July 5th

~ We went to Gran Canaria Friday morning and played futbol for p-day, and it was super fun, then we had interviews with the president, and it was good. President Watkins is different but he seems really efficient. He was like the chief financial advisor for Bank of America for a long time, and he´s really business like. He only speaks spanish with the missionaries which is a good thing. Elder Slack is understanding more and more each day. We had zone conference on Saturday and it was good, we talked a lot about the new changes and the things that are different, but it was good. Like always it got me motivated to work. I´m really trying to talk to everyone, and I´m learning how to leave every person on good terms whether they give us a reference or not. It´s easy to make people mad, so I try to avoid that. I want to learn to get them thinking, it´s hard to take their thoughts out of the world on the street but I think I´m getting better at it. We got back to Fuerteventura Saturday night in the middle of the soccer game, and right when we got to our apartment we heard everyone in their houses freaking out before the goal because they were close to scoring, and then they scored and the whole neighborhood exploded, it was hilarious, and then a little bit later the game ended and the antics began, and didn´t end until like 6 in the morning, we kept waking up to people honking and yelling and lighting off fire works, so by coincidence we were able to enjoy a few fireworks the morning of the Fourth of July. Thanks for everything! I miss you all a mountain, I´m going to send home some seeds of these white melons they have here that are AMAZING and also I´m going to send you prickly pear cactus pieces to plant that give these fruits that are also AMAZING, and I know those would grow in vegas,
Ráchel, tú tienes que practicar el Golf un monton o no vas a tener la capacidad de ganar padre nunca, y ya es cierto que nunca tendrás la capacidad de ganarme a mi, pero bueno, esta bien como un sueno supongo.
