When she smiles

Today is not Wednesday. Today is Thursday the 25th of October.  I have a long lost friend whose birthday is today.  I haven't forgotten. Happy birthday! 

Well, I don't even know where to go with these things these days.  It's been a pretty slow week this past week.  Argenis went to Fuerteventura with work, another investigator went to Madrid because I guess that's what people do to get away from paradise.  But it's going well other than that.  Would I ever say differently though? This is missionary work.  If you're doing your job then it's always going well.  The Lord makes it go well. He gives us what we need.

Edid is doing really well.  She is set to have her interview this weekend and get baptised the coming week.  She's doing really well.  She wants to start paying tithing and is all taught and committed and excited to get baptised.  The cool thing as well is seeing how much it is helping her daughter in her tough situation.  I think she will eventually be open to missionary visits as well and get baptised.  It's just the way it should happen.  Entering with support set up and éxito more asegurado.  

On Sunday we did an MTC for members activity.  They're all not really used to having missionaries it seems so we did an activity to train them on how to help with investigators and how to teach their friends and help them enter the church without it being a weird experience.  All that good stuff.  It went quite well.  About 1/3 the branch showed up.  Not too shabby!

Yesterday we caught another boat to make it over here to Gran Canaria.  Cool, eh? We have zone conference tomorrow.  It's our last one.  Me and Elder Woodbury's.  We're doing it on "Crap we wish we had freaking known in the mission."  It'll translate a little more appropriate than that. But that's the point we're gonna try and get across.  Old wisdom from such oldies in the mission.  I'll let you know.  The cool thing is we made shirts for the whole zone.  They're pretty legit, not gonna lie.  Except the yellow ended up looking a bit green.  Oh well. P-day was fun today.  We did a hike and saw some old abandoned spas and even went through this tiny little tunnel that burrows into a mountain side.  Good stuff!

I'm gonna leave. Hope you all have a great week.  This church is true.  If you already know it, share it. If you don't, I invite you to look into it.  It'll be worth it.  Yup. Love you all!
