Gran Canaria 🇮🇨

Hey,

Time is going way too fast here. This week flew by and we just realized we're already halfway through the transfer. We were super busy this week. We had 4 or 5 appointments scheduled every day. Only about half of them actually happened, but that's normal. Tuesday and Wednesday I was super sick from my sunburn. That was a bad one. Our investigator with a baptismal date is progressing really well, and I can totally see him being ready soon. We changed his date to April 7. It turns out we havestake conference and general conference so we couldn't do it over the top of those. I'm excited for him though. We also found an investigator from Leeds, England. He is awesome. We are going to eat with him on Wednesday. He thinks my american accent is super funny. There was one sad thing this week, we had to drop 9 investigators. 9.... So we are back down to a smaller group and ready to find a TON of people to teach. 

So I think almost all of your questions were about zone conference and the general authority, so I'll answer that first. Zone conference is this Thursday in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. I just got my tickets, we're going to fly over thereWednesday night and then fly back Thursday night after conference. It should be an adventure. We came up with a pretty tricky plan to get the packages back here. The general authority that is coming is Elder Sabin. He spoke in general conference recently. They are doing conference with him and all of the missionaries in the peninsula on Wednesday, and then he will come down and talk to us on Thursday. I should also get to meet the Bakers at conference. They're serving in gran canaria. 

Cool experience of the week: I have been messaging Cari's old investigators this week. They are super cool and knew exactly who I was when I sent the friend request. I would love to teach them, and it's possible with the mission changes I could end up in Burgos anyway. How crazy would that be?

So we had Chinese twice this week.  There is a delivery place with legit American Chinese. I got sesame chicken, orange chicken, fried rice, chow mein, and spring rolls. I want to get Bahn mi next week. 

We are hiking Teide next week with a member. Love you guys. Thank you for sending the package this week and helping me with everything. Keep me updated on the busy week. 😀👍
