Nothing makes us sadder right now than the prospects of leaving our Hermanas. We have enjoyed being able to help them shop, get to appointments and teach lessons. They are awesome young women and hard working missionaries. We are trying to enjoy some P-Day experiences together before we leave. This week we took them to the base of Teide. It ended up being not the best day to go. When we got up that morning is was unusually hot for a Canary morning but we thought once we got up the hill it would cool down with altitude. Not so, as we were having a Calima (hot winds from the Sahara) My favorite little village, Vilaflor, was an oven. It was a bit better once we got to the base of Teide, not really cool, but tolerable. We planned to take the Gondola up to the volcano but the line looked like it was many hours long so we had a little picnic and came home.
