When I wrote y'all last week, I was in McDonald's eating some fries so I could use their free wifi. And it dawned on me that I didn't recognize the music that was being played. I said something about that out loud to the other missionaries that were there, and they all congratulated me. Because apparently it means that "I have arrived" in the missionary world, and that I am a "real missionary" now. As missionaries, we can only listen to Church music or uplifting music. It helps us to stay focused on our work here as missionaries. And I totally agree. It is so hard now to just start latin dancing in public. Shakira was right when she said that my hips don't lie.
Anyway, we were able to have our zone conference last week, and as usual it was amazing! They are always so refreshing and rejuvenating. It always just makes us want to go out and work our hardest. I also just love learning from our mission president and his wife. They are amazing! They always help us to realize our true potential, not only as misionaries, but as people.
We had the opportunity to go to La Rambla today where the attack had happened. I'm sure you have all seen pictures of all of the flowers, candles, etc. But there is something different about seeing it in person. Especially with all of the armed police that were everywhere. Life is fragile. But we also can't live in fear. It's an interesting balance that we need to learn. While we were there, I saw a girl that was wearing a shirt that says, "Hate Love, Love Hate". I just thought that that was kinda of ironic considering where we were at.
Well, my time is wrapping up here in Hospitalet. Next week I will be writing from a new area! I can't believe that I have been here for six months. It'll be weird to leave my first area, since I have been here for so long, and I don't know anything else. I have so many friends here, and I know all the streets here better than the streets back home. Well, I love you all! Also, shout out to Gabe and Emm on getting hitched this week! Wooo! Until next week!

Ps- We were sitting outside of our apartment the other day, and this drunk man comes walking by listening to his music and rapping to himself. When he saw us, he obviously knew that we were missionaries, cause he starting rapping about the bible and stuff. It was hilarious! He didn't stop or anything, just kept walking down the street, but was singing about the bible haha. He mostly just kept saying "mantener la biblia" hahaha
