[Week of March 13-19]
Monday - So like I said last week, we went with Jose Balaños
and we got to see some really cool touristy stuff. As well, afterwards we
taught a lesson to a new investigator named Sonia. After that we taught
Patricia's husband. His name is Fernando. We'll see if maybe he's interested in
listening and maybe they could go through the temple together.
Tuesday - Today we went to Morro Jable again. We visited
with J-mex and we had a really good time. We were down there for about 4 hours
and then we had to come back up to Puerto del Rosario. It was a pretty good
day. We had a really good time.
Wednesday - So today the Elders from Lanzarote came over for
intercambios. I went with Elder Pulotu. We had district meeting this morning
and afterwards we did some contacting. We basically spent the whole day on the
streets looking for some new people to teach. We found one lady named Charo
but, it seems like she may have just liked the way Elder Pulotu looks, haha! We
had a really good day. I always love going on intercambios with him because we
were companions and it's fun to be with him again. 
Thursday - This morning the other Elders were still here so
I was still with Elder Pulotu. We had a street lesson and at the end the guy
told us he was JW and not interested in our message. Haha! It was fun. Then for
Medio día we ate lunch with Paco and Nati. Afterwards we went with Paco to a
pueblo called Gran Tarajal. We visited with our recent convert, Nelido, as well
we visited with a less active lady, Ana Maria. It was a pretty good day.
Friday - Today was really laid back. Elder Boyd is going
home on Tuesday of next week so to clean off his IPad we had to start today
moving all of the files over to his pin drive. Then we ate lunch in the Piso.
Then we had studies this afternoon, and we had a visit with Yolanda tonight as
well. She made us some really delicious lasagna. It was a good day.
Saturday - This morning we played fútbol with a bunch of
military guys. We were on a team with the three missionaries and two members
and we played against these teams that were way better than us but we actually
held our own and we're competitive. It was really fun. Then after lunch we did
weekly planning. 
Today we got transfer news! Elder Boyd is going home! Woah, no
one was expecting that. Haha! Elder Douglas will be staying here, and his new
companion is Elder Reese. I will also be staying here and my new companion is
Elder Ward. He's been out about a year and a half. He's from Washington. He's
gonna get here on Monday at 9:30 with Elder Reese. We're excited to be keeping
four missionaries here. We've got work and hopefully we'll see some progress
with the branch becoming a ward.
Sunday - Today we had stake conference. President Pack
visited and spoke during the meeting. We Skyped in to the meeting which was
actually held in Las Palmas. We had a visiting general authority which was
Elder Paul V. Johnson. He's in the area presidency here. It was a good meeting.
After that Elder Boyd got picked up by a member to head over to the airport to
catch his flight to Madrid.
Elder Douglas and I went to Zenon's house as
always. Then we went to a guy named Isiais' house. He's a new investigator and
he's got a lot of desire to hear about the gospel with the recent death of his
father. We are super excited because he's a really nice guy and he's young and
married which doesn't happen very often here. We had thunderstorms here
which was the first time in like 10
years that Zenon could remember that! There was also hail. It was super cool,
basically like being back home.
Monday - Today was good. We cleaned the Piso and then went
to do some shopping. We ate Burger King for lunch. Then we did compras and now
we just have some chill time to write emails and hang out before the two new
guys get here at 9:30 tonight. We are excited for the opportunity to keep 4
missionaries here.
Love you guys.
Love,
Elder Harris
