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

 This place is super hot

 Transfers came early and I was separated from my beloved Argentinian and placed with a Dominican from the North in Santiago and put into the zone of Barahona (Zone of beaches) in an area farthest away from the water but still in the same zone... pretty unfortunate 

 Vicente Noble is much like San Juan in that I have a small place to work but big enougj to keep me busy all the time... when I got here i realized immediately that i was whitewashing the area. Normally one Elder leaves and another stays to teach the area but they took out both elders and we both are completely new to this place and figuring it out as we go. 

 Its much hotter here and really quite uncomfortable. To be so very honest, i miss San Juan so much. Ive already considered building a home there when my mission is completed... really considered it.. 

 People here are also quite different.. almost completely different as they speak and talk to each other differently than they would in San Juan and there are a lot more inconsiderate people with a lot less integrity. The whole town knowns and has most likely spoken to missionaries before however when we invite them ti do something like come to the chapel they always give us a hard "yes! Ill be there"... even members make that same jesture but come Sunday and its wasn't looking to hot. 

 I feel like im in Hatillo again but this time around with water and power in our house haha but the resemblence comes from the fact that our branch president is completely off the books... just like the one in Hatillo our Branch President has kinda just left... no one knows where he is.. 

 All in all this is the best situation for me as i wrap up my mission here.. this is probably my last area until I come home then back to San Juan lol 

 Its good to be a missionary :) 

I love you! 

 Elder Jorgensen
