Happy Semana Santa! How is
everything going on that side of the world?
Over here everything is as busy as
ever. This week has been the traveling and looking for houses week. This week
we went to Nagua, San Fransico, Jarabacoa twice, Puerto Plata three times, and
La Vega. During all of this traveling it has been a very rainy week so the
travel has been a little bit slower on these bad roads expecially to Jarabacoa
and Puerto Plata on wet roads. We also had all the other things that we
normally do to do on top of this. We did the mail and I did get your envelope
of chocolate, and had to get that sent out the same day because it is La Semana
Santa so everything was closed for part of the week.
We had to do another emergency move
in Puerto Plata so we had to do all the contracts and stuff and move the
missionaries in the rain which is never that fun because you can't let the
mattresses get wet or the wooden desks and they always get mad if you get their
bags wet.
So that has basically been our week
we have been living in the truck if it only had a bathroom in there that would
be our apartment.
During all the busy rush we had to
take a mini missionary to his house so we picked him up from Puerto Plata and
took him to Cien Fuegos to his house so I really wanted to stop by the
Cabrera's house so we were able to stop by and say hello really quick they were
all really happy to see me and now Jesus's little girl Merili talks but was too
shy to say anything. As we were on our way out I felt like we needed to stop by
and say hello to Hermana Blanca. She was so surprised that we went to her
house. She just about started to cry. She has been inactive ever since I have
left Cien Fuegos the missionaries who are there really don't know much about
her, and I doubt they even know where she lives. She was so happy and had asked
why we didn't call here to tell her that we were coming so that she could have
made something for us, but we didn't have time anyways so it was just good to
see her and invite her to church again. She said that she wanted to write me so
I told her that was fine, so we'll see if she sends me a letter, but it was a
great feeling afterwards.
When we finally were able to teach
some lessons we got out of a lesson and we were going to see if a contact that
we did was in the house a crazy lady came up behind us and said "OH the
Mormons so cute, tell me something beautiful" But when she came up she
like gave me a hug from behind, but she was pretty short so she was like
hugging my stomach, so I had to take her arms off me and turn around. The lady
at the house was apologizing and telling us that she is crazy. The crazy lady
left and we talked for a minute with the lady that we contacted but her brother
just left so we could share with them. The crazy lady came back and offered us
some chips but we kindly said no and she walked away a bit angry, but it was
funny with her rounded face with really curly hair sticking straight up.
Well I hope that you guys have a
great Easter. Thank you for the Chocolate. By the way did you guys make
homemade chocolate yet? Well I hope that you all have a great week and get
ready for General Conference this weekend. I love you all so much!
Con mucho amor
