Back together with comp in Puerto Rico right before I left to come to Dominica

English Class students
Well it's been a pretty crazy week with a ton of driving with all the airport trips. My old companion Elder Segura flew back out to Puerto Rico this last Saturday. My new companion, however, flew into the island last Thursday. We didn't know who it was going to be until he walked off the plane, and I was super surprised to see that it was Elder Jones. He was my companion back in Puerto Rico right before I left to come to Dominica. We're back together for my last couple of weeks out here, and it's going to be super sweet.

In these past couple of days though, Elder Jones has got quite the welcome to the island. We had a crazy guy crash our business class. He kept calling me Jerry and would not leave. He started trying to eat our food from the kitchen and to drink our water. During the class, he was going off about how he needed fifteen million dollars so he could take over the world. The day before that while we were exercising at the park a baby bull tried to charge us. Then after having getting yelled at by someone telling us Jesus was black even though we hadn't even said anything to him, we got yelled and threatened to "Leave this place! Get out!" by some Dominican after coming out from a lesson. We also headed out to go pull out our money for some food, the phone bill, and the house's power bill. The ATM malfunctioned and ended up eating my card without giving me any money. The bank was closed at the time, and we were told I'd be able to get it back in two days when the manager comes into work. When we went in to go retrieve the card later on, they told us they destroyed all the cards. So we had a huge hassle with that, and we have to wait a while before all those funds transfer over, and I can get a new card. So hopefully we won't need to much money any time soon.

Anyways, that's been our life recently. We've been trying to sort all those messes out. We have been able to find some cool people recently as well. We have been very busy with all the trips and other work we've been having to do recently as well though.
