ZONE CONFERENCE 4-13

  

Our Zone consists of 3 sets of young elders, the Altmans ( who didn't go this time) and us on our island of Tenerife and  2 sets of Elders and one set of sisters on Gran Canaria plus the Senior couple the Buhlers, who live in the old Mission Home in Las Palmas.  The house is a charming 4000 sq. ft. home in need of constant repair.  The church wants to sell it, but until that happens the Buhlers have been willing to host the entire zone for 2 days.  Sister Buhler cooked for all of us and the food was really good.  Monday morning very early we 8 missionaries boarded the ferry for a 3 hour ride to Gran Canaria.  The Buhlers rented a van and picked us all up.  It was P-Day and the boys spent the day playing basketball, ping pong and soccer.  They had a great time together and most of them were sunburned by the end of the day. Mike and I stayed behind, during the soccer game, to clean the kitchen and finish the lunch preparations.

   

 That evening, after a great dinner of pulled pork tacos,  we had a wonderful testimony meeting.  The spirit was beautiful there.  These young men and women are the best!

Here is sister Buheler in her kitchen with the dinner ready to be inhaled. 

 The next day we spent most of the day being taught by the AP's , President Jackson and Brother Denise a member of the district presidency (on the end)  This is all of us.

After the meeting a sweet lady from the Las Palmas branch had prepared a great lunch for all of us. 

This is 5 of the elders from Tenerife.

I borrowed these pictures from sister Buhlers blog (that is linked to mine on the side bar) if you want to see more.  The quality of the pictures in transition wasn't great but I am happy to have them.
