First
and foremost. I had no idea what to title this email.
Second..
I'm sorry. I totally sent an email put last week but it's been stuck in my
outbox all week because the internet in this house is absolutely horrendous!!
That's just been my luck with houses on a mission haha
First
I was in a really nice house in puerto rico but then it was just down hill from
there with the La Union house that's literally just a dump hill then I got a
house every missionary calls the cave.. because it's literally a cave.. dark,
cold, no internet, but that house had good water :) but soon after I was in the
Hatillo house with absolutely no water for the entirety of my stay which
consisted of 12 weeks. And no power for 2 weeks on top of that. Then after that
and after Hati Nuevo I came here where the internet doesn't exist and the water
comes out super duper dirty... like visibly dirty.. I'm never going to take for
granted Homes in the US.... anyway sorry no internet, no email.
This
week the rains came down, and the floods came through. In my specific area I
came during the dry season but it's been raining so much lately, but no fret
because we're still hitting our goals and we still had our baptism this week! 2
of the 3 kids of Manuel and Magdalisa (those that we married and baptized and
few weeks ago) we baptized yesterday after church!
This
month is going by a little fast.. I still feel that we should be in the
beginning of May but here we are in the end. Above cleaner water and just a
little less rain there's nothing I would prefer more than if time would go much
slower. The mission is so much better that normal life, I literally just help
people all day and have absolutely nothing else to worry about. The thing I'm
most excited to do when I get back is put all of thus into practice. Last week
on Monday I think I watched YouTube videos and scrolled through Facebook for
like 3 hours and I've never hated myself more after that haha.. but as soon as
we got back home I made a list of daily activities I'm sticking to and I'm
giving my self a daily planning every single day! In it, I have daily
activities, weekly activities and monthly activities that will keep me
organized and live more righteously. Living righteously is always so much
better.
I'm
going to try to send out the last email and pictures separate.
Love
you!!

Good
morning all! We have no power right now.. haha
Its
been a good week though
We
had transfers and my beloved estranged companion Elder Jackson has now gone
back to the capital and I miss him already
Wednesday
however was quite the fight as everyone but Elder Greer and I had left early in
the morning and we were left without a phone until about 3 o clock so we
couldnt leave to teach or anything until Elder Jones came in from the south. 😑
Around
5 o clock my companion comes in from the capital as he had to stay behind to
work on his residency to be legal here in the country.
Elder
Goldfarbs a beast. He's from San Juan but not this San Juan.. he's from the San
Juan Argentina! He's like 6'4" and is the youngest of 2 other sisters.
Homie is obviously latino so he speaks his Spanish but with his accent its so
very hard for me to understand what he says... especially if it catches me off
guard or its out of nowhere.
I
read a little more about the Book of Mormon.
I
know it's true.
Just
so everybody understands, the book isn't the Bible of the Mormons, nor is it a
replacement of the holy Bible that includes the old and new testaments of Jesus
Christ.
The
Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and its contents were
written by Prophets from the continent of the Americas.
The
Prophet Mormon gathered in the writings from these holy men and organized them
into a book to testify of Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible... the book was
buried and hidden to be kept safe then revealed again by God when the Church
was restored. The Prophet of the restoration, Joseph Smith, translated the
contents of the Book and now the book also stands as evidence that Joseph
really was a Prophet.
I
know he was. And I love him. I have read the Book of Mormon now 5 times and I
have asked God humbly in prayer if it all really is true. I have received my
answer time and time again. And I'm still here. I know the Book of Mormon is
true.
Yall
ready know
