So we've been working on getting some investigators because we only have 2 solid ones and they're both just working on word of wisdom issues.
So, we have a mission couple on this island in charge of teaching seminary, they also keep a blog that has stuff about all us missionaries as well. this is the link if you want to check it out:

So cool miracle of the week, we went to go teach our investigator R, who is 26 but when we got there (with a member for numbers) he wasn't there... but his 18 year old sister X was! So, we taught her the first lesson ad she ate it all up, we're meeting with her again tonight! I just love how we're blessed with someone new to share the gospel with.
We're teaching a man from Ghana, he's so amazing! He just asked us questions and we answered them and he just said "I really like your answers (the lesson was in English so I was able to contribute a bit more than usual)
We are at the Larsens' house right now, it is in more of the outlying area and in the mountains, the view is breath taking!
We had dinner at a member's house that kinda lives far away last night, it was also a breath taking view. Honestly it's unreal the things I see every day.
I'm still getting along with my AMAZING trainer... She's honestly great, she's teaching me how to work hard and plan effectively! It's great.
One thing that really surprised me was how SIMILAR church is here! Honestly, other than it being in Spanish it is the same meetings and same spirit. Shouldn't have been so surprised but it was great.
I love this work and I am so excited to be here in Las Palmas. Which is we directly translate is is "The hands" Cool parallel because missionaries are God's hands! Haha not really a lot of sense but it's cool. It's also cool to see the scriptures in Spanish because it doesn't translate directly which can sometimes give scriptures a slightly different meaning.
Love,
