Today was transfers and I am in a new area and have a new companion, Elder Perry from Utah. I miss my old companion, Elder Wardell. Guess you don’t know what you have until it is gone.
We are getting a new schedule to help us be able to contact more families. We wake up at 5:30 to exercise. Leave the house at 7 to go work. Come back around 10 and have personal study, comp study, language study, lunch and get this -- because we are waking up early we get to take nap time from 2-3!!! President said so!!! hahah We are teaching a Dominican family. There are 5 people: dad, mom and three children. pretty cool people. right now they are our only concrete investigators. they are reading the book of Mormon and are hopefully coming to church this next Sunday. (they siad they would this past sunday and didn’t) Dominicans are really humble but not very reliable. not saying that in a bad way, just an honest way. We also helped a man fix his fishing net. kept on making references to "fishers of men" for like an hour. Other than that, just working on my tan line from my watch
The people in Puerto Rico live simple, happy lives. All the houses are square concrete huts but they have what makes them happy inside their houses…... ps3's, lambos, food, and their family. We contacted a run down shack that had a hummer in the driveway, lambo in the garage and a jag just sitting outside. crazy kids! I always ask people in my contacts what the purpose of this life is. Why are we here on the earth. Adam fell that men(us) might be. so we are here because of Adam, and men are here that we might have joy. So essentially do stuff that gives you joy!
One last thought before I sign off……………….i got bit by 1000 ants when I was cutting this lady's yard the other day.
Con amor,
Elder Scroggins
