Hey everyone!
The base of Mt. Teide


It's been a pretty good week, had some fun. As always, I'll start where I left off. So last p-day, we played futbol. That was fun for the first 30 minutes, then I messed my ankle or something and could barely walk. So after that, it was just kinda irritating. I was limping for a couple days, but it's good now, just a small bruise. 

The next big thing was that we did intercambios with the zone leaders. That was good. We went to their island for that. Due to the timing for our flights it ended up being a super short intercambio, but it was fun, and I learned a bunch.

BIG Changes!

Hey everyone!

Our view Mt. Teide from our apartment in Puerto-no clouds! It's the highest point on the island.
So transfers came in this weekend....and nothing changed, the subject of the email is a lie. Ha! So Elder Johnson is still over here in La Laguna with me and the hermanas. Our district is staying the same. So yea, that was transfers. 

Our week was pretty good. As always, we spent 5 days in La Laguna and 2 days in Puerto. We had a lot of time to talk in the street this week, and we were able to get a couple references, so that was great. We are going to be trying to meet with them this week so that we can start getting some new investigators. What's hard is that for some reason it seems like the people in Puerto are just more willing to talk. Because of that, most of our references are from Puerto. It's hard, because it means we only have a 2-day window to try and meet with people. We think though that we might start staying in Puerto Saturdays to fit in more people. 

Oh man, I just remembered we got some big news! So this last week, President sent out a message to the whole mission to tell us all that he had been working with the missionary department and that our mission has just been officially approved to begin online proselyting. So this means that we can start using sites like Facebook, Instagram, and google hangouts to help further the work. On top of that we will soon be getting new phones that will allow us to use whatsapp. These are both huge steps for our mission. The online proselyting opens so many new windows for finding new investigators, and it is so exciting. On top of that, having whatsapp will help us to stay in touch with our investigators so much more. I can't even begin to describe how many investigators we can't get into contact with, because we don't have whatsapp. This is super big!
