Hey sorry Dad for not answering all your questions. Just tons of things start rushing through my head when i get to writing and i don't always write everything that was in my mind. What do you wanna know? We don't have fresh milk here....it tastes fake. Here where i live we have 24 7 electricity. Not in the capitol though. Things are just normal here. Ya i won't be released from being a missionary if you guys come pick me up so we'll just meet in the airport esta bien? So last time i kept a medical secret from you guys mom called me a brat hahaha so i'll fill you guys in. I've been sick for the past week. 2 days ago i peed blood. So i took a urine test and found out that i have a kidney infection. But i got antibiotics today and started taking them. So everythings ok with me. I feel a lot better. So don't be worried for me cause i'm up and working like normal now a days. The Lord takes care of his children very well. Especially his servants. But things are going good. Oh dad when you're in Jamaica you have to go a whole day in black long pants and a shirt and tie. Then you'll know exactly how we feel here. The weather is the same! You'll be just like me! haha. But i don't know if i have told you guys.....we have a bomb family we're teaching. They are progressing so much. The branch is doing a good job making them feel at home. So we're excited for that. But not much has happened since last time cause i've been sick and we haven't done very much. But i'm sending you a picture of me and my comp with a horse backbone. And another one....you thought i was a big pig.....lol But i love you guys tons. Stay safe in Utah and in Jamaica too. Come enjoy the caribbean sun with me:) Love you guys!!!!!

Hello family!!! How are you guys doing? I'm doing good. I'll tell you about the work going on here in Hato Mayor. We got a referral (Sorry i don't know how to spell it. In spanish it's referencia) Of this way bomb family. They are so ready to hear our message. They told us that they LOVED our message and would love to continue with the lessons. It was pretty awesome. We've been contacting a lot cause we're temperally out of investigators. But we're trying. We have found a good amount of new people. We'll see if they progress any. But ya that's the work here. But oh i forgot to answer your question....i have't had REAL milk in 15 months. That'll be one of the first things i do when i get hom. Cold glass of milk. About the temple it was about 5 months ago. But we get to go next week on the 23. We are very excited for that. I always feel the spirit so strong when i go. About you guys coming or waiting at the airport. I think it'd be better for you guys to just wait in the airport. I love this place....but there's nothing like home. But tell me....if you guys want to come here that'd be way cool. So you tell me what you guys want to do. I'm cool with either. Don't be afraid to tell me what you guys want to do. I got your package!! Thank you so much!!! The shirts are perfect fit on me. How did you know? lol. Oh about the surfing magazine.....i have a cedar chest full of surfing magazines. But it's ok.....it's a sign that i probably shouldn't have one here. So it's way cool. But i'm doing great. I'm healthy and happy. I love you guys so much!!!! Keep reading the scriptures and saying your prayers. Especially in the family ok? Love you!!!



We had an activity with the members. We made spaghetti. It was super fun. I love you guys!

Hello Family. Things are going great over here in the DR. Right now we're looking for people to teach. Our investigators got baptized. We're having a hard time finding new people. They just don't seem interested. But we just have to keep searching with faith and the Lord will put people in our path. This one guy had a baptism date but it fell cause he isn't going to church. But the branch here is making a turn around which is AWESOME!!! We have the help of the Stake of La Romana. They come here every sunday. Everyone is trying to fulfill their callings. The Stake of La Romana has this awesome plan about one family bringing a non~member family to church and also how to work with the inactives. We (the missionaries) gave a orientation on how to share with inactives and what to say and to figure out what's the problem...why they aren't going to church. It was way good. But that's way awesome that Gordon is going to church and that he got to stand in the circle. That makes me happy. Sad that nick and cam are being turds. I can't wait to come home and hang with them. That will be way fun. Dand Matt and Trev have like no time left, One transfer to be precise. CRAZY!!!! I was chilling with my friend today and we were mind boggled at the fact that we have 9 months left. It's really coming up on us. But i don't wanna focus on that cause it'll make me all trunky and homesick. No bueno! But ya things are going good here. I love you guys so much. I miss you tons. I'm sending Rachel and you (Mom and Dad) a letter. So prepare yourselves. I know Rachel doesn't live at home but keep it for her for whenever she comes over esta bien? Quidense mucho
Con mucho Amor!

Papa como se siente? Ojala bien. Pero si todo esta tranquilo conmigo. Estamos trabajando en la obra misional como dos locos jaja. Hey guys things are going good with me. Dad i have 17 baptisms. I owe 9 of them to one of my comps named Elder Mercado. He's a baptizer. But ya i don't just baptize anyone who will say yes. They have to be ready. Dang it's going to be a jungle when i get back huh? With all the dogs and everything. But it's cool. Yes i'm staying healthy. I take my vitamins every single day and i eat cucumbers every day also. So things are going good. Nothing really happening here now a days. Just looking for more people to baptize. That's the hard part. That's where the members come in. But wow it sounds like the twins are monsters. They'll grow out of it i'm sure of it. But ya nothing here. I'm healthy and happy. Just working everyday. Time sure is flying by. I could've swore that i just barely started the mission just a month ago. But i love you guys so much! Take care and stay safe ok? I love you guys. But hey guys!!! Ya the system that we use to email went down so it never sent this email. I'm ok and healthy. But here it is. I love you guys!!!!!!!!
