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



Good morning all! I pray your all happy and cozy as winter descends upon you! Im getting so excited for it haha

 

This week was so much better! The truth is i didnt have too much to say last week because I remained pretty sick but God has blessed me to get better and I've rededicated my time, talents and efforts to do everything I can to strengthen and grow the glorious work of the Lord here. 

 

To be quite honest we had done a lot this week but I'm not quite sure what to share haha... I suppose you all have to know of all the references we're getting in places that are so far from where we normally teach. Last Thursday we had walked for like 2 hours to get to a place called bayahonda... my legs are still pretty shot from walking so far but the homie we met there was hype! 

 

He said he wanted to get baptized and be a part of our family but because of distance he won't be able to come to church... fortunately he doesn't actually stay here forever because this guy has another home in another part of the island where he works and there he has most access to get baptized and so plan B is to give this guys lessons through calls and technology :) 

 

There's another girl that referred herself to us that did it under an assumed, fake name... not sure why but she's also super cool haha we called her on Friday and she was so sweet and gentle to us so we're giving it a shot and going to her home tomorrow to visit! She's about the same distance but a different place..

 

The thing about this mission is that there are tons of people who wonder on Facebook or other social media feeds and end up finding an ad about our church. I pretty sure like 99% of them always put there information in referring themselves but when we reach out, 110% of them tell us that they aren't familiar with the ad that they solicited for haha... and so when you get good references it's game on for everybody 

 

Happy Thanksgiving! 

 

I have like 2-3 weeks left and I've found myself continually giving gratitude and expressing that gratitude to my companion more and more each day for what this place has done and is doing for me. Jesus really is the Christ. The Son of the living God and He lives. That's the most important truth I can ever tell you and plead with you to act upon. 

 

Have a wonderful week! I hope the snow doesn't hold up this cause I want to see it all! 

 

I love and miss you!!
