all things!! I am so proud to be a member of the Fullness of Th...

New Area, New Comp Hola hola!!!!! Sorry for not writing last week,  we were crazy busy on our Preperation Day!!! So no worries, I am still alive!!! A lot has happened in the past two weeks!!! We had transfers,  and I went from freezing cold, beautiful San Sebastián,  to perfect climate, trashy beach town Benidorm!!! It's literally like the Las Vegas of Spain,  the majority of the population here is just old tourists!! Its such a party here 24/7 though The branch here has a ton of drama,  but the members love the missionaries which rocks because we have eating appointments every single day!!!! (If you want to know where my area is, it's the little point that sticks out on the east side of Spain) I actually love it though, the hand of The Lord is so prevalent here, and He is really helping us everyday!!! My new companion is Elder Peter's! He is from Minnesota,  has about a year in the mission, and is a super good missionary!!!! Loves to work ha...
