All of the members on the entire island are getting together because the Prophet is coming to speak to us

Some cool street art
Well last week was pretty sick, but this one was even better. We honestly had such a fun time this week. Especially since I haven't had to do any whitewashing at all. To start off, however, this Sunday all of the members on the entire island are going to get together because the Prophet is coming to speak to us. Everyone's going to meet in the coliseo de Puerto Rico, and we live so close to it that we don't even need to drive. We'll see how that goes though, because the last time a member of the 12 came, we got hit with a level five hurricane. Everyone out here is super excited.

The rest of the week was.. well.. pretty eventful. I don't even know where to start. We got offered Dominican wives. We were talking with this older lady, and she told us that she's going to be our suegra. Then she pulled out her phone and started showing us pictures of all her granddaughters, and told us to take our pick. It was pretty funny.

We also came up with the coolest language study ever. We went to one of the college campuses out here and basically started telling stories to everyone. We'd go to a busier area and stay super close to each other while we asked different groups of people if we could share stories with them. We told them we were Americans trying to work on our Spanish, and asked them if they could correct some of our mistakes while we told a story to them. It was actually super fun, and now we're starting to become way good friends with a bunch of the college students. I swear some of the people out here are the chillest people ever.

We played some dominoes with all of the veterans at this veterans hospital out here as well. One of our members here is in the hospital, and we've made best friends with like all the other guys in there as well. We'll go in to visit him, and everybody knows us. Playing dominoes with a bunch of veterans is so fun.

To finish of the week we ended up painting this guys house, and getting pretty sun-burnt. Then we just got fed to death. I swear I think we only had one lesson that day where we were not fed. When we were actually going into our dinner appointment we were so full, we were thinking about making ourselves throw-up so we'd be able to eat. I'd rather be super full then starving though, so it wasn't that bad.
