We had an awesome start to the week, and finished it off even better with a visit from one of the 12 Apostles. Elder Christofferson came down for the weekend, and he met with all of the missionaries on Saturday and then with our stake on Sunday. It was super cool to be able to meet with him, and the spirit that was felt there was so strong.

One of the people we've been teaching named Edward was able to make it out to the meeting with him on Sunday. We've been teaching him for a while now, and our last lesson was about Apostles and Prophets. Edward is a super smart guy in his twenties, and is always asking the most deep questions while paying attention to every single word we say when we answer him. We mentioned, that an Apostle of the Lord was coming to visit Puerto Rico and he got super excited. He wanted to go really bad, and during the meeting on Sunday he pulled out his phone and was taking as many pictures as he could of Elder Christofferson. It's funny, cause that's not really a thought that runs through most of our heads when we see an Apostle. It made me think about

how truly lucky we are to be able to listen to living Apostles and Prophets. That was an understanding that Edward had, but that many of us take for granted. We are so blessed to be able to have that guidance and instruction from God in our lives, and we should always strive our best to heed to their council.

Apart from the awesome weekend, we had some other cool things happen as well. We set up a Family Home Evening night with a bunch of Dominicans in one of our areas. It turned out being super fun. We all got together and played a bunch of dominoes while eating Mangu.

We were also got a little bit lost one day while we were trying to get to one of our lessons. We were talking to this Dominican guy though trying to get directions. He decided to just give us a ride in his truck, and I swear we almost crashed like 5 times. He had absolutely no idea where he was going at all, but I finally recognized the area and started to try to tell him were to go. We ended up just stalling in the intersection and almost crashing a few more times. By some miracle though, we finally ended up making it to our appointment alive. We probably won't be hitching any more rides from crazy Dominicans for a while though.
