I absolutely love working with the people out here!

Zone Conference at El Moro

We had an awesome week, followed up with an awesome zone activity at El Moro! I also don't think I've ever eaten so much in my life. I have been full from the start of the week all the way up until the end of the week. There was one day where we were fed five separate times in the evening. We were going from one dinner appointment to the next. I can't really complain about that though, cause it's a heck of a lot better than being hungry.

The work out here is going so great though, and it is honestly such a blast. I absolutely love working with the people out here. I've met some of the nicest people and coolest families. We have this one lady in our ward from Mexico that makes us a big Mexican dinner every Sunday, and it's like the best thing ever. We've also been working with this one Dominican family for the longest time ever, and they were finally able to make it out to church this Sunday. Not only that, but they absolutely loved it. I love teaching them, and learning all about their culture. For some reason like all of the Dominican grandmas out here have like 20 siblings. In her particular case, she said she had 25 brothers and sisters, and me and my comp were absolutely blown away by that. There is this other lady we met the other day that had great, great grandkids and was not only still alive, but only looked like she was about 40 years old. It's funny cause the more and more I've been out here in Puerto Rico though, the more and more Boriqua I feel. All the crazy different things that they do out here that isn't done in the states doesn't even phase me anymore. Overall great week though. I'm loving every second of being out here in San Juan!

General Conference Weekend

Old San Juan

Yet again I forgot my planner with notes on everything we did this week. We got absolutely spoiled this week though! There's a new senior couple that just came into the mission, and they got assigned to our district. They've been treating us sooo nice though. They invited us over to watch general conference for the weekend and it was so awesome. They fed us, had snacks, and we got to watch conference in a nice air conditioned house with a couch. Ever since the hurricane, they got rid of all the couches in the missionary apartments, so getting to chill on a couch all day is probably the most amazing thing that could have happened to me.

General Conference with the Flake's

Not only that, but we found out that they're going to build a temple in San Juan, Puerto Rico! All of the members are going absolutely crazy. They've been waiting to get a temple for years, and they finally announced it! Every time general conference comes around, everyone always talks about when Puerto Rico is finally going to get a temple, and now we're getting one.

Besides that though, we had a pretty normal week. We did a bunch of service, and talked to a lot of people. Favorite part besides conference was probably the lesson we had with a Dominican family and one of their gringo friends. The gringo spoke practically no Spanish, and the Dominicans spoke practically no English. I have no idea how they even communicated with each other. The dinner we had with them was the funniest thing ever, cause we were having two completely different conversations the entire night, and we got to mess with them the whole time cause we were the only people that understood everything.
