Another fantastic week has passed. You have several artichokes growing in the garden. I harvested the last giant bowl of cherries this morning. The kids have just about eaten all of them; they are worse than the birds! I got the garden in this week, some fun tomatoes like green zebra striped and a Cherokee purple. I can't wait to see what they look like and taste them. The girls helped me make tamales tonight from scratch they turned out fantastic! Hopefully you got the video. They also made homemade taquitos and deep-fried them they're super delicious as well.
Jeff, Eric, and your dad are on a four-day motorcycle ride in Northern California and Southern Oregon. They don't have a whole lot of phone service but I did receive this beautiful picture from your dad today.
Today is the fifth Sunday, when the bishopric teaches during third hour. I thought they taught both hours. I did not prepare a lesson today for gospel doctrine. I was sitting in the third row of gospel doctrine waiting for the bishopric to come in and teach for about five minutes, before it dawned on me that perhaps I'm supposed to teach! I walked out into the hallway and asked Bishop, and sure enough I am supposed to teach. I felt pretty foolish that I didn't realize Sunday school would be the same. I bravely and humbly walked back into class, and announced that I would be the teacher. The class is so wonderful and receptive to my being unprepared. They participated when prompted by the Spirit and it was wonderful! I'm so grateful for the Book of Mormon, and especially grateful for the spirit. You see, I had not prepared particularly for this lesson nor read it. However, I have studied the Book of Mormon many times and the spirit was able to bring to remembrance the doctrine of Christ from the teachings of the Book Mormon. Each week I feel like I am I'm bumbling through most of the lesson with occasionally a fantastic spiritual teaching moment. Thankfully, the brothers and sisters who come prepared to learn by the Spirit will be taught by the Spirit. Then no matter how bad I bumble in my perspective, from their perspective because they are worthy of the Spirit they can be taught. Certainly, you have times that you will be able to relate to this. The spirit is the best and only true teacher. Be worthy of his companionship, strive to heed his counsel and you will be utilized as a tool in the Masters hand. You are a full-time representative of Jesus Christ. You have the authority to act in his power and his name. You know and his love for you and you must share that love with all those whom you come in contact with. I love you and I'm super proud of you!
Love, Mom

crazy hair day
crazy Nauvoo day! It was left out in the parking lot near where she parked and I asked her to bring it into the store and plug it in. Instead she drove it all over Walmart I was so embarrassed. Funny girl!
Hey Momma,
It's been a long week this last week, today there was a baptism in our branch and we're the ones that fill up the tank. So we studied in the church this morning. The baptism was really spiritual. It was the son of the president of the branch. Saturday was loco because it was a holiday and the championship soccer game in Spain. By the way Real Madrid won, it was cool. The holiday is called El Día de Canaria. Some of the artists here made some portraits out of sand on the street of things and people. That same day we showed around some Americans some of the beautiful places here in Puerto and it was alright. Also,
last week we did Exchanges with Lanzarote and it was fun but their Piso was Nasty. We got to take a boat there and back and it's really pretty. And we ate Salchi Papas which is cut up hot dogs and French fries with a ton of toppings, it's South American. We also met this guy from a member and taught him like 4 times, he's really awesome and is so hungry for the gospel. He has a baptism date for the 18 of June, and I think he's going to do it. I'm exited because this is my third transfer here in Fuerteventura and there's a lot of good things going on here. I hope that the Family and the ward is all ok send the ward my love. Thank you for everything Mom y'all are the Best. Moroni.
