For the next 18 months I will be a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Dominican Republic. Monday, July 28, 2014. I can’t believe that this is my second to last p-day! Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling. i feel normal because nothing has changed yet; just doing the same thing I've been doing for the past 18 months. I do feel like I am starting to get kicked out because missionaries keep asking me to leave them my stuff. I am getting excited to see you all! This quo...

http://snippetsandsnapshots1.blogspot.com/2013/12/shes-coming-home-like-it-or-not.html
Monday, December 16, 2013. She's Coming Home (Like it or Not). So they have little BBQ stands everywhere here. and these BBQ stands sell every body part from the chicken. I have never bought meat from these stands because I have been worried about the implications. But, it was on the bucket list. This last week I ate BBQ chicken head and intestine. The head is surprisingly better than the intestine. Just so you know. . . The time has come the walrus said. We have a baptism on Wednesday! First, I thank my...

Caribbean Trade-Winds: We Got it! :(
http://caribbeantradewinds.blogspot.com/2014/07/we-got-it.html
For the next 18 months I will be a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Dominican Republic. Wednesday, July 2, 2014. Well, the bad news is that we caught Chickungunya. It was horrible! We only were able to go to 20 minutes of church and then decided to leave because Hermana Gingell's fever was too high. I have now missed two Sundays due to Chickungunya. I feel like an inactive missionary! What In The World Is Chikungunya? As of June 17, 80 cases have been reported in 13 s...

For the next 18 months I will be a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Dominican Republic. Monday, July 14, 2014. So you know that awkward moment when someone is walking towards you and you both try to step the same way and then the other way and do that weird side to side dance? Well that keeps happening to me and the stray dogs. We keep doing the awkward trying-to-pass dance. It has now happened three times. It gives my companion so much joy and laughter. Adelide Chris...

http://snippetsandsnapshots1.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 29, 2013. Well, we made it through the first week together! My new Aki, which is child in Bicol and what we call them because right now they are missionary babies. The next day we headed off to training! It was so fun to see old companions and catch up with all the sisters! She is so willing to try everything, the food and everything about the culture. We are having a great time and I love, love training! I hope to train the rest of my mission! I think I have forgotten how much I didn’...
