EMAIL CHAT 1/18/12……..

... let me explain to you why it took us a long time to get on..... we don't have a car anymore

Sister Missionaries preached as they walked and walked and walked and walked......

This is a small gist of our week...

1. Our gas went out for cooking and we went and bought one (mini mart) and then tried installing it at night, but for some reason couldn't because there was a leak. So we decided to turn it off and try again.

The next day Hma. Eteaki found that it was broken, so we walked back to the mini mart switched it and now we have been cooking.

2. We had to go to a training meeting for Hma. Eteaki and it was in Guaynabo. We left at 7:45 to head over there. We were on the left side of the right lane driving and Hma. Eteaki was drinking some juice. Yum, Yum and singing to a church cd.... a little ahead of us was traffic.... one note: in PR no one knows the laws, your own ideas are the laws. They don't follow them. Well someone in front of us from the right side of the right lane tried cutting a U-turn on a double yellow line. So lucky us we couldn't brake hard enough to stop and in any direction we went we would have hit someone. There was his car and another on our right side. We hit his side and the juice went flying everywhere. Everyone is okay, we did get whip lash, but from what I know all is okay. It was his first car wreck too (Jessie’s first too) and he was driving to a job interview.  His name is Joshua Vasquez and he had beautiful eyes and very attractive. LOL.... actually everyone was calm and the situation was better than it could have been. Heavenly Father was watching out for all of us. His cousins came over to see him and the police came. We will not be having a car for a month, not because we just crashed, but there aren't any extra cars in the mission to give to us. We have been walking and it's been intense.  The mission that one week had 3 car wrecks and other situations nutz eh..... We ended up getting picked up and went to the meeting.

3. I found rootbeer, which is great because PR it's not common.

4. It's been impossible to find anyone to teach.  I swear I have a missionary curse, even Hma Eteaki is starting to believe it. I come to an area it starts off great, than bam I'm here and all disappear and no success... so not cool

5. We had our first hula class... it went well only 5 came, but hey little by little and the five did great and learned fast. We hope it will become a success....

6. We had another bad, embarrassing moment, but a dear member must have been inspired, but when something happened with our cita, she took us to Baskin Robbins.

(About the accident…..) it was completely his fault. I couldn't have done anything else....  (Jessie didn’t get a ticket or anything.   All is well for her driving record.  J)

I have just 10 minutes left then gotta go.... sorry I couldn't explain more with you. Next week I hope is better and I can talk more with you..... have better positive things... I've wanted to mention about the hula class, visiting teaching and sharing the message of the rest....
