Jonah's Mission

Hola! Cómo están? I hope all is well, and I am sorry for not sending an email last week, I started it but then forgot to finish and send it. Anyways, here's my last 2 weeks On Sunday, I found out that I was going to get transferred to Las Matas, which is a very small town about 40 minutes from the Haitian border.   I spent most of Monday packing, but we had a service project with Tony, which was a lot of fun. We helped him paint a house, and that all went pretty well.   On Tuesday we spent most of the day saying goodbye to all the members.

We have resulted in fetching water with a bucket and rope from our water well. It was fun the first time, but now it's just inconvenient. I'm very thankful for running water.   Some Dominicans do not like to feel like they're wrong, and so when they don't understand, they'll tell us to speak Spanish even tho we are definitely speaking Spanish and they didn't hear us.   Oh, this should probably be at the top, but there was an earthquake this week, and so that was super cool.  It was the first one I've ever experienced, and so it felt so weird. I was on exchanges in Ciudad Satellite, and the hous...
