Yet another absolutely amazing week. It was definitely interesting as well. On Sunday, I wouldn't be surprised if more tourists showed up to church than actual members that live here. The entire back rows of the chapel were just filled with gringos that were visiting.

Highlight of the week would definitely have to be our Old San Juan day. So normally we don't go out to Old San Juan cause there's not too much work to do out there (it's where all the tourists are). But we met a couple people that lived out there so we decided to make the trip, and did not regret it at all. We met so many cool people. We also got to check out a neighborhood called La Perla that's super famous out here. It's where they shot the music video for Despacito. It get's even better though. On our way back to the bus stop, two American couples visiting from Utah drove by. About five minutes later, they drove by again and pulled over to invite us out to dinner. We ended up eating the most fancy and amazing tasting Mofongo I've ever had out in Old San Juan while telling them all about Puerto Rico.

We also got one of the most intense soccer games going in the mud with a bunch of little kids out in a cacerio out here. It was so fun, and we didn't even have as much fun as the kids. That game probably made their entire week. They were so happy after. Right after we went to one of our appointments right next to the game we had, and the person we were working with said it was so cool to see everyone having fun out there with us.
The gospel is honestly the roadmap of how to be happy here in this life, and in the life to come. Us as missionaries not only get to have fun with the kids and people out here every once in a while, but we get to share the joy and the happiness that living the gospel brings literally every single day. There is nothing I would rather be doing now than strengthening the families and sharing the glad tidings of the gospel with the people out here in Puerto Rico.
