It’s been a good week! Here is a quick rundown.
We had a good district meeting, although it’s weird to adjust to the mission culture here because the hermanas don’t really like spending time with the elders, whereas we were all good friends in the WVM. It’s kind of sad not getting to see other missionaries very often. Anyway, we had a district lunch at Wendy’s afterwards and that felt super surreal because I’ve had so many district lunches at Wendy’s before. Everything was familiar, but also super different, being in Puerto Rico and speaking in Spanish to people I don’t know. But, I think I will like my district.
We also had a really fun mutual with the jovenes this week. We had a Just Dance competition! Hermana Rollins and I fasted with one of them this week, Irelyn, because her mom won’t let her get baptized or come to church anymore. It’s really sad because Irelyn is just amazing and every time I see her I just picture her as a missionary.
We met a lot of really amazing, miraculous people this week! It has been a really good week for finding and we have been so blessed to get to share our testimonies with these people. I am excited to meet with all of them again!
I hit my 10-month mark this week. For some reason, 9 months didn’t hit me quite as hard. 10 months feel strange and I don’t like it haha. I am scared about how fast the time is going! But sometimes it’s also hard to realize that I still won’t see my family for another 8 months.
Anyway, I realize that I still haven’t been able to describe much about Puerto Rico. There’s just so much, I don’t really know where to start. If you send me questions, I will answer them next week. I am also allowed to use Google hangouts in this mission, so feel free to message me if you want a reply right away!
I love you all! Espero que tengan una semana fantastica! Don’t forget the importance of being a good example to those around you through your actions of charity and love, and keeping the commandments! You do make a difference through righteous living!
Love,
Hermana O’Barr
