I got to see all the sessions in Spanish, which is still not as good as seeing them in english because its not exactly the same if it isnt their voices. However the two talks in spanish were great! no translation needed. We saw four sessions and a half. The Priesthood session got cut when the power went out due to the rain. We're probably going to download it and listen to it in English in the mornings while we're getting ready, along with all the other sessions, the sessions that are in Spanish we're going to leave as they are. Conference talks are best in their original language, and as long as we understand them it's better without a translator.
We're still in rain season. the other week we were walking in one of the further parts of our aria on our way to a dinner that a member invited us to. It was raining pretty hard. We took a turn at El Colegio Albonor to go down a familiar street- however, the street had been replaced with waters of the Red Sea... We weren't sure where all the water came from, but it sure as heck wasn't going to get between us and food. the water was a little higher than my knees, it didn't stop the bus 85 though. the bus plowed right through making very large waves the we climbed up windows to avoid. I was a whole lot of fun.
The other week it was raining so we went to the church to get dry for a little bit. When we left, was witnessed a car take a sharp turn and lodge itself onto a divider in an intersection. He got enough speed onto that thing to get is front tires up in the air making it so that he couldn't back the car off. Despite the hard rain we went over to help them out. A Motorcycle Cop showed up about the same time we did, and together we pushed the car off the divider and they were able to drive away. The cop then said "Hey Elders! Have you had dinner yet?" We said no. He said "Well if you aren't busy meet me at that restaurant down the road and I'll buy dinner" We said "well......OK!"
We found out that he's a member from Santo Domingo (which is a city out by Buena Fe) and that he just recently got reactivated buy the Elders out there. However, due to his job he hasn't been able to talk to them lately. We invited him to the General Conference and he gave us his number and told us to call him if we needed anything.
Other rain stories are just us getting a wole bunch of wet.
We've been working pretty hard. We're been staying as healthy a possible.
To answer moms question from the other week: We do not take anything for paracites. But we do drink Coke, which I like to think helps.
I got my camera to come back alive, I wont buy a new one until it dies completely. The good news is that I recovered my pictures from 2014. The bad news is that I think I lost all my pictures from 2015 in the process... I just can't win. I'm going to use a little cash from home to buy a pendrive because I don't trust my pictures on the card.
Everything here is going great! It's not easy but I've discovered that I've gotten used to that. I hope all is well back home. I'll keep you posted.
Love you all!
