Sorry it took so long to get a letter back.. We left the CCM on a Tuesday and the Pday was Monday.. haha
But man. I´m in the DR. I´m gonna tell you right now, theres no way I could even begin to tell you what my past week has been like. You just gotta see what I´m seeing! This place is off the hook. It´s always a party for Dominicans. They¨re crazy! Everyone drives a little motor bike around.. Everyone! And if they´re not on a motor, they have a car with STACKS of subwoofers.. So loud... and so perfect. Oh, I guess it would be good to talk a little bit about my companion! His name is Elder Ford.. He´s from Arizona. I´m his first trainee.. And man, He´s patient with me. He is also on his last transfer!! But he´s still pretty cool. But yeah.. This place is much much different than anything back at home. The showers are cold (which feels amazing), You´re ALWAYS sweating. Always. Its how I picture life in College. Our stove is broken so we only eat like Ceareal and PB Js. I promise next week, I´ll write the family letter first. I´m totally fazzled. I´m gonna patch some pictures from a service project that we did saturday. We went to this farm wayyyy out in the Jungle. It was like straigh out of the movies.. It was a fruit tree farm, I´m pretty sure it was owned by the Church.. Take a wild guess of what we did.. we planted TREES!! They were also making dulces in the back out of stright milk. They were so Good! I tasted like Fudge but a little different, they were cooking in the biggest pot i have ever seen. We planted so many trees though, I planted like 15 just by myself. Then after we went to the river and took pictures. Fun stuff. The people here are excellent. I can´t speak spanish worth beans but I get by.. I feel humbled every day.. Every time I try and speak with a Dominican. Even just now when I bought some more time on the computer.. I have no clue what they´re saying. But I do know that this mission is for me. There are people here that have been prepared for me. I just need to prepare myself to teach them! Oh yeah.. And I guess I got assigned to be the ward organist! They asked me if I played and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. haha It was so funny, after the Member on the Bishopbric announced the next speaker.. I thought he was telling the congregation what song we were singing next, (bc he announced both) so there I go, I started playing the intermediate hymn while the speaker was walking up. It was so funny.. The whole congregation started laughing. hahaha whoops! One more thing.. You know how in the movies out of nowhere it will just start raining.. like pouring rain. Well I can attest that that really happens. In the middle of sacrament seriously the biggest rainstorm I have ever seen Just BOOM. before you could even blink happened. It rained harder than I have ever seen before in my life. CRAZY RAIN. But it clears in like 10 minutes haha Its funny. Hey. I Promise a longer letter next week. My companion is giving me the look. But really, Don´t worry about me, I´m doing my best to love every moment here, I´m safe because my companion could take anyone who tried to pick a fight with us. The church is true and I´m excited to be a part of this Missionary Wave thats happening. Love you guys!!! Be Safe and.. Righteous!
