The stakes are high, the water's rough...I'M ON A BOAT

Elder Woodbury & Elder Jeppson

Well hello family. 

Well, it's been quite a week.  I got out of Madrid on Thursday.  My companion was not able to come with me because he had not got his residency card yet and we did not want to have to send him back again.  So he waited until able to get his card. I just worked with Elder Woodbury in Santa Cruz de Tenerife for a couple of days.  Our comps weren't supposed to be able to get their cards until Monday.  Buah!  But, they got them on Friday! That's like a miracle on it's own.  So that was cool.  Saturday I got Elder Merriman down here by my side.  We got everything set up in the piso and that was about all we had time for that day.  Sunday we went to church and it was really cool to see how excited the members all are to have missionaries again.  I basically just have a mind full of members names and faces and buah.  Craziness.  But other than that, it's been a pretty slow week.  There are a couple of people that could end up being investigators.  It's a long story.

Elder Jeppson and Elder Merriman

The cool thing from this past week is that we just barely got back from Gran Canaria!  We had a zone leader council on Monday and then had what is now called basically a zone meeting instead of district meeting. Long story short, we went to Gran Canaria to have a 2 hour meeting about the things President Jackson wanted the mission to know.  Since travelling is such a big deal here we decided to do it the night before P-day and stay over for P-day as well.  So we had P-day there today! That's why this email is so late. Sorry! But that's pretty much all I really have time for.  So just know that we went to the Sand Dunes, went go-karting, and played some wicked volleyball.  Not bad for a day's work, eh?  But now we're back. More stories to come next week.

Love you all!
