Week 21

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 in our friend Ibibo and Elitenors house and all the sudden it sounded like bowling balls falling from the sky. We ended our lesson and had to walk up the callejone to get to our friend Pauls house. The second we stepped out of Ibibos house the callejone turned into a river we were INSTANTLY soaked, I've never seen so much rain. We had to get to Pauls house so we took a nice, fun, little hike up to Pauls house and when Paul found us yelling "holaaaa" outside his door, soaking wet, laughing our heads off, he thought we were insane hahaha but we ended up having a great lesson with him!! 


WE LOVE PAUL!!!
I wish all of you could meet Paul, he's the coolest man I've ever met!
We taught Paul the word of wisdom and he told us he doesn't do drugs or alcohol because he knows that stuff doesn't do any good, but he was like "but I love coffee, I love to dip my bread in it in the morning" We asked him if when he doesn't have coffee if he gets a headache and he was like "obviously" so we explained that it is an addiction but because he doesn't speak much spanish he didn't know the word addiction, but finally it clicked and he was like "OH OKAY! I will quit coffee". We went back the next day and he told us that he told all his friends and his family what we taught him and they are all quiting coffee now! He's so cool!!!
He's on date for April 8th, everyone PLEASE keep Paul and his family in your prayers, they need all the prayers and blessing they can get!!! 


WE ARE GOING TO THE TEMPLE THIS WEEK, I'M SO EXCITED

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 ...
