At the end of the day last Wednesday, we were talking to people walking around on the street, and we saw a guy with a cello. Of course I went up and started talking to him and told him we were both cellists. He told us that he taught at a school of music in Villalba. We kept talking to him on his way to the school, and we found out his name was Armen Antonian, a (relatively) famous Armenian cellist. He told us you can look him up on youtube so go and see how famous he actually is. He invited us to come and visit him in his school sometime after Semana Santa, which we might try and do. Right before we said goodbye, I asked if we could take a picture with him, in case I get transferred before he gets back from vacation.
Part 2 of a story from last week's email: on Saturday we went back and visited the family in Galapagar that we met last Tuesday. We taught Sonia, our Colombian friend, and the lesson went really well. We also brought a Book of Mormon in Bulgarian for her husband to read. He's not interested in listening to us right now, but now that he has a Book of Mormon in his own language he's curious to read it. At the end of the lesson, I had the thought to ask her if she knew anyone else who would like to meet with us, and she thought about it for a second, and said they had a family friend just around the street corner, who we could go meet right then. We said yes and went and met Magdalena and her family, who said they'd meet with us sometime this week. We're told to ask people for references, and it works!
Transfers are coming up this next weekend and there's a large possibility I'll leave Villalba. I'll be really sad but I'll do whatever the Lord wants me to do. General conference is this weekend too, which is really exciting. I hope you all enjoy it and receive spiritual guidance!
