I am happy to annouce I am staying put!! Put right in Gazcue with
my dear companion Hermana Arce!! Yesterday Hermana said before church
she was kinda feeling like she might leave, I told her not to talk
dirty. So we went about working hard and enjoying a beautiful day and
last night we got the phone call. I don´t think a district leader (the
elder that calls) has ever heard a two happier Hermanas! We wanted
Heavenly Father´s plan and we are just so happy it worked out that
Heavenly Father´s plan was the same beautiful thought we had too! We
have big plans for Gazcue this transfer!
Not sure if you heard about the potential hurricane to hit the DR.
Well I am happy to report it didn´t! Just a big beautiful down pouring
rainstorm. So you know even if it ever had I have learned some life
lessons on the mission as well! We are prepared missionaries as the
prophets and leaders have counseled. Before the storm even got here
they canceled all our meetings and gave the missionaries time to make
sure everything was in well place for our 72 hour kits.
A funny moment, Hermana and I as we left the house we grabbed small apples to eat and she jokingly said try to split it in half as she was grunting trying to do her´s, well I must have gotten the bit soften one because mine spilt right in half. Her face, hilarious. I most certainly had to laugh.
A man gave me an avocado! We were quite excited and he called it a welcoming. I love how giving the people are here!
Last night we finished all our appointments got our member home that left with us and then had to run to make it home in time! We had been wanting rain all day and as a special blessing it came as we ran home. Okay ran home and then sped walked and then ran and then sped walked. But we made it and the rain, oh such a blessing.
Sharing in missionary work brings the greatest joy! We had some members leave with us this week and it was amazing to see how they openly testified of truths and how no matter the reactions as we left each appointment their smiles got a little bigger. Testifying of truths Heavenly Father leads and you find joy.
We found a lost crab on the street! He must have wandered a little far from the ocean we wanted to help him, but his claws looked a little big and he looked a little un happy so we left him in peace.
Weny one of our dear investigators who needs to get married, but so kind and progressing. She is pregnant with the smallest little body. Its like a stick with a basketball.. She walked all the way to church with us about 25 minutes. Might not seem like much, but for a small pregnant lady in a hot August I found it incredible. I love the faith of these dear people and the sacrifices people are willing to make.
