So, last Wednesday they assigned us all and they
sent me out to the Canary Islands!! I still can´t believe it. It is soo
cool. I love it here so much. I also just love being an actually missionary in the field. It did feel a bit like a prison in the MTC
haha.
We walk a TON because we don't have many members in our area yet--yet. we´re working on it haha. I love walking though, just talking to
everybody and seeing what it's all like here. So pretty. It´s kinda dry
but as you go up it gets more and more green. I´m so happy to be here.
The Lord has definitely blessed me and I am so happy.
So, just a little about this place first. There are bars all over,
almost everybody smokes it seems like which is sad. Hopefully I don´t
die from secondhand smoke. They have cigarette vending machines here
that anyone could buy from, a little kid even! There's just a sticker
that says you have to be 18 or whatever age they say. We talk to so many
people, but one of them was a lady who, no joke, had a beard!! There
were some long black hairs dotting all the way down her chin line! So
crazy haha. We saw a guy with implanted horns on his forehead, scary.
We have an investigator named Javier. A huge guy who works out all
the time and is awesome. He love us, but the other day he said he
couldn´t be baptized even though he knows its right, just because his
mom doesn´t agree with it. I´ve been praying for him and hope that
he´ll make the right decision.
Lets see, I hardly have any time, I´m so sorry for the super short email! I still need to write the president :S
But...Oh there's a cactus fruit that is completely filled with these seeds. Don´t ask me how I ate it (a lady fed us 3) and while we were eating
them she told us quietly that if you eat too many you can´t go to the
bathroom. AHH! I was so worried, it was kinda like that moment when we
drank the water and she said it was from the trout creek (trout poop
creek) and I spit it out. I didn´t spit it out but I didn´t eat any more
hahaha.
Life here is great, next week I´ll send some pictures hopefully.
Love you all, the Church is so awesome,
Love Elder Franson
