So we had a baptism on saturday. It was amazing. We got lots of support from the members and he received the Aaronic Priesthood right after it. This man was also ready to hear the gospel. He`s a very spiritual guy. His name is Luís Garsón. Very special guy. He`s all.....i feel all special and different now. It was a very special experience. The next saturday we have another baptism. We´ll be baptizing a kid named Ezequiel. He`s all excited to get baptized. He keeps asking us....when are you guys going to baptize me? haha we´re all....let us talk to you mom and dad first. But things are going good here. We don`t have a lot of baptism´s but our baptism´s are solid people who will be leaders in the future. So i´m content :) But i´m healthy and happy. Working hard trying to find new people. That`s the hard part about the mission...finding the people prepared to hear it. I thought that i got away from ¨weeding and gardening¨ but little did i know that it would be 2 years od weeding haha. I love you guys so much! Take care and stay safe :)

Ya so i feel way better now. I bought these pills from a pharmacy to kill the bacteria in my stomach and it worked. So now we´re back in the game working super hard. We took out our recent baptism Carlos out to go contacting with us. It was a lot of fun. If you were to talk to this guys you would think that he has 5 years in the church. Just an intelligent guy. He loves to read the Book of Mormon. This guy was so prepared for the gospel. I´m very proud that the Lord chose me to be apart of his conversion. I know it had nothing to do with us. Just at the right place at the right time. The Lord blessed us and Carlos. Things are going good here. We´re just chugging a long working in the Heat of the Dominican Republic. It{s such a good experience.....i didn´t say it´s been easy but it sure has been a good one that´s for sure. But i love you guys so much. I always keep you guys in my prayers. Stay safe and tell becca to go on that trek. That will be a super awesome experience. Peace

So i´ll start off with the bad news. Thursday i got super sick. I had a fever and diarrhea and a huge headache. I didn´t leave my bed for 2 days. But here´s the good news....i´m better. Yay! I still have a little bit of a stomach problem right now but i can work fine. We are working super hard. We are taking members with us to as many lessons as possible. Cause the investigators need friends and they need to know that this church isn´t just filled with foreigners haha. Some people really think that. But that´s really working. The members makes a HUGE difference when it comes to visits. So announce this to the world....go and do visits with the missionaries! They need all the help they can get. But it sounds like everyone is doing good over there. That makes me happy. I´m doing good here so don´t worry ok? I love you guys! Stay safe and GOOD LUCK MIKE! You´ll be in my prayers. Hit a homerun!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE! Things are good here. Ya i hope to finish here. I don´t want to pack up all my stuff and have to get to know another area. That´s no fun. Things are going a little slow here. We´re working hard but it´s been hard getting people to church every sunday. But if we keep working hard i know the Lord will provide a way. I guess that´s where the whole Faith factor comes in haha. But i haven´t heard from the new prez yet. He´s here but it´s only been a week so he hasn´t changed anything. There are some rules that i would hope that he changes but if not....oh well right? But i can´t wait to go camping with everyone. Oh my health? It doing great. I´m eating right and working out everyday so i can stay super healthy. We make sure to drink a lot of liquids. I´m starting to buy gatorades a lot. But today we had a BBQ with all of our friends. It was a lot of fun. We even bought an apple pie to celebrate. I´m proud to be an American! I love you guys so much! Stay safe and be good....all of you :)
