Yeah I never got that package...I hope some Dominican girl is enjoying that skirt because I was pretty excited for it. Oh well. Haha
This week has been...HOT. It´s taking me back to my memories of last year entering the mission field. August is the hottest month of the year and honestly we are just trying to make it through. They say the only place that the sun is stronger than the Dominican Republic is in Queensland, Australia. Welp I´ve checked those two places off my list to visit. But I´ve found a new treat to cool off. COCO FRIO. They are coconuts that they keep in a freezer so they take it out, take a macheti to it and stick a straw in and you drink the milk then crack it open and eat the coconut. I love the carribean.
So this week we ran into some opposition. For one, yesterday we got locked out of our bedroom right before a lesson where we had planned to watch the Restoration video. (I have watched that movie a thousand times with investigators and everytime without fail, something happens before to try to stop us. I say that means it's true.) The wind blew the door shut and it locked with our stuff inside...well someone came over to fix it and all is good now but I´ve just learned that if Satan can't get us to stop teaching the gospel, he´ll at least make it difficult.
I also love in Alma when he talks about the eye of faith. I´ve realized that faith is such a simple but powerful thing. If we can see clearly, oursleves in the temple or receiving eternal life, our faith can make it a reality. Anyway I just know God knows us and this is His church.
Love you!
Love
