Week 15

I hit three months this week! I can't believe it! I feel like I was set apart yesterday! Time really does fly by when you're having fun doing the Lord's work!


Wednesday was an interesting day!
There was a leadership meeting and since we live close to the mission office we went to pick up a Hermana who's comp had to go to the leadership meeting, so we got to be in a trio for the day! it was way fun! 
Since our schedule was wayyy off from all the picking up and dropping off we didn't teach very many lessons, but we had a lesson scheduled with our friend Diamante Azul (coolest nickname ever) and we were going to teach him with the Elders we share an area with. So we met up with the Elders and we were at Diamante Azul's house but he texted us and said he was at him grandma's house, so he sent us his location and it was a longgg walk, but my comp said she knew a short cut, so long story short, we jumped a fence and went bush wacking for 30 minutes until we were on a road in the middle of nowhere with no houses, but the map said we were at his location. So we call Diamante Azul and he has no idea where we are so he said we can just do the lesson on Sunday. So there we are, five gringos standing in the middle of a dark street, no idea where we are.  So we call our homie Franklin and he came and found us and we went back to his house and shared a lesson with him and his boys! haha it was a very interesting night!!! 


On Saturday we had a member meal with this couple and they both served English speaking missions, so they were fluent in english and wanted to speak with us in english.  It was so great to be able to talk with them and understand them! 


We were walking in the street past a colmado and they were playing "let her go" in english instead of colmado music, so that was awesome and the highlight of my Thursday! 


OH MY GOSH ON SUNDAY..... we got to church and the first counselor walks up to me and asks me my name and then tells me I'm saying the closing prayer! It's scary to say the closing prayer in sacrement meeting in english, but in spanish... it's a different kind of fear! I knew what I was going to say when I got up there, but as soon as I started praying, suddenly everything decided to leave my mind ahh yeah so that happend hahaha but it's all good! Learning at getting better each day right:,)


spiritual
It was fast Sunday this week! Our friend Berny, he's a 19 year old boy who wants to learn but he doesn't keep commitments, ever. Everytime we give him a chapter in the Book of Mormon to read he promises us he will read it but he never does, he always promises to come to church but he never does. We told him if he won't start keeping commitments we have to stop teaching him. We went to see him yesterday and HE READ 3 NEPHI 11 and told us what he thought about it!!! That was such a miracle and I am so happy for him!!!!

Heyyy!!! Im loving life here in the DR! SO MUCH FUN!!!! this week was crazyyy!!!  This week we had exchanges! On Friday morning the Hermana leaders came to our apartment and picked me up and I said bye to my companion for 24 hours! The hermana leaders are a threesome so it was me, Hermana Dominguez, and Hermana Torrez. We headed to their apartment in a different area of Santiago but it was only about 20 minutes from my area. We had lunch (Hermana Torrez can COOK!!!) we did companion study, then headed out for the day! Their area was popey (rich) haha! It was beautiful, flowers everywhere!! But the people weren't as friendly. But we got ice cream from BON for dinner and it was good but not as good as my mom and grandpa's homemade ice cream!! The next day I headed back home and I missed my companion! I love my area so much and my comp so much!  We have been speaking only Spanish in the streets and I think it's been helping me a ton! Shoutout to Boomer for the great idea!! FEL...

Hola hola cómo están? Hey hey how's everyone doing? I hope you are all doing so so good and I just want you to all know I miss you so much! This week was so speedy!  And not anything really special happened. It definitely was a little bit of a harder week but with God anythings possible. But I saw a few wonderful miracles. Uur friend Jenny. She told us she wanted to go to church but she only had money to get to church, not to get back home. But she took a step of faith and God worked out the rest of the details like He always does.  We had zone conference and it was so so good. The thing that stuck most with me was becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ, not just a missionary. We also talked about keeping the end in mind as missionaries and our goal as missionaries is to baptize people who are converted to Jesus Christ. It was a really good conference. Then the senior missionaries made peanut butter bars and they reminded me of my dad, bittersweet. On Sunday we had stake conferen...

HEY EVERYONE!!!! Hows everyone doing?? On December 12th I got to the DR! It was a long day of travel but we made it! We flew from Mexico to Florida then from Florida to the DR! We got on our second flight to Santiago and the plane was full of natives. I tried to talk to this cute old man sitting next to me but I swear he wasn't speaking Spanish hahaha. That's when I knew I was in for a wild ride.  We got to Santiago and went to President Bretóns house! We spent the night there and in the morning they had a Dominican breakfast ready for us! It was really good! Then we headed to the mission office and had orientation. Then we got to meet our companions! My comp is so awesome! Her name is Hermana Lowry! She's been out in the field for almost 16 months! She's an incredible missionary and I love her!! We headed to our area and I'm in Bella Vista!  The people here are so awesome!  We mostly teach kids and women! The kids absolutely love to hear the gospel!  Since I'm ...
