Missionary Moment - Puerto Rico San Juan & Dominican Republic Santiago West

I love it here. 

What's up everybody! I hope you all had a great week and got lots of things done that we're meanfully or fulfilling to you! 

This week was pretty uneventful for us but with all of my complaints I promise I looked for a blessing, and guess what.. THERE WAS A BLESSING! 

No water. Yeah I'm been living without water for about 7-8 weeks now. 

 Kinda sucks 

 But the truth us we are smart enough to fill everything we the lady down stairs turns on the pump and we just buy drinking water off the street so that truth really comes to we never have "flowing" water... bucket showers let's go! 

No electricity. 

 Yeah... no 

 So really the only thing we need power for is to see at night, use a microwave, keep the fridge running, change the phone, and keep the fan on... shoot 

But thankfully our neighbors are g's and gave us a Dominican outlet to keep our fridge alive and keep a fan going during the day and phone charged at night. 

The only nightmare is that we don't have a fan at night but we have also been blessed with a window that heavenly father has been blowing through to keep the temperature down. 

 And no baptism. 

Marcalle is still having issues keeping his teeth in with all his cigarettes.. I will however say that he has been an addict for 6 years and for him to be smoking 1 once a week to once every other week is more than anything I can say for myself. Hopefully he can get baptized this next month. I know he can use our prayers. 

Still have the flu and still kicking it out here, you can really see results from your week on Sunday, instead of the 0 last week we got about 8 and some of them being new. We also got a baptismal date set for Yajaira so that's lit 

 It was a long and challenging week! Rip all my boys who finished up last transfer and RIP Tady! He literally got banished to one of the biggest Área in the mission and he'll probably be there for a bit while everybody forgets about him except for me! 

Love you dog 

I think I also have to include a section about my new companion Elder Debelmar! 

 He's pretty funny and loves to dance! He's actually very very good at it too! He also is ready to work hard, with about 7 months on a mission he speaks Spanish very well but still struggles with understanding which I completely understand. 

 Also a quick shout out to my old Neighbor Sister Kershaw!! Hey! We found your cousin and are teaching her in Los Alcorizos! Thankfully the Hermanas are taking care of that. That was a good find on their part! 

Miss you all but love you all more!
