Letter 8/20/2013 -- I am SO GLAD that the house sold!! I have been praying fervently for that to work out! That is a big relief. I am also so amazed that you guys are already up there in Banner Elk, exploring the sites! Not to mention that school has started... I have a feeling that you and Dad might get roped into getting that Scouting program going... just saying. haha. If you think about it, send me pics as you get the house all sorted out and furnished. I can´t wait to see it all lived-in looking. That´s so cool about the boys and their MacBook homework. I´ve been thinking that I will probably go Mac next time, myself. Then they can help me. haha.
Things are going well here in Tamboril- my companion and I are having lots of fun and really good lessons. I have set a goal for myself to read all of the standard works before I go home, starting now. We went to the doctor today to check out Hermana Bates´s ankle. She had chikungunya a month or two ago, and it leaves you with joint pain, for up to a year or two in some cases. She´s really active though, so I think it will work itself out in a couple of months. We also went to the store in Santiago, since we were there. It was nice to be able to buy normal things... that is, if you consider a gallon of yogurt to be normal. haha.
This week really flew by for me, so I don´t have any new pictures, but I will repent and send something interesting next week. We were supposed to go to Nagua today, up to a beach near Samaná. (There are whales in Samaná!) We will now be going on the 3rd of next month, but Moca went today. I miss some of my friends from my old zone, but Hermana De La Cruz still calls me from time to time to tell me how crazy everyone is behaving. haha. It´s so cool to make friends with people from all over the world. I´m glad things like Facebook exist, so we can keep in touch after, too. Not to mention keeping in touch with investigators and converts. I´m so grateful for technology.
Well, I guess that´s it for big news from the DR, but I hope you are all having an excellent week! Another report is coming soon!!
Hermana Harden
