πŸ‘†πŸ½I 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!!!

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 jΓ³venes 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 ALLπŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€
