Well I did end up getting transfered to a new area
this week. I got sent to a place called Dajabon, on the border of Haiti
more or less close to the northern shore of the island. My area literally goes
up to the river between the DR and Haiti so I can see another country from my
area. It took about 3 hours to get out here from Santiago so I am about as far
away from the rest of the missionaries as possible. Everyone has told me that
it is hot as can be in Dajabon ,but so far it has rained everyday since I got
here. The house here is absolutely terrible. The electricity and water
goes out a lot so that is bucket loads of fun. Speaking of buckets, when there
is water, the pressure isn´t good enough for the shower to work so I have to bucket
shower everynight now. Four missionaries live in the house, one
from Mexico, another from Argentina and my comp is from Guatemala. I am his
"step dad" of the mission because he just barely finished his
training with his "dad". His name is Elder Gonzalez. The area seems
ok. It feels like it is a little bit dead haha so there is definitely a lot of
work for me here. It is a branch so that was kinda weird to get used to again
having such a small amount of people in church. We do have some really
solid investigators so I am optimistic about the future. Our area is really big
again just like my last one. There are a lot of Haitians here and a good
portion of them do not speak Spanish very well. I would try and learn Creole
but it is the weirdest language I have ever seen so I don´t think that will
happen. I am still learning the area and getting to know the members and
investigators. I hope that all is well back home. I love you all!
Good luck with everything!
