[Week of June 26 - July 2]
Monday - So like I said last week today was pretty chill. We
kinda just hung out. Played some ping pong with the Hermanas and then we called
it a day. Then we went to Angel and Leónor's house. We taught about Redemption
through Christ. They are both preparing to go through the temple so it's
awesome that they are wanting to meet with us so much and learn as much as they
can.
Tuesday - So today the landlord and the tile guy came to fix
the mess that was made last week and they were there for the whole morning
again. Then for lunch we ate in the Piso. Then we did our studies. Then we had
a lesson with our friend José Carlos. He's doing really well. He actually just
got a job this week and it looks like he could make a good bit of money. Which
would be awesome for him because we are trying to help him get out on a
mission. Then after that we went to Carmen's house. She's a really awesome
Dominican member here. She made us some really good carbonara pasta. We met her
older son there who is an inactive member and we are gonna try and meet with
him and talk about life sometime soon.
Wednesday - So this morning we did weekly planning. Then we
went over to Amanda and Ilda's house. They fed us some really good food. It's
cool because Amanda's nephew, Santiago, just got back from almost a year in
Alaska as a foreign exchange student. So, we got to know him and talk with him
in English a little bit which was fun. Then we had English class later. Then we
went over to Victor's house and he's doing fine. He's just continuing everyday
reading and praying. He's got demensia so it's really difficult for him to
retain anything that he reads or that we teach him. He's a great guy though.
Thursday - So this morning we had district meeting. For
lunch we went to Burger King as a district. It's weird how popular it is here
in Spain. I can't think of anyone back home that really loves BK like the
people do here. Well, after that I did an intercambio with Elder Dargan. He's from Orlando, Florida. He's a cool kid, he's been our about a year and it was a good day. We visited Raquel. She's doing okay. It's been a rough week or two for her but she's still reading and praying. Then we went to a Lady named Esperanza's house. She's less active and a returned missionary. The lesson was good and she was a really nice lady.

MTC MILKSHAKE
Friday - So this morning we switched back to our normal
companions. Elder Schwanke and I got back to our area at like 2:30 so we went
and got lunch at a place called Tommy Mel's. It's like a 50's American restaurant.
It was pretty delicious. We also saw one of our MTC teachers there and he
bought as both a milkshake. What a small world. He happened to be here for work
and eating there at the same time we passed by. Haha!
Then we did our studies.
Then we were out trying to find some people and we passed by a bunch of guys
playing some basketball. So we asked if we could join. And so we spent about a
hour getting to know these guys and playing some ball with them in our church
clothes. It was pretty fun! Needless to say, our team won. Spanish people are
still working on the whole basketball thing. Haha!
Saturday - So this morning we had English class. Then we
played fútbol. Then we ate lunch with Ingrid. She's from Peru. She made us
Ceviche. It was pretty great. Then we went and did studies. Then we had a
lesson with Juan José, who is still awesome and progressing towards his baptism
on the 15th. He actually invited the members in the Gospel Principles class to
come. He's so awesome. After that we made invitations for the upcoming branch
activity. We are gonna have a talent show on the 21st. It's gonna be dope.
Sunday - So today church was good. Raquel and Juan José
came. They both stayed all three hours. Then we ate lunch with Sonia. She made
some amazing Brazilian food. Then we did studies. My companion was kinda sick
today so he took a little nap as well. Then we went to our pancakes activity.
Then we met with the leaders of the JAS. We are gonna have an activity on my
birthday to celebrate. So, I'm excited for that.
Monday - Today we are gonna go out to eat with some members
and my companion wants to go suit shopping because rebajas (sales) just started. So
that will probably be our day today.
Love you all,
Elder Harris
