Missionary Moment - Puerto Rico San Juan & Dominican Republic Santo Domingo West

Good morning all! I couldn't help realize fhat I hadn't even mentioned why my last email was titled the tigerajes are back, don't worry I'll explain. 

 

I'm a tigeraje. 

 

I know tons of slang like; klk gua gua gua! Dame la lu! Dame la luski! Cómo tu ta?? Opa opa! Klk mi loco! Klk mi creisi! 

 

Klk - que lo que (what's up) 

 

Sadly all of these phrases and more make you a gangster in the capital where I've served for 6-7 months now, however after I learned the phrases in Los Alcarrizos which is very gangstery I left to "the south" which means anywhere but the capital, phrases like those are kinda frowned upon and its kinda disrespectful, but now I'm back in the capital as the biggest tigeraje there lived! Ya tu sabes! 

 

Anyway crazy week this week, we're currently trying to get a couple people baptized this next week, one of which doesn't know any Spanish and is from Haiti, so we've been teaching her through a translator and learning Creole ourselves! We actually had a pre-baptismal interview with her and she ended up saying yes to on of the questions on number 4.. I'm sure only other missionaries know what that means, basically we called the president of the mission and they talked a lot on Repentance so there you have it! 

 Hurricane Fiona supposedly came in... someone must've prayed because all I see is a mid spring utah rain storm.. thank you for those bad boys, you always love a good prayer right? 

 Speaking about prayer.. yeah it works

 We had a friend (also from Haiti) tell us that she was unsure that God answers our prayers. This interaction helped me reflect on my own prayers and how sometimes I feel in the same boat until I had spoken to another missionary on the matter and he had told me that well, God always answers our prayers, we all know and have a firm testimony of that if we're willing to see what He has blessed blessed with, what it comes down to is if we all know that He's LUSTSNING. In cases like that we all simply need to have the faith sufficient enough to act, and pray, from there we need to always REMEMBER (just like the scriptures tell us) the blessings we have received. If we always have a firm belief that God always answers our prayers we'll never have to worry if he's listening because we'll know. 

 Yall already know 

 Love ya
