Sorry that we haven't written on our bog lately but we have been very busy!!  The Elders have baptized 3 people in the last two weeks.  We have been working hard with all of the activities and classes at the JAS center.  We started a Book of Mormon reading program for all of the JAS.

This was a baptism that was held at the beach in Vencidario.  Two sisters were baptized.  It was dark when they were baptized, but we could all see them being baptized and it was so cool!  Here are all of the friends and family that came.  We were designated to take the pictures for them.








Here are the two Elders that serve in Vencidario with the two sisters that they baptized (the cute little boy is a nephew to one of the sisters).  It was a very happy time!!












Here Elder Buhler with two of our awesome young adults.  They were planning a district JAS activity.  This was right before Noche de Hogar (FHE) last sunday night.









Our last P-day we went to a little city on the south end of the island called Puerto Mogan.  It is the "Venice" of Gran Canaria!  It is a really cute city with this canal that runs through it.












Elder Buhler is standing on a jetty that protects the beach from any waves.   You can see a part of Puerto Mogan in the background.









This is taken from the same spot but looking the other way.  You can see that this island was made from a volcano and the mountains rise straight up from the ocean in many parts.  It is very beautiful!!  The road goes right along the edge of this mountain overlooking the ocean and it is breath-taking!!











Here is a typical street in Puerto Mogan.  It is a retirement/tourist community with beautiful yachts!!













I am standing next to the harbor that is full of beautiful yachts, but I guess you can only see me and a part of a boat.  Sorry, it was a beautiful sight!  I guess you will just have to come and visit us to see the yachts!










Elder Buhler is doing the"tourist wave" in the same harbor.  Puerto Mogan is a very quaint and beautiful city!










This is a beautiful beach that is between Puerto Morgan and Puerto Rico (both of these are cities on the south end of the island).  The water here was a beautiful turquoise!












We stopped on our way back to Las Palmas in Maspalomas, which is a very big tourist beach.  On the boardwalk were these two "street entertainers".  We thought it was pretty amazing.  Can you figure out how they did this?











This is our District at our district meeting this past wednesday.  We wanted to take a picture of us because transfers are this monday and we don't know who is going to be possibly transfered?  Don't worry, we won't ever be transfered!  Our whole mission is on Gran Canaria!
