Hola familia!!
Hi guys! I have arrived safe and sound in MADRID!!! I am so tired and wow that was a long flight getting here, the first one wasn´t too bad but the second one is one heck of a plane ride! The plane rides were awful, you get no sleep and you cant do anything! Like i was super faithful and didn´t even listen to music.. KILL ME NOW! However the Elders and Sisters I came with are amazing! I am just grateful i get to be surrounded by them becuase already they have been lifting me up! In Netherlands airport we had a three hour lay over which i tried to sleep for most of it.. It is impossible when at home it is like 4 o clock there! But after that we pulled out our scriptures and we had a little scripture study and everyone kind of bore testimoney of the scriptures we just read. That was amazing, It is crazy the the spirit of the lord can be anyway and everywhere ifyou just invite it into your hearts. We read Alma 17:10 there is apart where the he asks the lord for comfort and he is given comfort it was just so sweet to know that everyone is going through the exact same thing i am. Alma 42:31 is basically why we are out here. Netherlands was beautiful although we had to walk through sercurity again and guys with huge machine guns everywhere it wa still pretty cool but Madrid is awesome! It is basically like utah.. looks like utah and it is brown. Except for the moutains and we have much cooler buliding over here too. I have this little book called missionary reminders and it says when going through customs and you have to declare something. Declare that gospel has been restored and this is the only true church. I lol´d hard on that one. However we didn´t go through customs.. It is a little different than i thought it was going to be, we got off the plane and no one was there to greet us so we walked around like lost sheep trying to see where they might be or who to call. After an hour finally two people from the MTC came and than we had to wait another hour for another set of missionaries. Lets just say already by patience has been tried! Finally we arrived at the MTC, got something to eat and now we are sitting here writing some emails! Luckily our actual mission doesn´t start till tomorrow THANK THE HEAVENS ABOVE because i am a freakin zombie right now. We get to unpack, shower, get dinner and hopefully get to bed a little eariler than i hope! Seriously people aren´t lying when they say the temple is right there. I am looking out at a giant beautiful white temple and man it is one of the coolest things i have ever seen! I am kind of dissappointed there was no welcoming group or anything like that but they said they weren´t excepting us.. I have no idea where everyone else is but hopefully tomorrow will make more sense! We have to meet with our MTC Presidenttonight on the door to where we meet they have all of our names on the door I am Elder Knell on there.. right on! Church is still true! I don´t think i have anymore to say and our time is almost up.. I will hopefully email this week also!! I love you all!! I hope everyone is doing well! Miss you lots!! Thank you for everything!! Look for your own missionary opportunies!
Love Hermana Knell
