Well I have officially been here for 2 weeks! haha it seems like a lot more though! I am learning so so much everyday and it is an incredible feeling to be a servant of the Lord:)
so first off conference was soo amazing! I loved it so much, and needed to hear everything they told us so so much! I loved especially the talks on following the promptings of the Spirit, this is definitely something that I want to work more on, because I know that there are people here in my little town who are being prepared to hear the Gospel its now just up to us to find them! This week we had a really cool experience that I wanted to share. so this week we found a name in our area book, her name is Anita and we felt like we should maybe go and find her, and then that week we got a reference for her so we were like okay we are going to find her! the only problem is that addresses in Puerto Rico are almost non existent... haha not really but it can sometimes be challenging to find houses, most houses have a letter and a number but the letters rarely every cordinate with the streets it is the funniest thing! one side could be letter B and the street across could be H! Anyways so we searched and searched but could not find her house:( BUT then the next day we were walking around the Plaza and we ran into a Recent Convert Cindy and she was like hey come talk to my friend! It turns out that her friend was the girl we had been searching for and so we were able to teach her a little and we have a return appointment! We were to happy! and what was really cool was that Cindy said that she was about to leave but she got the feeling that she should just sit down, and so she did and then she ran into her friend and us! haha anyways Christ is looking out for us:)
Okay funny story! I love the people of Puerto Rico so much, we have gotten so many random things this week and when I tell them im new to the island they are just so nice and I've gotten free ice cream and other things its so funny, the people are so kind! Also yesterday, me and my companion were just sitting down in the Plaza sending in numbers and this guy came up to us and was like "here do you want a conch shell?!" and we were like "uh yeah sure!" he was like "I just fished it out of the ocean!" haha he was a really funny guy and he just sat and talked with us it was so funny!
Also one more funny story, okay so this week our water pressure has been pretty bad and so we called the owner of the house, and he was just like "oh yeah! that usually happens when the island runs out of water!" we were like what?! haha so we asked around and it turns out it actually does happen so we've been like stocking up! haha who knows what will happen but it was just so so funny!
Anyways I hope you all have an amazing week! I love you all dearly and appreciate your emails more than anything! The mission is still hard of course as I knew it would be, but I am learning to rely on the Lord:)
much love,
Hermana Zimmerman:)
