Dear Mom, Dad and Sam:
[Week of Nov. 22-28]
Monday - Well like I
said last week, we pretty much just chilled. Then we cleaned the piso and did
shopping. Then at night we went bowling with Howard and Ronald. That was pretty
much the day.

Tuesday - So today we
met with Jorge. He's progressing super good. He's still pretty excited for his
baptism this upcoming Saturday so we are excited for him. Then we had consejo
with the branch president and the relief society president as well. After that
the Elders from Lanzarote came here to Fuerteventura for an intercambio. We got
some yummy pizza for dinner and stayed up pretty late talking together.
Wednesday - So today
was really cool. We did our intercambio this morning. I went with Elder Douglas
and found out some stuff about him and how I'll be able to help him this
transfer. We got food from the branch president's wife again. Today, it was
this really good rice and beans dish. The beans were similar to Chris's baked
beans. Then right after medio Día we all hopped on a plane to go to Gran
Canaria for zone training. It was a 40 minute flight, really similar to like a
Nashville to Atlanta flight. We got there at about 7, and took a 30 minute bus
ride to Las Palmas. We made tríos with the zone leaders and went contacting.
There was 8 of us sleeping in the piso with the Zone leaders. Let's just say we
didn't get to sleep for a while.
Thursday - So today
was a great day! We woke up and did studies. Then we had Zone training at the
chapel. The missionaries on Gran Canaria and the 4 from my district were there
in Gran Canaria, and the the missionaries on Tenerife Skyped in all together.
The meeting was really good and we received the Christmas initiatives for this
year. Then, the matrimony couple serving on Gran Canaria, the Rogers, made us a
huge thanksgiving feast. It was AMAZING!

Afterwards we got permission to have 2
hours of free time to play games. We played one called lobos which is like
mafia. We also played the question game and ping pong. It was sooooooo fun! I
loved the entire thing.
Then, after the meeting Elder Perez and I stayed in Gran Canaria and started our intercambio with the Zone leaders. I went with Elder Lords. He's from Idaho we actually knew each other from the first time I was here and the last time I saw him was on the turkey bowl last year so it had been exactly a year since I had seen him. We caught up and actually got to teach some lessons.
Friday - This morning
we finished our intercambio with the Zone leaders and then we flew back to
Fuerteventura at like 2. We ate lunch and did weekly planning. Then my
companion was feeling pukey so we stayed in for the night. We actually also met
with Jorge today, he has some doubts about tithing and he said he doesn't know
if he can get baptized. We both bore very strong testimonies and gave him missionary
promises that he would receive a testimony of it if he prayed to get an answer
by Sunday.

Saturday - Today we
started with going and getting ready for the branch activity we were going to
have in a little pueblo called Betancuria. The Rogers came from Gran Canaria to
the activity. The activity was basically just a huge barbecue. We bought food
for 50 and only 35 showed up so we had a ton of food. We had ribs, chicken,
pork chops, and basically brats. It was super good food and we had a ton of it.
When we got there it just started pouring rain on us. We thought we were gonna
have to head back but we said a prayer and asked for the weather to pass. The
rest of the day we had some cloud cover but the weather was perfect. I've got a
bunch of pictures.

| Yummy! |

Sunday - So today was
awesome. Jorge came to church for two hours! (He can normally only come to the
first hour.) He told us after second hour that he had received an answer and
that he indeed is getting baptized the 3 of December! Ca-ching! Haha! It was so
awesome and the answer to so many prayers. After church we went to Zenon and
Elena's house to eat. The food was better than last week and the food last week
was really good! So, I've been just getting spoiled this transfer already.
Jorge got his baptismal interview done tonight using skype and then after that
we went to eat with Yolanda and Nacho. It was fresh snapper and fried potatoes.
I love the members and the food I get here!!!!

Monday - So today is
similar to last week. Just chilling and cleaning. We really don't have any
plans so it's gonna be a nice day.
