[October 17-26]
Well, this week has been pretty crazy. So i got here last Monday
and we spent the day going around with the old AP and they were teaching me
about what my responsibilities were gonna be. Then that night we had to help
drive some people around to their new areas and such so we spent most of the
night doing that.
ENJOYING AP DUTIES
Then on Tuesday we had the meeting with all of the new
missionaries that had just come into the field. There were 29 of them. That´s a
pretty huge group! So we spent all day with them and then we had the trainers
meeting with them.
REAL MADRID SOCCER
I don´t know if i told you guys Mom and Dad that i had
bought tickets with Elder Perez to go to the Real Madrid game that was tonight.
Well, they played against Tottenham a team
from England and the game ended 1-1. I got to see Ronaldo score though so it was worth it
for me. (Photos coming soon)
Then on Wednesday we had our first day in our proselyting
area. It was really good. We started with district meeting this morning and
then we had some lessons this afternoon. As well, we had a noche de hogar
tonight with most of the members. It was really great.
On Thursday we had weekly planning which was pretty much
planning for the entire transfer, we really don´t have very much time to plan
sometimes so we just took advantage of the time we had today to get as much
planning for the transfer knocked out as we could. Then we had some lessons in the afternoon. It was
a really good day.
So this morning, Friday, we had a meeting with the Packs to
discuss all the plans we have for this
upcoming transfer. We ate some really good eggs and biscuits and stuff i really
felt like i was at home for a little bit. Then after the meeting with the Packs
we had a lunch appointment in a pueblo called Arganda. We ate some really delicious
Peruvian food.
ONE OF THE BEST AFTERNOONS OF MY MISSION
Then we had one of the best afternoons of my mission! We had
some pass-bys set up and we were gonna do
them but we both really needed to poop :). (The Lord really does work in mysterious ways.) So, we decided to change our
plans a little bit. We ended up doing some different pass-bys instead and we found three solid new investigators
because of it. It was a great day, just full of a lot of miracles.
Saturday - Well, this morning we played futbol with a bunch of
investigators and members. It was really fun.
Then we ate lunch and got ready for the day. Following that we did
studies and then we did some pass-bys. We had quite a few lessons today.

BEARING TESTIMONY
Sunday - Today was a great day! Church was awesome! B8 is the biggest
ward in Madrid with about 200 as the average attendance. I got to share my
testimony and tell everybody I´m only going to be here for the next 5 weeks.
So, that was fun. Then we ate lunch at the piso. Then we had to do some
planning for the upcoming week. So, we actually planned what we were going to
be doing for all of the MLC and the zone conferences we are going to have this
transfer. This transfer we are going to make a big push on member work and how
we have some amazing resources we haven´t really been using yet. Then after
that we had two different Noches de hogar that we went to. They were both
really great.
Then on Monday which is not normally my P-day anymore, we
had an intercambio with the Zone leaders from the Canary islands. We had a
really good day working with them and learning from them. I went with Elder
Knapp, who was actually in my district in Vigo,
so we knew each other pretty well already.
Tuesday - Well today we had MLC and like i said on
Sunday me and my companion planned for.
It went really well and i think our mission is about to take a big step forward
working with members and seeing more visual success on a regular basis. Then
following the MLC we started intercambios with the Elders that had come down
from A Coruña in the north of Spain. I actually got to go with my old
companion, Elder Lopez, from Alcorcon. It was really fun working with him
again.
Wednesday - So for
the whole day i was with Elder Lopez and we actually had a really awesome day.
We taught 5 lessons and a few of them
were to new people. We had a great day!
Thursday - Well today I´m getting a P-day somewhat. We went to Sol and i got some
souvenirs for the kiddos. But yea, that´s about all for this week. I´ll hopefully
have some pictures soon.
Love,
Elder Harris
