Week 68


Hola! Como estan? The last two weeks have been pretty eventful. 

I should probably start with our friend Yacleys. A new memeber name Hermana Ofelia told us last Wednesday that she has a friend that would like to have visits. We quickly got to know Yacleys. We invited her to church and she came! After teaching 2 more lessons she came to church again and then decided that she wanted to be baptized! I have never see someone progress so quickly. 

We aslo got to meet a guy named Richard who also is super amazing. He wants to spend every second reading the scriptures and studying. I am shocked because every time i think there are no more people to be found people come out of nowhere. 

We visited the united states which was awesome. For pday we decided to go to the US embassy which was fun. 

We had the primary program yesterday and it was so amazing

We got to go to the templeeee. Our appointment was for at 8am but me and my comp decided to get there at 6:45 and it was so quiet and peaceful and amazing. 

We met a guy who studied the French Horn and apparently is super good. We met him becuase he was playing the accordion In the park. 

We had another lesson with Elder Cordón and it was super cool to see his testimony and knowledge of the scriptures. 

We had two exchanges this week which was super fun. 

Also transfers are this week but we're pretty sure that nothing is changing and so I should get to stay one more here. 

Anyways this week we had a group of people from Trinidad visit the temple. It is amazing the sacrifices that they make so they can visit the house of the lord. If you live close i invite you to take advantage of it and visit the temple when possible. 

Love Elder Greer!

  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...
