Buenos dias!
It´s
been a great week here! We found Yudi and Yesenia! Yesenia has been
really busy with a new job that she started, and she´s been pretty sick,
so that´s why we haven´t been able to find her. But now things have
slowed down, and she came to church on Sunday! She´s doing well and her
fionce comes to the DR next month, and they´re hoping to get married
pretty soon after! We found Yudi yesterday, and she was glad to see us!
We were really worried that she didn´t want to talk to us anymore, but
it´s just that she´s been really depressed because her boyfriend left
for Germany for a while. But we found our little sheep and they´re doing
good! We sure love those too.
So, the wedding
didn´t happen yesterday. President Buret (branch president) felt that he
was pushing them to get married and doing everything for them, so he´s
letting them go at their pace so that it can be there decision. We
talked to Juana this week and she still wants to get married, so we´re
hoping that it will happen soon!
We are the
first and second counselors in the Young Women presidency, and we´ve
been working with the president to start having mutual activities. We
had our first one this Saturday. It was called a P afternoon, and we had
the girls wear their pijamas, we watched a pelicula (Johnny Lingo), we
ate panqueques (pancakes) and had jugo de pera (pear), and palomitas
(popcorns, it literally means little doves. how cute!). We were going to
work on Personal Progress too, but we ran out of time. But a lot of
girls came and they really enjoyed it. Our YW president loved it too,
and now she´s really excited to start having mutual every week. She even
planned for us to all visit one of the Young Women who hadn´t gone to
church on Sunday. I really think mutual is going to help strenthen these
Young Women´s testimonies and to help them become better friends!
A Day in the DR:
The
funniest thing has been happening to me lately. Hermana Hunsaker and I
will be walking in the streets, and a random man will come up to me with
the biggest smile on his face, take my hand in his, and just smile at
me. Sometimes he will say hello and ask how I am, and sometimes he just
gives me the biggest, happiest smile, and then walks away! haha He won´t
even look at Hermana Hunsaker! That´s happened three times! It´s so
funny.
I hope everyone is doing well! Have a wonderful week!
Hermana Jorden
