Hello my loving family!!!! How are you guys doing?!! I´m doing good. Things are pretty average here. We had 3 investigators in church yesterday. For this area that´s pretty good. We´re in the process of finding new investigators so we have something to do. I´m trying to send pictures but this computer is struggling grr. It´s been awhile since i´ve sent pictures. I´m very sorry for that. But Dad you´re making your way up the line to be a bishop or something. That would be way crazy. Oh trust me Dad....when i get home i´m going to mow the lawns with pleasure. Actual grass and i can do it bare foot. Something i´ve not been able to do in 11 months. We´re going to walk to the mission office after this internet session to see if i got my package. So fingers crossed. For my birthday me and my comp are going to eat burger king for breakfast lunch and dinner haha. We´re going to get so fat. But i figure it´s my birthday. I should make it special for myself lol. I´m excited for that. Oh a rice belly...it´s what every dominican has. Just tons of pudge...kinda like a beer belly. That´s what rice does to you. Me and my comp are off rice...i wanna go my whole mission without it. Cause i didn´t grow up on this stuff so i don´t need it. Some dominican missionaries have to it eat every day or they don´t feel full. Lol give me panda express!!! LOL. Ya we should probably start doing temple work for our family. I have been thinking about that. Especially the week we got to go the temple. But hey guys things are going great here. I love you guys SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. Stay safe. And give grandma a hug for me aight? Les Amo mas que usted pueden imaginar. Y esto es la verdad.

Hello Family!!!!! Hey things are going good here. I´ll tell you guys about what happened over transfers. So i got call to Los Mina in Ozama. Right next to the capitol. My new comp is named Elder Allen. He´s way chill. My area is a bunch of apartments. It´s a rather poor part of the country. The east mission in this country is the most poor and dirty part of the country. But it´s the highest baptizing so that´s fun. My area is a little slow right now. The people straight up tell us that they don´t wanna talk to us haha. I guess it´s better then saying yes and wasting our time. But it´s kinda frustrating tho. We have a good amount of investigators but none of them wanna go to church. That´s also way frustrating. Cause if they don´t go to church they aren´t progressing and they can´t get baptized. So we´re going to try to stress about going to church and see what happens. What i eat here...lol it´s not rice and beans. I gave that crap up. It gives you a rice belly. I eat PBandJ´s and raviolis and spaghetti. I´m still healthy and what not. But i have lost a little more weight. But it´s cool...i´ll just come home all cut lol. It sounds like you guys are all doing good. Sounds normal around there. That´s good to hear. Don´t let things get too crazy up in there. But ya i don´t really have anything more exciting to write. But i´m doing good and healthy. I love you guys so much and i want you cause to take care. Be safe aight? Love ya

So i am going to explain to you guys how hard satan is working against missionary work. So we had this family all ready to go to get married and baptized this last weekend. The last weekand of the transfer. So everything was all ready to go. Then the night before the marriage the oldest daughter got super sick and was puking everywhere. So they took her to the hospital. So they didn´t get married or baptized this transfer. And i´m leaving to head to the zone of Ozama tomorrow. So we got 2 baptisms this last transfer. And i´m leaving 7 set baptisms. But it´s what´s supposed to happen. I was going to send you guys pictures of the 2 baptisms today. But the computer i´m using is really crappy haha. So it´ll have to be next week. But i had two very fun transfers with Elder Mercado. We both agreed that it was our best two transfers on the mish so far. We celebrated eating until we could barely walk haha. It was pretty awesome. But my new comp is Elder Allen. I´ve met the kid already. He´s way cool. The area is a little harder but i´ll make due. I´m just ready to go where ever the lord wants me to. I could´ve stayed in this area for two more transfers if i needed to. The ward is way strong and i have some friends here. Haha Dad we´ll have to play some bob marely music. One time we road in a bus from Yamasá to villa mella and all the radio played was bob marely. It was so chill. Hey Mom you better be ready to go to the temple like everyday when i get back. That place is the best in the world. Awh beccas going back to her own kind. Lol just kidding peer tutor was the best class i had. Those are really special people. I would except that calling in a heart beat. I can´t wait to see all those pictures and see how everyone looks. I´m way excited for that. But hey guys i love you guys so much. You don´t even know!!! Stay safe and i´ll do the same :)

Ya i´m sorry i´m slacking on the whole sending pictures home to you guys. I only have one pic to send of the last baptism. He´s 18 years old. He´s pretty dope. Hey we should jam when i get back Dad. You can play the drums and i´ll play my ukelele haha. We´ll have to mike it. Hey ya i saw elder rich the other day when we went to the temple. But i totally forgot to ask him. He´s in the group 2 under me. He´s friends with my firend Elder Sunderhaus who i´m living with. (Four man house) He seemed cool. Lol i´m staying healthy Dad. Just so i don´t get the crud kicked outta me. We hit up burger king today. I ate a douple wopper. So good!!! I dunno...i don´t need anything else other then that. But suprise me. That´d be cool. Like it´s actually my birthday. That´d be cool. Ya it´s pretty crazy to thing i´ll be 20. I still feel like i´m 18. And i look like it too haha. I´ll grow up physically but in my heart i´ll still be 16. In a good way. Not the immature way lol. Hey i love you too mom. I probably don´t say that enough. But i canñt wait to give you THE biggest hug for like 20 mins. I´ll smell really bad cause i was in the DR for two years but it´s just something that you´ll have to deal with ;) Wow i´m very impress and like freaking out about that story you told me that i´m not supposed to say anything about so i´m pretty much writing in code cause nobody knows what i´m saying right now. Muhaha!!! Things are going good here. We have transfers on tuesday so we´ll see what happens here. We´re riding on that family getting baptized at the last second. So we´ll see what happens. I love you guys SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. I miss you guys a ton. But i´m also enjoying myself out here. So things are going good. Peace and love. Me voy a regresar bien pronto. Preparanse por esto. Porque Soy locisimo oiste? Oiste? ja ja ja

Hey i´ve seen the best 2 years. That was a good movie. At the end of the movie he finally speaks like fluently. That´s a funny one. Hey very sorry that i didn´t write on monday because we got to go to the temple today :) I felt the spirit so strong today. So we had to change our P-Day to today. I wanted to write you guys and tell you but i couldn´t. And we didn´t find out til after last P-Day. Ya i think you guys understand. But i don´t remember what i wrote you guys last week. It has been a week and a half. But so far we only have 1 baptism this transfer. But we´re marrying a family and baptizing them. The family has 5 that can get baptized. So that should be a way cool experience. We had a sweet family home evening on temples. We watched a movie and bore our testimonies. It made me appreciate that we got sealed in the temple and we can be together forever!!! This last week was pretty good. Hahaha i totally remember hinding behind the door and watching tv when you guys told me to go to bed. Lol be battled pretty good didn´t we? Man oh man good times!!! Oh my birthday...that´s right. I want tons of pictures!!! And if you can find my long sleeve Réal Salt Lake soccer jersey. It´s somewhere in my pile of junk. If you can´t find it that´s fine. Don´t stress it. But i want pictures of everyone...amber, chad, the boys, lindsay, brian...everyone. Pictures are the best things i´ve ever recieve out here. I think i´m still just under 6 foot. But ni don´t really know cause there´s no way to measure myself without killing a goat.....just kidding...but seriously. Kenna your shoes sound DOPE!!! I wanna see em. Send a picture in my birthday package :) Wow beccas got her license. I´m impressed. Look out Utah!!! Lol jk...but seriously. Sounds like things are going pretty good there. Same here.
