[Week of March 27 - April 2]
Tuesday and Wednesday - Well I had some more migraines and
didn't really get to do much. I don't really know what the deal is with them
but they come and go every once and a while. So we pretty much just chilled in
Piso. I slept like 17 hours on Tuesday.

Thursday - Today was awesome, we got to go and do service
again at Paco and Nati's house. We are still working on the roofing and some
clearing out of old stuff. It was really fun. I love that in this area we get
to do so much service! This is my only area where I can say we've done service
basically every week. After service we went home and did studies and went to
bed because we have to catch a 8:30 flight to Tenerife.

Friday - Today we had zone conference in Tenerife. It was
really great! We saw the new Easter initiative video, Prince of Peace. It is
amazing! If you haven't seen it I challenge you to watch it. It has a great
message and it isn't very long. As well, if you could share it on Social media
that would be awesome. It's an easy thing to do, and it will help people to
know that we are Christians and that we believe in the same Savior everyone
does. Today was actually my first time in Tenerife and I loved it. The island
is so green and beautiful. It's more humid than our island but it would definitely
be worth coming back and trying to see the cool stuff on it.
Saturday - So today we caught a 7 a.m. Flight back to
Fuerteventura. We had to get up at 5 a.m. and then try to catch a taxi to the
airport because there is not a bus that early in the morning. We got to the
airport at about 6 and waited to take off. I love that we get to fly around so
much and try out all the other islands. It's a blessing of being on your own
island. We watched conference today and it was Amazing! I don't know if I have a
favorite talk but I really loved all of it. Seriously it was a spiritual feast
for the World. I can't believe when I was younger I didn't like watching it or
paying attention. We watched both of the Saturday day sessions today and
tomorrow we will watch Priesthood and the other two sessions tomorrow.
Sunday - Today was really good as well, the sessions of
conference were amazing. My favorite talk overall was Dale G. Renlund's talk.
Although I also really enjoyed the talks by D Todd and Dallin H. Oaks. The whole
thing was great and to hear the announcement of new temples was cool. If there
was a general theme I would have to say that I think it is building personal
testimonies of the basics and striving to become like Christ. There was also a
lot of focus on the Holy Ghost. As well, Ulisses Soares talked and that was
really cool because I literally just hugged that man like 6 weeks ago and now
I'm receiving instruction from him in general conference. It was a very
spiritually uplifting experience all around and I'm already excited for
conference in October.
Drive from Antigua
Monday - Today we are having a really laid back P-day and
just chilling. Next pday we will be hanging out with Jose Balaños. Oh, so my
suit ripped. And I doubt we are gonna be able to fix it again. So to buy a new
one I'll need about 100$ or a little more. It'll be a nice good quality suit
from Zara. This could just be my birthday present if that's okay with you guys?
I ripped my suit by literally bending over very slowly to pick up a pen. I was
trying to be careful and it happened anyways. Today we made burritos for lunch
and they were delicious. I actually really enjoy cooking and learning how to
make new dishes. Maybe I'll be a professional cook someday. Haha! I would
really love to see if maybe when I come home I can take some cooking
classes...but, it would just be a hobby. I also really want to learn how to
dance like they do here. Like the salsa or Bachata dances.
