PB&Js in Santo Domingo

This week was pretty great. Today we played soccer and ecua-volley with the other missionaries in the stake center. It was raining slightly so the weather was perfect as we were playing. Ecua-volley is 3 on 3 volley ball and the net is a bit higher and it is played with a soccer ball instead of a volleyball. So it hurts really bad when you have to smack the ball. But it was super fun being with the other missionaries and playing sports.

Last week we bought Peter Pan peanut butter and some jelly. I showed Elder Astuñaupa the PB&J which is a staple of American food. He liked it so much that later in the week we made the quadruple sandwich. Very tasty and we are proud of it.

Training is pretty difficult. All missionaries want to train and open a sector like we are doing here but man it can be difficult. I think I am putting too much pressure on myself because I want us to have a ton of success and be a perfect trainer and that is not what God expects of me. I have to remind myself of that because sometimes I stress myself out thinking about things outside of my control. 

Also Santo Domingo was super hot this weekend. Holy cow I was dying from the sun and humidity. But that is part of the mission but I kinda missed being in Quito.

I am really excited for Conference this weekend because it is always great and in the mission it is the best. 

The mission is so fast, even when there are difficult times I never have a slow day. Every time I go to write the family I always am a little surprised that that time has come. 

Thank so much for the letters you write me.

Love y'all so much,

Elder Tucker
