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

My card doesn't work so I haven't had money for about 3 weeks. One of the other Elders is a beast and has been keeping me alive. 

Hey everyone!! 

I hope you're all well! 

 We got calls awhile ago and I got news that my Dominican companion was out along with another Elder that we lived with. 

Transfers were done on Friday so I had gone to the city of Barahona with the other American that was keeping me alive and we were asked to stay at a house with only 2 beds and so we kinda just went up to the roof and layer down on nothing. It really wasn't that bad as we didn't actually sleep.. we watching the clouds and stars and soon a tropical storm that came in from the east that had just barely missed us. But for hours we watched the sky light up with lighting and the building shake with the power of the thunder.. 

we stayed on the roof for this entire time 

At about 2:30 we starting sleeping until 4:30 where we got up to go 4 hours to the capital. 

 There I recieved my companion who I'll be training! His name is Helquist and he's such a beast! I've never trained before I've only ever gotten Elders right after their training but I'm enjoying it so far.. the homie is from New Hampshire but moved to Provo Utah when he was 11 because his grandma had cancer. He's been there ever since until I received him here... his grandma survived btw

The Wednesday before we left I got a little sick but after I slept 2 hours hours on a roof it got a little worse and it's been gradually worsening until now.. I do however feel better now and should be on top of everything on Wednesday. 

Work here in this area is kinda hard.. it's just harder than other areas I've had but I'm learning lots and my companions lit so all good things around here... 

Love yall!
