Holaaaaa Familaaaaaa
First things first, Davis is salvaje hahahahahahaah I'm dying. Second off, this was a great week untilllllll my companion sprained her ankle
playing soccer, we'll see how this week goes. However, I still managedto get to Loro Parque today. Loro parque is like a zoo but withdolphin and sea lion and killer whale shows like sea world. It wasreally cool. More about this week.Let's see. We had a lesson Friday with Evelyn and we watched that oneconference talk called to my friends and investigators to the churchor something, how he talked about his conversion story. And then therewas a member and she explained her conversion story and I feltprompted to ask her to baptism and I did and she said that she feltscared and so the member explained that there's no reason to be scaredand that she needs to pray. Evelyn then explains that she has beenpraying but not with real intent, so we invite her to pray with realintent. That was Friday. Sunday she was a little late to church so shejust came in and sat next to me and when sacrament meeting ended shelooked and me and was like hermana and I was just like hey how are youand she was like " voy a bautizarme!" I literally couldn't containmyself, I was literally speechless. And after our lesson with Evelynwe met with Cristina(the Colombian girl from last week? Did I tell youabout her). So we met with her and and we got there and she had readthe chapter we left her and when we asked who she would like to saythe opening prayer she said she would!!!!!((last time she wouldn'tpray for nada)) we also had a lesson with another Cristina and her sonBrian and they are just sooo Canarian. And we talked about prayer andso the son was like why don't we pray to the Virgin Mary and weexplained that the first commandment is to love God with all thy heartwe also explained no other God's before me and the mom was like Briannooooo where in the Bible does it say we pray to Mary but then the momwas like why don't you do the padre nuestro ((the catholic prayer))but Cristina came to church so that's good! ((We only had 2 people atchurch yesterday)) there was definitely lots of highs to this week.Hopefully we can get some stuff done this week!!  Love you all!!!!

Holaaaaaa Familaaaaaa
It was an amazing week, yet again. We had 4 investigators at church AGAIN!! The work is really moving along here in Santa Cruz. As a district we had 9 total at church the elders had 2 and the other elders had 3 so that's really cool the islands are hard but not impossible! This week we also did intercambios, we had to go over to Gran Canaria(a different island) and we got to go by boat! It was super cool, super beautiful! Intercambios were super fun too. I learned a lot and it was cool to be on a different island. This week we met with a new investigator named Luis. He is from Bolivia and he is super cool, he told us he is just looking for the right church. He has a lot of potential and excited to see him again this week! Also, the elders called us the other day because this lady had called them to send the Hermanas over. We passed by her Saturday night and she was home! She is this nice little lady from Colombia, she's 28 and sooo prepared! We have a lesson this Friday with her!! Idk what else happened this week, they just go by sooo fast and I can't remember what happened. But just know it was a good week!!!
ok lots of love!!!!!

Holaaaaa Familaaaa
 
This week was a really great week! We stayed super busy and saw lots
of miracles! We met with some members this week and when we got there
they had invited friends over to listen to us! And we met with
Cristina, another investigator we have. She is super awesome the only
problem is her husband is a Catholic deep in the heart so he doesn't
really like the church but her daughter is in Utah and about to get
married to a boy there. We met with Evelyn this week, she's doing
great, she has really felt answers to her prayers and she is still
waiting to here about baptism, hopefully she gets her answer soon! The
other day we were a little bit early to a good appointment so we
decided to see if there was anybody around in the park near by and so
we went and we sat down on a bench with this man and we ended up
showing him the new Easter video and he gave us his number so
hopefully we can meet with him this week! The biggest miracle all week
though? WE HAD 4 INVESTIGATORS AT CHURCH YESTERDAY, that might not
sound like a big deal when serving in South America but when usually
we have 0-2 every Sunday we couldn't believe it. Hermana Larson and I
couldn't stay in our seats we were so excited. Basically hermana
Larson and I are working great together and we are giving it our all
and miracles are coming. I'm excited to see what this week has in
 store for us! Today for pday we went to a little pueblo(a village) and
did a hike and it was beautiful. I still can't believe I'm a
missionary in the Canary Islands! #Blessed
 
Lots of love,
