klk a todos!  I hope you are all doing SO well and I hope you all had an amazing week!! Fun things from this week  1. We went to the temple! On Thursday morning we woke up bright and early at 4am and headed to the temple for the day! The temple here is BEAUTIFUL! It's kind of pinkish and I love it! The inside was even more beautiful! Since I'm in the DR it was all in spanish, so I thought I wouldn't understand anything, but I actually understood more than I thought I would! It was really cool!  It was so much fun getting to see everyone! I made lots of new friends and I love all the missionaries here soooo much! They are all so cool and so funny!  2. We went into our colmado to buy some bananas and the worker was a little boy, we asked how old he was and he said 7.  We asked if he worked there and he told us he's the owner haha, we asked how much for 1 banana and he told us 15 pesos (usually it's 2 bananas for 15 pesos). We were like "hmm" so we talked to ...

Holaaa everyone! How's it going?? I hope you are all doing AMAZING! This week was a really good week!  I went on 2 exchanges because my companion is an Hermana Leader, so she goes on an exchange at least once a week, that means I do too!!  Both times I was put with brand new missionaries who got here a week ago, which means they speak no spanish so basically I was in charge and had to do all the lessons alone and talk to everyone. It was a great learning experience and I know more spanish than I thought I did! But that was horrifying but it was a great chance for me to grow First things first  IT'S SO HOT HERE! I feel like I'm melting! And the thing is, IT'S ONLY MARCH, it's gonna be sooooo hot this summer I think I'm going to turn into liquid  RAIN  On Wednesday we left the house at about 2 and it started to sprinkle then... it started to pour and carrying an umbrella is WAYY too much work so we just were soaking wet for a few hours. We finally dried and were i...

Holaaa! What's up?! This week was so much fun! We had transfers and it was so so so sad and hard to say bye to my bestie, Hermana Lowry, but I got a new best friend, Hermana Heggie! She's wayyy cool and she's from Canada!  I feel like I'm learning and understanding SO much spanish every single day! It's so much fun not to be in the dark all the time! I love it! This past week, I feel like I have learned to love this country even more than I did before, IT'S SO COOL HERE! THE PEOPLE ARE SO COOL HERE! I LOVE IT HERE! Every day is so fun and so exciting and so new and so different and I see God's hand so much every day! By the end of the day I'm exhausted but I just want to go talk to people, it's so fun!!  MIRACLE I SAW! Our friend Paul, we had been teaching him consistantly and he was progressing and we put him on date, then he wouldn't answer our texts and he wasn't ever home. We talked to his wife, but she doesn't speak much spanish but ...

It was fast Sunday this week.  Our friend Paul, he was on date to get baptized on the 4th. We stopped by his house like a week ago and his family told us that he was deported back to Haiti and he left his phone with his family so we had no way of contacting him and had no idea when he was coming back. But this fast Sunday we fasted for Paul that he would come back, a few hours after we...
