Jenna McDonald Mission: November 8, 2010

Dear Family,

This week has been great and awesome like usual. Clara and her kids are getting baptized on the 20th of November because her sister is coming out for the baptism form the Dominican Republic! I am super stoked! Still no true contact or explanation from Jose Rojas....bummed about that! Daniel Santos (my sweet little recent convert) is doing great and is hopefully going to the temple here shortly.....I am so thrilled about that of course!!!!!

Life is great! I am loving the mission and I am loving life. Hermana Gallegos and I have loads of fun together, and it is such a treat to serve with her and train her. She is from Miami (well originally Chile) but she can have this little attitude kinda like a black girl....which I am assuming is like her Miami high school that she has told me about! It is so funny! She said that at her high school it was for the most part cubans (which Cubans are very beautiful people) and other Hispanics, and then blacks, and a small percentage of whites and they were mostly rich and Jewish....this was kinda surprising to hear. But she is so sweet and we are doing so well together. I really could just serve with her for the rest of my mission and be so perfectly happy about that!

Well, nothing much is really new this week.....we got a flat tire in the car the other day and low and behold, there was a man in his front yard, right where we had to pull over fixing his own tire. So, he graciously offered to do ours as well...and while he changed it we taught him the restored gospel and he accepted a DVD and a possible return visit! Sweet huh! The Lord really does put us in the most interesting of situations to be continually teaching the gospel! It is wonderful and so great. And the tire just slowly let the air out....it was not even a tire blown out or anything.....really the Lord just wanted for us to talk to that man. It is incredible the way that the Lord protects us!
