Week 20

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 we understood that he was deported back to Haiti:( we kept stopping by his house for several weeks but he was never there. He texted us last week and he told us he was back in the DR but he's so bad at answering his phone so we could never coordinate a time to teach him UNTIL Saturday, we were talking to some friends and I look to my left and I was like "oh my gosh that's Paul!!!!!!!" So we went and talked to him and he told us we could teach him that night and that he would come to church on Sunday! wahooo!
During our lesson he asked "why do so many bad things happen to me, I dont even have money to buy food for my family" that broke my heart. On Sunday morning we went to go get some friends to go to church and on our way took Paul and his family some food and when we saw him he was all ready for church!!
We hopefully will have a baptism for him and his daughter next weekend! Keep Paul and his family in your prayers! 


Our friend Rosa
Rosa's a recent convert but since she was confirmed she hadn't come to church and she won't meet with us, and when we go to her house, she won't open the door. We fasted for her and we asked Presidente what to do and he told us to just be her friend. We went to her house on Wednesday and she was so welcoming! She told us she's reading in her Book of Mormon everyday still and praying everyday! That was so good to hear! This next week we are going over to help her clean and for lunch! 
Everyone keep Rosa in your prayers as well!

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 ...
