Moses 5:6

Hola Familia,

I just hiked 10 km through a desert mountain 🌵 for pday. When the elders invite you to go hiking for pday, say no. Jk it was fun, and it's fun to see more of the island but I'm literally gonna be dead the rest of the week.
This week was good, pretty tranquilo. We just did a lot of preparation for the talent show. It ended up to be super good, it was kinda frustrating because we didn't have a lot of ward support, like 3 weeks ago a member from the bishopric kinda chewed us out because their goal is 20 baptisms a year and we've only had two and he told us it's our fault because we aren't having enough activities to bring their friends and he didn't even show up to the talent show? Also the bishop and relief society president didn't come, so I'm kinda frustrated about that, but the people that ended up coming loved it. Anyway, rant over. Our skit was we did a loro park show, so one elder was a sea lion the other was a bird hj was a dolphin and I was an orca it was really funny, we basically just made fool out of  ourselves but the people laughed.
Another highlight of the week, Erika told us she has been reading the Book of Mormon! She read it and had a lot of questions but poco a poco she has been progressing. She told us that before with the missionaries she wasn't really interested but after everything with her dad she is interested and really like the way she feels when she's at church, or with us, or praying or reading the Book of Mormon. Hopefully we will continue to see progress in her!
That's about our week, sounds like everybody at home is staying busy and enjoying summer! It's gotten really hot here in Santa Cruz, prepare yourselves...

Ok, love you all!!!!

👆🏽I think it's funny, do you get it??

Hola Familia!

Para empezar, tengo buenas noticas y malas... GOOD NEWS: I will finish my mission here in Santa Cruz!!!🌴☀️BAD NEWS: this is my last transfer😭😭😭😭

Second off, I'm literally crying because I literally feel like it's 100 degrees only to find out that it's only 68, hahahaha I don't get it, it literally feels sooo hot yet it's not...

Third off, my week was good, i don't remember what happened. Went to Gran Canaria for intercambio, did some fun service there((we waited outside a grocery store and begged people for food for the local food bank, hahaha, I was surprised at how generous everybody was!!!)) we met with one of Evelyn's friends named Sergio this week, he came to her baptism and told us he was looking for the truth and we were like hey, we can help. Evelyn has been sharing her experiences a lot with him, and he has some potential. We visited a menos activo this week and she made us arepas, yum, and she put papaya and milk in a blender and called it a smoothie and it was disgusting, aka life is pretty great but not perfect here on the islands. Also, got a new comp, ANOTHER BLONDE, sos send help, jk I'll be fine, hermana jorgenson from California, she's cool 😎 we will be homies. Life is good here in Tenerife. Sounds like the craziness of summer has already began...

well, see you all soon. Have a good week!!!!!!! Love you all!!!

Mosiah 27: 10

Holaaaa Familiaaaa,
It has been quite the week! First hermana j is the bomb!! We literally have sooo much fun together, we are ALWAYS laughing, it's the best. The only problem is we stay up way later than we should just messin around and so we are always exhausted, haha, I guess it's a good problem to have, also very fixable, we'll see, haha.
Second thing about this week, WE FINALLY MET WITH EVELYNS FAMILY. it was quite a miracle, ok ok I'll tell the whole story. Sooo, Tuesday we had a lesson planned with a single man, and we were going to meet in his house, aka we needed another women, Monday night i literally called everybody and nobody seemed to be able to help. Usually Evelyn can't help during the week but I thought I would give it try, I called she said ok. So we are waiting for her at 8 at the church like we had planned when she calls and tells us that she had just gotten home with her mom and was going to be late, like an hour late. Well great, I thought to myself but then I realized she said she was at home, with her mom and I was like well maybe instead we could come visit you and your mom? And she was like ok!!! And so we went and met with evelyn, her mom and dad and sister! And it was AMAZINGGGG. her mom is literally sooo spiritual. She did have a hard time accepting the Book of Mormon, she explained that she had found God and has a lot of spiritual experiences with the Bible. We explained to her that the Bible is very important and so are these experiences and how she can have even more reading the Book of Mormon, she accepted. We will see what happens when we follow up!!

Third, Erika and Orianna are not doing as well as we thought((the ones whose dad killed himself about a month ago)) sat orianna went to a jóvenes actividad and LOVED IT. her and her mom came to church the next day, Orianna is concerned for her grandpa and Adrianna((the young women's president) invited her to go to the temple with the ward at the end of July, but to enter the temple, she has to be baptized. Adriana came up to us after church explaining this to us, and then she was like I did something I don't know if it's bad or good, I invited her to baptism! She's like she didn't say no but she didn't say yes, so hopefully we can help Orianna progress towards baptism so she go to the temple!! The ward is very supportive of them so we will see what happens!!

We have a noche de talentos planned for this week and so stressed, we have so much to do this week, I hope it turns out ok! We have a really cool thing planned so hopefully things go as planned.

Ok, I'm sad because time is running out but feeling extremely blessed for the people we have to teach, serving in the beautiful island of Tenerife and most importantly for the opportunity to testify of my Savior every moment of everyday. Love you all, hope you are enjoying (the craziness of) summer!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

One last thing, the marriage jokes have already started LITERALLY FROM EVERYBODY and I'm already tired of it so if anybody makes any marriage jokes I'll freak out on you, you've been warned.

Ok, LOVE YOU ALL🖤🖤🖤🖤

From Santa Cruz,

Mosiah 2:20

Hola FamilaaaaaComo están todos??? Pues este semana fue genial, de verdad. This week was very good.

Monday night, we passed by an investigator that we had kinda stopped visiting because it was too hard to find a women to come with us, but Monday we felt like we should visit him so we did, and his niece was there so we were able to visit him, he told us that the day before he wondered what had happened to us, and then he invited us over Thursday to make arepas, we found a member to come with us and had some good arepa and a great lesson, and Sunday he came to church!!! Sadly, he is moving in a short two weeks 😔 Tuesday was a little bit slow because it was festivo here in the islands, but Erika and Orianna invited us over for arepas, they were sooooo good. And then we read mosiah 24 and it was a really good lesson. Wednesday, nothing excited happened. Thursday, we ate with paella man, he made us some ribs, they were good. They also went and visited another island the weekend before and they brought us all keychains! So nice of them, we talked about the family and they ended up coming to church yesterday! Friday, there is this nice man that comes to English class, he's basically fluent in English and he invited us over to meet and eat with his man. Anddd we ate more arepas. After, we had a little party for one of the jas and he brought a friend and said we could start teaching him once summer started. Saturday, we played futbol and I scored a goal😏 and then we had a lesson with a less active and we talked about the sacrament, it went really welll she told us she was going to come to church but ended up not coming 😭 but yesterday at church was amazing. The spirit was soooo strong holy cow. And the there was like 10 non members at church in total between the members bringing friends and our investigators and like a ton of less active people decided to come and we filled the sacrament room and ah it was just perfect and I was so happy. And today for pday, elder Campbell took us to teide((the volcano))!!! It was sooo cool. You have to have a special permission to go to the top top, but you can take a thingy, como se llama, like a ski lift thing to almost the top and there are two little hikes you can do there and you can see like all of the islands and it's the highest point in all of spain 🇪🇸 see the 600000 fotos attached.

 

All in all it was a pretty good week. Well love you all!!!!!! Have a good week!
