Well, the supposed storm that was going to hit didn't turn out to be much more than a little rain and wind. However, it somehow still managed to knock out the power in part of Mayaguez. It didn't affect us at all though. Matter of fact, we had an awesome week.
To start off, I think I figured out why our power always seems to go out. So after Hurricane Maria, a lot of the power lines got totally damaged. The problem is that it seems like nobody out here knows how to fix any of them. We walked out of our apartment the other day and we saw them "working on the lines." I kid you not, they were just hitting the power line with a hammer and some sort of chisel thing. Then they just left the cut in half power line laying down onto the sidewalk. As to what they fixed, I have absolutely no idea.
We did, however, have some pretty sick lessons. We even got to teach one of our members' mom over skpye. He's the one that goes out with us all the time. He started telling his mom about the church, but she lives in the states. The missionaries over there started to visit her, and he wanted us to be able to have a lesson with her, so we all got around his phone and did a video call to teach her a lesson.
One of our investigators also sent us a text saying he know the Book of Mormon is true. He sent in in really really broken english though, so we'll have to see if that's what he meant to say. He's the one that is from Peru and currently trying to get his masters degree. He's always way to busy to meet with, but he's finally going to present his thesis this Wednesday so he should be pretty free after that. I think it's so funny when people try to talk to us in English, but they have absolutely know idea how to really speak English. Believe it or not, it's always the drunk dudes out in the streets that know the English. For some reason, they're always the ones to know it perfectly.
We also got to check out the campo out here. One of our members was driving us to an appointment, but he ended up going the complete opposite way. We ended up driving for like an hour and a half through the middle of the jungle. Then we had a zone activity out in San Sebastian on P-day and we got hike to some waterfalls which was super dope. I can officially say I have swung through the jungle on a vine now.
