July 24, 2017

[Week of July 17 – 23]

Monday  - Today for P-day we hung out with the Hermanas and Andriv and we played settlers of Catan for like 4 hours so that was fun. Then we made some cookies for the members and investigators that we have. As well, the Elders from Ourense were here for intercambios tomorrow so we had a sleepover. Yay! Haha!

DISTRICT: Elders Dargan, Knapp, Kamimoto, Harris, Schwanke, Jones
and Hermanas Kletzli and Otto
Tuesday - This morning we did some finding. Then we got on a bus for like 30 minutes to go to Iago and Karina's house. They made us some really delicious pasta for lunch. As well they told us all about their conversions and how they met. They were super cool. Then basically for the rest of the day we went to Raquel's hose to do service and help finish cleaning up her yard. She's so awesome and I seriously love her.

Raquel is so Awesome!
Wednesday - This morning we had district meeting. Then we ate lunch at this nice restaurant called Cambalache, you can look it up. Then we had a lesson with Juan José. Just watched the Restoration movie with him and he seemed to really enjoy it. Then we had English class. After English class we did some pass-bys and then we called it a day.

Thursday - This morning we did weekly planning and then we went and ate at Dennys and Vivíana's house. Then this afternoon we did our studies and then we went over to Angel and Leónor's house. We talked with them about staying strong through trials. They've been going through some stuff recently but, they have a lot of faith and willingness to try to be better.

Friday - This morning we did some finding. Then we went over to Andrivs house to get him to come with us to a lunch appointment in a pueblo of Vigo. We ate some really good mashed potatoes and meat. Then we went to the Chapel to get ready for the branch Talent show that we were gonna have. Then we had the talent show. Our act was a hit, we'll see if anyone posts it on my Facebook. Then we went home. It was a really good day.

Saturday - So today was awesome. This morning we got together with the JAS because we had been planning a paintball activity with them for about a month now and today was the day we decided to do it. It was super fun. The guns were kinda sucky because they were pump action, one shot at a time guns. But, the activity was a blast! We had 24 people there total. 13 of which are less active and an investigator came as well. It was Awesome! Then, we went home and got ready and did our studies. 

This evening we got our transfer info. I'm leaving, but, I had already known that the whole day because President Pack had called me in the morning to call me as a Zone Leader. I'm going to Madrid again. I'm actually going to be serving in Barrio 3 in Carabanchel. Carabanchel is a neighborhood here in Madrid. So today I started packing a little bit.


Sunday - Church was pretty good today. I got to share my testimony and say goodbye to everyone. It was sad. I feel a little cheated out of Vigo because I love this Area and I really, really want to come back someday. This afternoon we went and visited with some members and friends I had made here to say goodbye as well. Then we had our pancakes activity. Then we went home.

So-long, Esteban!

So-long Jose Carlos!
Last Pancake Activity - Tyler, Dargan, Christensen,  Bella, Jones, Kletzli, Schwanke, Knapp, Joshua & Vanessa
Monday - Well, today I'm spending most of my day in a train on the way to Madrid. My new companion is Elder Erickson. He's from Woodland Hills, Utah and he's actually gonna be finishing his mission this transfer. I'm excited for the new opportunities and for the chance to be able to go to the temple again. It's been almost a year since I went last.

Love,
Elder Harris
