Hello my fellow inhabitants of tierra,
It has been a good week here on the island of Tenerife. So
first things first. I just want to say that it is a very important day today,
because it is the birthday of one W. Mark Bassett. Yeah, Happy Birthday
Dad!
Ok, onto the week. The week starts off with Elder Johnson
deciding to make some peanut butter bars for district meeting. At the end of
the day, we get back to the piso, and he starts making them. Then he asks me to
make the chocolate frosting. So I start making it and right off the bat big
problem. The recipe calls for powdered sugar, but we don’t have it. So, being
the desperate man I am, I start using white sugar. But, we only have half a
cup. Already committed now, I used brown sugar instead. So I make the frosting,
and it turns out tasting quite strangely. I kept messing with it trying to make
it taste better, but eventually had to give up. In the end, I threw in some
eggs, a little flour, and about an hour later we had a bundt cake. No joke,
frosting became a bundt cake. And it was actually very delicious. Ha, so we had
that for district meeting.
Onto the rest of the week. We have been focusing a lot this
week on talking in the street to try and build up our teaching pool. Thankfully,
we got a bunch of citas lined up for this week, so we´ll see how those go. We
spent a couple days in Puerto this week and a couple in La Laguna. Our plans at
this point are to be in Puerto Thursday and Friday and La Laguna every other
day. We also spend every other Saturday in Puerto. Both places have a lot of
potential, and we are already starting to see a lot of miracles, which is
awesome!
