Week 23 - June 19, 2023

This one was a good one!  There's a chance this was my last full week in Barahona, transfers are this Friday and I get news on where I'm going (or if I'm staying) tomorrow night or Wednesday night, so I'm excited for that.  A lot of cool stuff happened, so let me tell you!

Barahona
Last Monday, we had a luau (I think that's how you spell it) for Zone P-day, where we buried a bunch of food for like three hours and then ate it, it was super good.  Then for the rest of the week we had good lessons with a lot of people. 

On Thursday, we went to the temple, which was great.  Always a good time to visit the House of the Lord, and to feel his Spirit.  I sure did learn a lot of really cool things as well.
 

There was one lesson we were teaching where I was attacked by a demon!  Not actually, but almost.  I was talking about faith when suddenly I look to my left and see this huge wasp-dragonfly-thing looking creature flying towards my face.  I show my confidence by letting out some war-cries (not screams of fear, trust me), and it flew away.  They called it a "caballito," which scared me even more because that means "little horse."  Bruh.  If you call a bug a horse, that's not ok. Crazy stuff. 

Today, we went up to "the shack," which is this tiny little house that's at the top of the mountain.  You can see it from all over the area.  Of course, when we got there the view was amazing.  We could see all of Barahona! Super cool, I always enjoy a good hike. 

That's about it for this week. I'm still finding a lot of joy from this work, which is good.  Thank you all for your support, love you, and talk to you later!
