~ We had a good week. We went to the other island of Lanzarote on Saturday for p-day with a german member who served his mission in Wisconsin, and who is here on an internship. We rented a car and went over in a ferry. We saw just about the whole island in one day, it was really cool. It´s an active volcanic island with tons of volcanic rock, and it was awesome. The best part about the trip though was the ferry ride there and the ferry ride back, because in between the island there are FLYING FISH and they were so cool. On the ride over there we were sitting there and then I saw one jump out and fly so far, I was freaking out and no one believed me and then more came out. Then on the way back we went to the front to watch for them and we saw a bunch, they jump out of the water and glide so far, it´s seriously crazy. I remember as a kid seeing a drawing of them in a book, and they looked so cool, but then later I heard that they just jump far, but these fish were flying! It was awesome, I tried to take a video of it but it didn´t work too well.
Yesterday was crazy, everyone just waiting and waiting for the game, we were in the street for most of the time, and we saw one guy running as fast as he could to get somewhere to watch it. At the end, we stopped buy a members house cause we thought it was over, and they were in the overtime, and we came in and saw Iniesta score, he seems like a humble player. Ramos Villa and Pedro are awesome, I think Ramos is from Jerez where I first served. Then when they scored the place exploded and the madness didn´t stop until morning. That goalie Casillas is awesome too. I´m not sure if this will make the people more friendly or just pridefull. I think some will be nicer and some will be more pridefull. In short it was AWESOME!!!
Everything is good over here, everything is good, Elder Slack is a great kid. Tell everyone I say hi, and tell the Distinctive guys they better be practicing their ping pong cause we have a table here, and my skills are better than ever haha. Thanks for everything, I love you all, keep cool, and stay happy!
