Hope you have had a fantastic week!! Things are going fairly well here in Telde!! Do you not work on Mondays or something, that's cool me neither!!! Well for a couple hours then I work the rest of the night haha Soooo let me think what has happened this week.
On Tuesday another missionary came here to work with me. Elder Gentry, he´s a good bud from Orange County!! So that was fun being able to speak a little english, talk about California stuff and just have a good day. We then switched back and after district meeting all went and stuffed ourselves with a chinese buffet... YUMMMM!!!
Lot´s of people failing us to watch soccer this week haha, and I´m super scared for how things are going to go this week because I think this Wednesday the FIFA World Cup starts... You know what that is right??? When all the counries in the world have the huge soccer tournament... Blahhh It´s kind of a bummer that now that I like soccer and stuff I won't get to see the US or Spain or anybody play haha Oh well we´ll see how it all goes!
We had an awesome activity this past weekend. All the members came at two different times, and we set them up in different rooms and investigators and less actives passed through and were taught about the basics of the plan of salvation! It turned out really well!! This month is the invitation month here in our stake, so we have activities every single weekend, I'm excited!! Next weekend is a Relief society thing, but we also just set up like an impromtu basketball game Saturday morning and we have investiogators and members coming and it should be a ton of fun!!!
Oh among other big news, though I suppose it doesn't sound all that interesing to you, they changed up all the leadership in the branch, which is kind of sad. Our branch pres or I guess old branch pres lives in Las Palmas, so they no longer need him here in Telde with his family, but Presidente Denis is being nice and letting them stay until the end of the year. All the kids who are all friends were crying and like trying to convince the family to move down here to Telde before the end of the year haha we´ll see how it all goes. Antonio Gonzalez was called as the new pres, which is nice cuz he lives in our area, and he actually has a son who isn't a member!! We are hoping to work with the son a bit more now and see how it all goes!! His name is Aaron and he is my age pretty much. He played semi pro bball and we aren't sure why he isn't a member, but we´ll keep working on it and see what happens!!
That´s cool that you saw Nick Verde!! Bummer he can't play more rugby, he was really good!! And hmmm ok a kebab... Basically its some sort of unknown meat(I think beef and lamb) but like a hugeee cylinder of it on a rotating skewer that they slice off with a shaver and put into delicious sandwiches and burritos :) Look up "Doner Kebab Meat" or something like that and you´ll see!! Looks gross, tastes AMAZING!!! So ya haha What a weird coincidence that Aunt Kimber knows Elder Giforos... I just met him last week but he's a cool guy!! If I ever see him again I´ll have to ask him about if he remembers them! haha
How exciting that Kara graduates this week!!! I´m bummed I can't be there!!! It was sad in Karas email she said she wishes I could be there too!! Oh well be sure to send me pictures and stuff!! It´s an exciting and stressful time, just be patient and give her a hug when she cries I guess??? I don´t remember much about pre college, but I was pretty stressed and nervous too!! She´ll love it once she gets there and gets used to everything!! Oh and I just wrote to Fielding as well!! How crazy he leaves super soon!! Tell him hi again for me!!
Oh hey here the cool quote of the week that I liked from President Denis when he gave a talk this past week! "Nuestro Padre Celestial nos ama, nos ama no solo por lo que somos, pero por lo que podemos llegar a ser." Translates to Our Heavenly Father loves us. He loves us not just for who and what we are, but for who he knows we can become. I like that!! Only God knows how much we try and be our best, and he knows that as we keep struggling and moving on we will become the sons and daughters he wants us to be!! Sorry I don't have any other cool stories for the week! I´ll try and be more interesting so I have something fun to report next week! Miss you!! And I love you!!!
