Missionary Moment - Puerto Rico San Juan & Santo Domingo Santiago West Mission


Good Morning! Elder Jorgensen at it again and this one's a banger! 

Like always I hope your all doing so great! 

This week was so very busy! Every night I come home my mood is down and I get super hangry because of how hard and much we are pushing out every single day! We had a day straight of never-before-heard-of-day where absolutely nothing fell through! What?? Everything always falls through on us so to be guided to something different after the other was something very special to see. Tuesday was just as guided as we had exchanges with the others elders in our district and I was with Elder Taggart and everything cita that was given to work with was brought with the spirit and as I work harder and harder WITH the Holy spirit my spanish and my testimony both grow.  

On Wednesday night Elder Townsend and I prepared a youth activity, blowing up balloons and putting questions inside and buying some darts ( with its dart board ) and popping the balloons and answer the questions, we also made cookies and got some soda for them, which they destroyed as they played dominoes ( it's huge here! ) And played a missionary game called "signs" which was a complete fracaso! (Signs was a complete failure) but the night itself was super fun for the youth because of how long it's been since they've had an activity and having more youth converting to the church makes it so much more fun! It definitely makes me unbelievable thankful for the youth activities I was blessed with by my leaders! 

This week we also had Santa Semana which is like the big party week in the carribean where they celebrate Easter, all they normally do is retreat to their home town up north in Santiago where their parents live and those who stay just drink tons and enjoy themselves with loud music. But despite the craziness of these people 24 / 7 we got everything we set out to do in doing our job here. It only got nuts when one guy bowed to us with almost perfect form as if he's been practicing for that for awhile and when one other guy who doesn't know too much about missionaries but still loves them totally 

The next thing that was released just last night was transfes! It's for sure much bigger news than last in that Elder Townsend is off to San Cristobal with a dominican comp and I stay leading out the area with a missionary serving his last transfer on his mission, Elder Knight! 

This week I only have 1 picture of a frog that I caught in the boonies teaching a pastor over a tin racked church thing and his really big family! 

I love you all so much! Stay safe and stay brave! 

Elder Jorgensen
