Week 29 : Carving Watermelons in the DR (Nov. 3, 2014)

Buenas :)

This week was once again a slow week as far as lesson go.  A lot of our lessons fell through :P  But it was still a good week.  Unfortuately, we may have just lost two of our oldest progressing investigators.  One may be moving to Spain next week and the other believes the church is true, but still doesn´t want to give up her religion... Tough stuff.

Juan Carlos is still doing awesome!! Every time we see him he has more energy and excitement to learn.  He is still working on quitting smoking.  It´s been a long process so far, but he is doing awesome!! He has so much support from the ward.  They all love seeing him at church!  Speaking of church, he came again!! He almost didn't because he had a work party, but said, ¨no, I`m going to church first.¨ He´s awesome!!

Halloween was awesome!!  Hermana Mejia and I dressed up as missionaries ;)  It was quite fun.  And we also carved a watermelon (pumpkins don´t really exist here).  And what is Halloween without chili?  Bro. Hansen´s tradition lives on even in the DR :)


















On Saturday we had a Helping Hands service project in the church.  The members got together and we cleaned the church and the block on which it sits.  It was quite a project seeing as how this city (or country) isn´t the cleanest, but it felt good to help.  I did my best to pick up even the little pieces of trash and ended up getting crap from some crap from one of the youth.  He made a point of telling me that I didn´t need to pick up every little piece and when I objected, he tactfully placed more tiny pieces of trash in my path, making a game for him and the rest of the group.  They continued this game and didn´t mention a thing to me until the service project was over.... haha!  But what fun we had while serving.

This week is transfers.  Me and my comp will stay together for at least one more transfer.  One of the Hermanas in my house just finished her mission and her comp will be getting a mini missionary this transfer.   Interesting, we will see how things go.

Nothing too big to report this week, other than things are going good here in Lava Pies.

Love you all.

Love, Hermana Perry
