This has been a week of Torrential rains. The island has been under high alert. Because Tenerife is a desert island they are not used to this much rain, especially in the South. We were in Los Cristianos for 6 months with one rain storm in February when we arrived and then nothing until after we left. There are dry washes everywhere here with little vegetation and they have been overflowing with mud and rocks going onto the roads. Yesterday we saw a big waterfall coming off a ledge next to the freeway in Santa Cruz. It was Elder Anderson's birthday on Wednesday, our district meeting day, and I made a cake and planned for a little celebration there, but we weren't sure we were going to have it. The hour before our Zone leader said we were go so I was glad I had made the cake. We ordered pizza and had our party after all. 24 hours later it is still raining. The map looks like it might cease on Saturday. At least it is not snow. Here are some you tube videos that I could find.
This is in Guaza close to Los Cristianos
