Goodbye Aranjuez!

Note from mom:

So, this is going to be just kind of a transition page...

I don't have Gabe's email update for the next week yet, but I wanted to just post a couple pictures here of him attending the temple with Smith (which he was soooo excited to do RIGHT before he got on the train to leave) and also a picture of him with Elder Olson. A couple hours after these pictures were taken, he was on a four-hour long train ride heading from Madrid to Cartagena.

As I am typing this, Gabe has been in his new area of Cartagena for about 24 hours, and we are counting the days until Sunday when we can talk to him again and hear all about it! We know that he has a companion named Elder Bradshaw and that the area they will be living in has been kind of "closed" for the past month of so because Elder Bradshaw had been there, but his companion (a missionary from Spain) had his visa come through, and was then shipped off to someplace else. So they took Elder Bradshaw and put him into a threesome in a different place until this transfer was over! Gabe uploaded a picture of him and Elder Bradshaw cleaning out the fridge in their apartment, and it was kind of obvious it hadn't been lived in for the past month! Gabe is noooot going to live like that, lol, so they are cleaning today! That's all I know for now!
