The best P-day ever!!!  Today we had all of the missionaries from our island, Gran Canaria, at our house.  Here they all are on our balcony over looking Santa Brigida.  Yes, the weather was perfect!!









The Hermanas received permission to spend the night at our house last night.  We started our morning by walking up to La Atalaya (the next pueblo up the mountain) and beyond!  Here they all are on the road with a scenic view behind them.  Our island and Hermanas are so beautiful!!

We had a friendly competition between the companionships.  We started off by playing "PIG" in basketball.  Here the Las Palmas Elders are going against the Vecindario Elders.  There were some pretty spectacular shots!!  This is at our house in the basketball court in the backyard.  The house we live in is an old mission home from when the Canary Islands was a mission.








Here are the Hermanas from Las Palmas and Telde competing in "PIG".  Elder Buhler is watching the amazing shots!











Here we are playing against the Las Palmas Elders in "PIG".  We gave them a good run but had to accept defeat in the end!







We then played ping pong.  Here Elder Buhler is in his Japanese "Fun Leader Bandana" that he received from our daughter who is currently serving in Japan.  He may look intimidating but we again had to accept defeat!



Our next game was the "Paper Sack" game.  The object was to stand on one foot and pick up the paper sack with your mouth without letting any other part of your body touch the ground.  Here is Elder Day showing his skills in this game.

Here is Hermana Zitting attempting to get the paper sack!  Notice the paper sack is a lot shorter.  After each round, the paper sack was cut to make it harder.  Hermana Floyd is watching in the background.

Elder Day is successful in picking up the Paper sack and made it into the finals!

Elder Pugh had some good attempts!

This is Hermana Floyd having success picking up the paper sack!

Hermana Sheperd was so good and flexible in this game.  She made it into the finals!  She was amazing!

Elder Delgado had the best skills in this game and beat us all!  He was pretty amazing!

We had a BBQ, ate a lot of food, played volleyball, laughed and emailed our families.  The greatest 
P-day ever!!  He we all are (even us in a portrait drawn by a Russian couple that stayed with us a couple of weeks ago.  We are taking the pictures)  We have the best missionaries in the whole world!!
