ZONE CONFERENCE!!! July 8th and 9th
We had zone conference and there was 30 of us missionaries that were there! President and Sister Jackson and the AP's flew down from Madrid. The Andersons, another senior couple, and all of the Elders from Tenerife came by ferry. The Lanzarote Elders also flew in from their island. Everyone arrived on monday, our P-day. We started out with a BBQ of real "American" hamburgers! Here we are getting ready to eat. Hermanas Buhler, Jackson, Floyd, Zitting, Hansen and Sheperd.
Hungry Elders lining up in our kitchen to eat!!
The Tenerife Elders even showed up with their own "island" shirts!! Elder Rockwood, who is serving on Lanzarote, is sporting his spanish "futbol" (soccer) shirt! They played basketball, soccer, ping-pong and volleyball after lunch!!
Hungry but happy Elders!!
Some of the desserts that we had for them. We tried to make it like a 4th of July BBQ since obviously they don't celebrate the 4th here!
After a fun day full of playing sports, everyone showered for the zone testimony meeting that we had with President and Sister Jackson.
More Elders!! Nothing better than having Sisters and Elders fill up your house!!
The Andersons with even more Elders!!
and some Sisters!!!!
Here we all are!! Hermana Jackson and I are on the stairs taking this picture!! Sorry that it is so shaded but the sun was on it's way to setting for the night. The best zone in the mission!!!
This picture was taken the next morning before heading down to Las Palmas to the Chapel for the Conference. These are the Elders from Tenerife and Lanzarote. The Elders and Sisters that serve on Gran Canaria were at their own apartments and met us at the chapel.
Elder Anderson and Elder Rockwood, both serve on Lanzarote. This is on our balcony overlooking Santa Brigida.
Gathering their things to go to the Conference. We had a total of 22 missionaries that spent the night at our house. (this included us, the Andersons, President and Sister Jackson and all of the Elders from Tenerife, Lanzarote and the AP's) Our house turned up side down with Elders, but oh how great it was!! I just love having zone conference!!
Our special musical number at the conference by the Gran Canaria district and one Tenerife Elder. They sang so beautiful!!! Elder Blanchard was playing the piano.

After Zone Conference, we all had lunch before everyone had to go back to their areas. A Sister from the Las Palmas branch made lunch for us. She makes great Canarian food!!
Patiently waiting in line to eat lunch. They were spiritually well fed but now they were physically hungry!!
In honor of the 4th of July, the Canarian Sister also made us an "American" cake!! It was so appreciated by all of the Americans!! Thanks so much!!
The Best Zone in the Mission!!!!!

Hermana Buhler,

I can't imagine the schedule you keep and all the good you do for everyone around you! Thank you so very much for all you do for our little Hermana and for all the missionaries, you and Elder Buhler are amazing and deserve to be blessed abundantly!
Love,
