(I
would love to be with you all today, but no worries, I’m going to enjoy the day
here in the Dominican Republic)
pues
si, (Welp)
This
week went really well. It rained a ton and we had a couple of cool experiences!
After losing one of the families that
we were teaching we were able to find other wonderful people that are willing
to listen to us. It’s funny how we met them.
We had just finished with a lesson and we were walking out of a little
community and I asked my comp if he had gone down a certain street that is
there? It seemed a little dark and just
not a place where missionaries would go ha . He told me that he hadn’t and that he didn’t
want to either! I figured that if we've never been we should
go ... so we went began contacting. Honestly we passed like 20 little
apartments before we got to the first door that we knocked on. When we knocked a woman answered the door and didn’t
seem to be interested but we put a day to go by her house visit with her whole
family. We went on and did a couple other contacts,
then left the area. When we went back we
found out that this woman had read the pamphlet that we left with her and had
also invited her family to come and listen to us!
On
Thursday we just had a weird morning with meetings and things that weren’t
planned. So when we went out to teach I
just felt weird. I didn’t want to be where we were because there wasn’t a set
appointment in the area, so I asked my comp if he wanted to go to the other
side our area to see if we could find something or... somebody ha . So we did. When we got there it started raining a little
so we kept walking then it started pouring and my comp said to me. Watch how the Lord works. We'll get into the next house we knock at. That’s
exactly what happened! We got the chance
to talk to an awesome guy that is named Rafael.
He’s married and has two little
girls. The thing is that we didn’t get to leave his house. A storm hit right as we went in and it rained
so hard that it formed rivers in the streets, (see the photo below) covered bridges, entered
into houses and killed three people! Kind of crazy, but the Lord knows where to
put his missionaries and he protects
them and I have always been able to feel his protection!
Today
was transfer day and I am going to stay here in Arroyo Hondo with Elder Feliz. He will be the first missionary that I kill! (
missionary lingo for being the last companion before he goes home).
I
hope that all of you have a great Thanksgiving and that you realize the things that you are grateful
for in your life, hopefully the gospels in there!
and
someone please play a TURKEYBOWL for me !!!!
mucho love
