HELLO WORLD!!! I made it to Puerto Rico!! and holy cow I LOVE IT!!
So I left the DR on tuesday and traveled to PR! It was a super short flight and to be honest I slept the whole time, but I doubt anyones surprised by that! so then when we got off the plane and got all our luggage we got out of the terminal and met the smarts! The puerto rico mission president and his wife! theyre so amazing and I barely know them but I love them already!! so we went to their house and had orientation! then we headed to the nearby chapel to go meet out trainers! so when we got there we met our trainers and mine is Hermana Cordova! she served her 1st 10 months in LA cause of the hurricane! she just came over to PR 4 weeks ago! so were both kinda new! so we are serving in an area on the tippy south east corner of PR called Fajardo! so there is one set of sisters in our area and one set of elders! so we got to our apartment and we live in a cute apartment right across the street from the church! and we have alot on our plates! We teach a book of mormon class on Tuesday night and are in charge of sports night on Friday and we just help out a lot to keep the members active! Its super fun and I love it! So we have taught alot of awesome people this week and I just feel so blessed to be here! The members are amazing!!
SO! the spanish.... well I can understand quite a bit... but speaking is hard cause I havent gotten a hold of the way they phrase their sentances! so I honestly just listen alot.. (I know thats a shocker right??) but no seriously I listen ALOT... like people think im a quiet person its kinda weird! so anyway I know itll come with time!! Its just hard cause I wanna talk to EVERYONE BUT I CANT!!
ALSO!! there are SO MANY IGUANAS HERE!! and its so sad cause roadkill here isnt like roadkill in AZ... its usually iguanas which is so sad! I think theyre the coolest thing ever! Ill try to send a pic! so yeah thats life here! just serving and teaching and trying to comprehend spanish! its super fun I love it!
xoxox your fav boricua Hermana Gray!!
