Hey all! This is Levi. Although we didn’t have a service day today, our connection with the community here in Puerto Rico was increased by a similar amount. However, the first thing we had to do was say goodbye to our home for the past week, and move to our new housing closer in San Juan.
After our goodbyes, breakfast, and morning prayers, we headed off to Father Carlos’ church- he’s assisted us through the week helping organize the houses that we help paint. There, we were welcomed by the parish there and were able to play soccer with some of the youth there.
Despite our large age gap, with us being much older than them, the kids there were able to beat us by many goals. (I was able to score one for Team Holy Comforter) After lunch and some socializing with the kids, we were off once more to our next home, where we are currently staying.
It’s a residence with a monk there, who is very nice, and he welcomed us with open arms. However, we didn’t have much time to explore the area, because soon we were off to the beaches in San Juan, which were quite clear and a quite nice temperature. After the beach, we went over to a pizza place nearby and I enjoyed the meal quite a bit.
Next, we went over to Ben & Jerry’s and another beach area (just to take some pictures) and then drove back to our residence.
Thanks,
Levi
