Chicharreros verdaderos y chicharreras verdaderas...
This
week, I ate chicharro!! The people here are called Chicharreros because
back in the day the majority of the people here were fishermen who
fished for a certain type of fish called chicharro. So I ate some
chicharro heads and my companion didn't feel super good after. I was
okay though and it actually tasted pretty good! Let's just say that that
was definitely not the weirdest thing I've eaten in the mission.
All
is well out here in Tenerife. Sometimes I think that I'm just stuck out
on a rock in the middle of the Atlantic ocean and then I realize that I
am and that makes me smile. The work here is going good! This week we
walked a lot in the street which is always fun but we also had some bomb
lessons! Let's take a look and see...
(I'm gunna do this investigator by investigator)
Norma
y Marco - Cubans. Mother and son. Bossesssss. They've come to church
twice and we had a great lesson with them this last week. After they
came to church yesterday, a Cuban family invited them over to their
house to eat and the Cuban members (Gabriela and Nanda) told us that
they were talking to them about the Church and about baptism and Norma
said that she wanted to get baptized with Elder Koeven and I because we
were the first ones to teach them. Máquinas.
Karla
- Guatemalteco. 17 years old. She is doing good. Her mom is not letting
her get baptized though but she loves the Church and feels the Spirit
really strongly with us. She doesn't turn 18 until January so hopefully
she can stay strong until then! Oh she also said that she wanted to go
out contacting in the street with us.
Sula
- This is a weird story. I'm not going to go into all the details here.
She is a friend of a member and she's really nice but we aren't sure
about how much true intent she has. In our second lesson she said that
she wanted to meet with the sisters instead of us because she "can't
understand anything that we say." Talk about pride check to the spanish
skills. We passed her to the sisters to say the least.
Daniel
Cabrera - Boss. Semi less active. He is doing really good. He didn't
come to church this week but he has been reading in the Book of Mormon
everyday since we made a contract with him that he signed haha. He is
awesome though and we feel that he is progressing alot.
Well
we have a lot of work ahead of us and I am excited to keep working here
in Santa Cruz. Elder Koeven is down for the count after eating some
Chinese food and fish heads but hopefully he will be recouperating
quickly. I love this work and I know that this is Jesus Christ's Church
on the earth. I love being a missionary and I will miss the good times
and the bad times out here. I love the mission.
