Week 62

Holaaaaa! Koman ou ye? 

These last weeks have been pretty good and we already had transfers again! My new companion is named Elder Silva and he's from Brazil! He is super cool! This is only his second transfer in the field and so i'll be finishing his training. He also just got to the country 4 days ago. He doesnt really speak spanish or english so cominication has been interesting. Luckly he understands almost everything in spanish and he seems to being picking up the speaking part quickly so that's awesome. 

Getting to see everyone at transfers was so much fun. 

We had another lesson with elder Cordón and it was so amazing. I can not put into words the power and spirit that is there when he teaches. I know that what he teaches is true. 

This week was super hot for some reason.

We got to leave with Elder Jean Baptist and that was super fun, he is haitian and he wanted to help us with some of our friends. He knows how to connect with everyone and is so kind and loving. 

Things between haiti and the Dominican Republic are bad right now so please pray that they will be able to resolve their problems.

We had a water fight for zone p day and that was suoer fun. I love this zone

We recently met a man named Patrick and he is so amazing. He is from haiti and like most haitians he works way more than he should. He works monday-friday as an electrician from 7-5 and then he enters his second job as a security guard at 6pm-7am. He told us this and I thought to myself oh he's never going to come to church but we decided to invite him and he came! Not only did he come but he was the first person there. He had gotten home from work at 7 am, showered and got in his church clothes and then headed straight for the church to be there at 8:30. When we asked him how church went he said ,”I'm going next week!!!" He said he felt loved and welcomed. This is the role of the members. You guys do matter and i invite you, please if you see someone visiting, say hi, introduce yourselves and trust me. It makes a difference.

Week 8

  I'm not a huge fan of writing emails but apparently people want me to write more. Therefore I am going to default to bulletpoints This was a super awesome awesome week and it had a lot of miracles - I'm starting to really love Oregon. The weather is beautiful and the branch is amazing. I've never seen a more unified branch and I'm honored to be a part of it.  - We got to talk to a very drunk guy who had a really big Bible in Guatemala so that was sweet. We also talked to a guy smoking a cigar that says we should wear baby clothes to protect us so maybe I'll take that into consideration.  - We got to go to the Portland temple with two new converts and this was a super cool experience. Everyone in the branch that could go went and drove the hour to support their fellow members. It was super special.  - We had a mission tour and Elder Nash who is the president over all the missionary work in the world came and spoke to us. He taught us about the importance of the mem...

Week 31/32

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. That was really sad because I had been there for 5 months and they became super good friends. That is one of the hard parts about the mission. You get used to changing really fast.   Wednesday was transfers, so we woke up at 6 and left at 8 for the capital. The guagua driver was not very pleased with how heavy our suitcases were. Once we got to the capital some people helped us off the guagua and told us they could help us get to the ch...
