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

Hey yall! 

 

Sorry for no longer writing every week! Here in San Juan Elder Jackson and I have been trying to go to new water falls and hikes every week we've been Herr, but there's one waterfall called San Pedro that's nearly impossible to get to with now 3 attempts but have still not seen it, but we're gonna try next week as this week we're going to Elias Piña which is the border of Haiti and there's a Haitian market there that apparently sells everything.. I'll be the judge of that ;) 

As far as this area goes, it's pretty difficult, the members are harder to work with and many people haven't made steps to change or progress, and my companion even though is super fun is just a very different missionary than me and all of it with the time I now have in a mission is killing me a bit, making me miss home, not my things nor worldly things that I've given up to be here just my energy to keep working.. 

So I'm currently building up that energy and trying to look for all the miracles that I can to keep myself focused! No se preocupen ;) 

One of those miracles happened yesterday as we were on the kast day for the week but hadn't completed all our goals but after church we left with a cool member and her cute daughter to visit a few people and during one of the lessons we met Mario which completed our goal to find people and almost our goal to have members present so that's lit haha 

 Even though it's tough around here I'm so grateful for the member who took time from her family, and from everyday house chores to help us help others.. one of the reasons that strengthens me as a missionary 

I miss you all and love you all more!
