Hello family!!! I´m just chillin here from the DR trying to stay sane haha jk. But agin HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!! It sounds like you had a good time for your birthday. Batting cages? That´s so Dope!! I bet your getting way good at baseball. I can´t wait to play when i get back. Lol me and my comp made comp pants. They are tan with rubber duck material for the pockets. I´ll come home with them so you´ll be able to see them. Things are going good here in Los Mina. We are going to be having a baptism this saturday. His name is Manolo. He owns a little store called a Colmado. They are little convinience stores in like every corner of this country. It´s what i lived off of when i was out in the campo. But this area isn´t as successful as Los Molinos. But i think i´ve had my fun in the city. I wanna go back out into the campo. You can see the stars out there and it´s a lot cleaner. I´m going to see what prez has to say about that. I know it´s the lord who says it all...but who knows....it might just be where i need to go. Oh for the ward...I miss the ward a lot. You don´t realize how strong our ward is until you come into a 3rd world country where the church has been here for only 40 years. There wards here.....some are way strong...but many struggle. Like in Yamasá there were 30 members going to church and 200 inactives. So keep it up ward. Gives me something to look forward to when i get back. And remember...you have a calling for a reason...to help us grow spiritually in the church. If the lord knew you couldn´t fullfill the calling...he wouldn´t call you. I´m way greatful for you guys and your willing to fullfill your calling. Cause we know how it feels when people don´t haha. But the mission is awesome. A very great experience. I´m learning so much about the gospel and how to better myself. It´s truley humblying being in a 3rd world country. But i love you all. But ya those pictures you sent were perfect. Wow amber and chad look amazing!!! Tell i said that. So fit. I´m very impressed. Things are going good here. But hey i love you guys so much. Stay safe and know that you guys are always in my prayers. Dios Les Bendiga siempre!
