This week has
had its up and downs where to start...
We have a new
investigator this week named Nahomy. She is 11 but is super super smart. She has
been going to church with a member for over a month now and is very prepared. I
got to invite her to be baptized and she said yes so hopefully the 30th of
Nov.
When
we were out one night working my comp wanted to go visit this member, but we had
absolutely no reason to do so. So I insisted that we go contact in this other
area. Usually he pulls rank and does what he wants, but I didn´t let him. I just
started going with or without him haha. I felt strongly about doing this though,
and he came with me. Anyway when we were
contacting, this lady, Siomara, came up to us all excited and asked to take the
lessons! She had been contacted in Santiago and had a restoration pamphlet, so
now we are teaching her! She seems excited so hopefully she chooses to
accept.
Saturday
we got to do Mormon Helping Hands. We went to a cemetery and cleaned it up for a
few hours. They bury all their dead above ground, so that was interesting and
there is definitely no organization.
One time this
week I was doing dishes and out of the corner of my eye I saw this... critter
fly from somewhere into the pantry. It looked big and I thought that it was a
spider but we couldn't find it. Later Elder Tirado saw it and thought that it
was a mouse. Turns out it was a huge freaking HUGE cockroach, Elder De La O
killed it but I’m still not sure if I will sleep the same again ;)
Well
I’m enjoying life here and I’m sure it will only get better! It’s always fun
when the random goat walks past or four missionaries squeeze in the back of a
carro and I’m laying on their laps and a guy in the car over takes a pic. That’s
when you know that you are squeezed tight... even for Dominican standards haha.
As to
the “no regrets,” that is definitely my motto! The pain of discipline is less
than the pain of regrets!! I can sleep and be tired when I am dead. I am here to
work! :)
