Holaaa mis queridos amigos! This week was so so fast, they just keep getting faster in the mission! This week: ☆the big convo going around this week was the big 6.3 earthquake, first time experiencing one! Literally just brushing my teeth lookin out the window then next thing i know everythings shaking, soo wierd. It actually was a ton stronger in the coast tho, pic below! ☆intercambios with one of my past comps hna Xivir! ☆had an adventure in a pueblo in my area called el esfuerzo! Waited 45 minutes for the bus to come, we had an hour and a half lesson, then had to wait another hour for the bus to come again to bring us back to SD ☆saw an iguana in the wild ☆ate crab for the first time with our favorite member and WOW i think crab is one of my new favorite foods ☆two of my bestie little girls yesterday in church, Valentina and Gladys, begged me to stay and Santo Domingo and live with them the rest of my life haha, i told them i can't do that but maybe i can stay here in this area ...

Holaaa mis queridos!! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter remembering our Savior! This weeks recap: -exchanges with the hermanas in la Concordia with hna Tischner (aka one of my new best friends) and let me just say, two white girls in the dangerous parts of my area...not a good idea -reached almost all of our goals this past week and found SO many escogidos and only 1 person came to church for Easter, definitely not the result i was hoping to have -when we went to la Concordia to start exchanges and finally got to ride my first mototaxi -got to do the Easter studies every day this week and wowww it made it so incredibly special! -as for the title of this email, we just went to the part lf our area called "Cristo Vive" or "Christ lives" on the day that he resurrected so i thought that was kinda cool!! SPIRITUAL: Ok this week i honestly just want to share my testimony! I'm so grateful for this Easter to have been able to serve this Lord with all my might and stre...

HELLOOO my wonderful friends and family! The life of Hermana Jones in Santo Domingo just got a whoooole lot more interesting so we're getting right to it! Today I'm gonna write this by day of what happened because just so many eventful things that went down Monday: traveled to Quito, went to an appointment with the mission presidents wife, then waited in the offices to receive transfers, opened transfers in front of President and me and hermana friend SCREAMED and literally jumped out of our seats when we saw we're training AGAIN!!! (We even have video proof) Tuesday: leadership council and helping the other hermanas get ready for transfers and traveling Wednesday: started off the day with a great start, we go to the terminal in Carcelen and get the other hermanas in the bus and while they're sitting in the bus waiting a guy comes in a robs them, her phone and her money and her card, and they hadn't even left to go to the concordia yet...sometimes i hate ecuador wit...

Quote of the week: "dude everyones been giving up jugo de naranja and its been the best fetchin week of my life"-bestie Elder Ford in the bus today on the way to Quito -Learned something new this week! When theres an old pair of sneakers hanging from the telephone lines it means that someone nearby sells drugs...there's old sneakers hanging on nearly every corner in our area...but don’t worry guys I LOVE THIS AREA and nothing bad has happened to me yet -have you guys seen the studio C, 7 guys on a scooter video?? Ya saw that yesterday but in real lifelegitimately saw 7 people packed on a little motorcycle...oh how i love Santo Domingo -ROSITAS BAPTISM! Shes just amazing and testified that just a little act of service when she met the missionaries (2 days before i got here to Santo Domingo) is what changed her life and said how...
