[February 23 – 27]
Thursday - Wow, today was a great day! The Mission Tour was
amazing! We had a meeting that began at 11 and it lasted until 3. President and
Hermana Pack only spoke for about 15 minutes of that time. The wife of Elder Soares
spoke for about 15 minutes and then Elder Ulisses S. Soares had all the rest of
the time. Wow...I can't even express how much I learned. There was no new
material, taught but he taught it in a new way. He taught in a very open
classroom style and allowed anyone who wanted to talk to make any comments they
wanted. It was super bomb!
Then after that, we ate lunch. Then we had a meeting
with Elder Soares and his wife for all of the District leaders and the zone
leaders. In there we reviewed the meeting and talked about everything we
discussed. They asked where we were from and got to know us a little bit, then
they gave us all hugs and left. It was super awesome! We talked about the
vision that we should have as missionaries, as well what should our commitment
level be and what are the promised blessings that we can receive. He is a great
teacher and I feel like I personally learned a ton and that everyone there
learned a lot as well.

Friday - This morning we did weekly planning. Then we had
studies all this afternoon. We had a lesson with Patricia today. She is doing
super good, and she is actually going to be at the temple all next week. We are
so excited for her and the progress we have seen her make.
Saturday - This morning we played fútbol and we had a really
good turnout. Two less-actives and 4 investigators. It was a super fun game.
Then after that we went to Piso and I made pasta for everybody. This afternoon
we did some contacting and didn't really have too much luck. The carnaval
period is about to strike Fuerteventura so we don't really know what to expect
but we are excited. Haha!

Sunday - Today we had church. It went really good. John
came today and told us some really good news. His dad is coming here on Tuesday
which means he is going to get baptized on Saturday! We are super excited! We
had to do some scrambling today to get a baptismal interview done but, it all worked
out and we are having a baptism on Saturday. We ate lunch at Zenon's house as
always. Then we had dinner at Yolanda's. She made us ropa vieja (like Cuban beef stew). Look it up.
It's super good.
Monday - Today we played Padel for the morning. Then we went
to the mall and ate at burger King. Then we did compras and went back to Piso.
I took a power nap for thirty minutes and now we're writing emails. Everything
is going pretty good. My headaches are gone and my health is good, we may need
to talk about getting a new suit for me in a little while because my gray one may or
may not have ripped super bad. I'm gonna see if I can get it fixed first
though.
I love you all,
Elder Harris
