Part member families that have been super willing to listen and learn

Nachin - an awesome member who moved to Oregon

Well it was finals week at the university out here. Which meant that we couldn't bring any members that were students out to lessons with us. We couldn't really get into contact with any of the other students either. Everyone was just studying and testing. The semester out here has been pretty crazy cause of hurricane Maria. The students got such a long time off of school because, well, they didn't have any power or anything. However, that just meant the rest of the school year was going to be super crammed. Watching all these other students taking finals just does not get me excited for college.

We'll see how the summer goes out here. It seems like everyone we talk to is heading back to stay with their family on other parts of the island for the summer. Hopefully there is still a decent amount of college students that stay.

As far as the week goes, it was pretty normal. I mean I say normal, but it was actually probably a pretty crazy week. The more and more I do the work out here, the more normal it seems. We talk to way to many crazy people every single day on the streets. You just get used to it though. I could probably have a conversation with someone talking about how aliens are coming to take over the earth, and completely forget about it in five minutes.

We've been trying to focus a lot of our finding efforts through less actives as well. Which has been going awesome. We've recently found some part member families that have been super willing to listen and learn. We even found one family that is way into fishing that said they'd be down with feeding us a big fish dinner or something every week. That got me pretty excited.

I can't complain about P-day either. We didn't get to go a crazy beach or swing through the jungle on vines or anything. That's alright though. We went over to the university and played some basketball for a while.

The Assistants to the President and one of the senior missionaries were also down in our area so they took us out to a bakery out here for lunch which was so good. I also had like almost all of the staff in the grocery store helping me look for something. I didn't know what the name of something was in spanish or where to find it, so I just asked if they had it in english. Which led to them talking to every single other person that worked there. The entire grocery store knew that I was looking for something and everybody was bringing me to a bunch of random different products. It was pretty funny. Turns out they didn't have it. Puerto Ricans just don't give up though. They try everything possible to help you out.
