The source of information and communication with Sister Madeline Thelin of the Puerto Rico, San Juan mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Hola a todos!
En la semana de Pasqua (Easter) espero que ustedes pueden sentir la amor de nuestros Salvador y Redentor Jesucristo tan fuerte. We worked our 110% to get as many investigators into church this week as possible because literally everyone goes to church during Pasqua. We had so many menos activos and friends of family en iglesia it was crazy. I wish church was like this every week with the capilla bastante llena.
Here’s a chisme (joke) for all my Spanish speaking friends. if you don’t get it, don’t worry about it. It doesn’t make sense in English really.
?Porque Nefi y su familia no muerten en la deserto? Porque Lehi estableció su tienda.
Hermanas Thelin and Tingey have a conversation over dinner in their apartment about their teaching pool and life in the mission.
Hola a todos!
Es un buena dia aquí en Carolina! No tenemos lluvia y tenemos mucho comida en la nevera para comer. Estoy contento.
<Translation from Google: “It’s a good day here in Carolina! We do not have rain and we have a lot of food in the fridge to eat. I am happy.”>
After the baptism, Hermanas Thelin and Tingey talk about the even as they drive back to their apartment.
Note that they don’t have a car and using it was likely due to the baptism.
Hola a todos!
It’s getting harder and harder to go between Spanish and English. Let me tell you. Wow.
We were in Viejo San Juan today for an Actividad de Zona and I had the hardest time talking to the toursitas. Not that I’m a Boriquen now, it’s just thinking in two languages takes So. Much. Energy. I can definitely feel el don del linguas en mi vida.
Hola a todos!
First things first, let me tell you this: I am still in Carolina with my same companion. I know I know, you’ll just have to wait until the next transfer to see if I go anywhere more ‘exotic’. So, it looks like I’ll be here for probably one of the most exciting days of my life!
Hola a todos!
Wow why do I never seem to have time to email you all? I hope you’re getting a little piece of my life when I email. I’m trying to actually write things that you guys might care about.
This week we had splits with the hermanas entrenador. I don’t know what to call them in English, but they’re so sweet! I left my area to go visit Trujillo Alto for a day. I worked in a few caseríos and got to meet a bunch of really sweet people with some really hard lives. If you don’t already know, caserios are governemnt owned buildings in groups. I can only really relate it to The Projects. Don’t worry though, i’m being safe. 🙂
Madeline’s current area is Carolina, a suburb of San Juan.
Hola a todos!
I seem to be having less and less time to write everybody nowadays, but here’s a little blurb for my day.
