Hahaha those ties are super ugly it´s true. We wore them cause they are matching. The same design just different colors. But i´ll agree they are super ugly. But how is everything going with all of you? It sounds like all is well over there. That´s good. Things around here are just peachy keen. Just working hard with all of our investigators. We have 2 planned baptisms for this month so we´ll see how things go with them. We helped a man ditch smoking, drinking coffee, and alcohol. He´s a trooper! So we´re working hard. Ok so for my birthday package......u guys can send me granola. Just the normal kind with oatmeal, raisins, and nuts. The super market doesn´t sell granola anymore and that´s an awesome breakfast that keeps me going. Granola and yogurt/milk. Mmmm. But other then that i´m good. I´ll be home in 2 months anyway. But ya....surprise me :) But i´m healthy. I weighed myself i weigh 155 as of today. I´ll work on getting back up to normal size after the mish. For now i´m just going to eat healthy. But that´s it from over here. I love you guys!!!!!

Hey family :) So ya they told us about the hurricane today. We weren´t allowed to leave the zone we´re in. We were kinda bumbed. They said it was going to hit but we haven´t seen anything yet. I hope not cause it doens´t cool the DR down when it rains. It stays hot.....and then you´re wet. But things are going good here. Just chugging along trying to get all that i can out of the mission. I´m learning alot about patience and humility. I´m not humble or patient but i´m working on that. But the mission is such a good learning experince. We had a baptism on saturday. Ezequiel came back and we baptized him on saturday. He´s way good. I´m sending a picture of his baptism. But we´re going to keep chuggin´ along trying to find some good solid people to teach the gospel. My birthday? Surprise me :) i have no idea to be honest. Lot´s of pictures of you guys. And the rest.....surprise haha. But thanks for everything. I love you guys so much! Remember....family home evening will bring the spirit into the home and make life a little bit easier. Stay safe and i´ll do the same :)

So every 6 weeks we get called to see if one of us is staying and to
see if one of us is going. We got the call and both of us are staying.
At the end of this transfer i will have 5 months 24/7 with my comp.
But we have some people who will be getting baptized this transfer.
I´m excited for that. But the mission is the biggest patience test of
my life. You people have never spent 24/7 with another person not of
ur choice. Mom and Dad you don´t have to be with each other for 24/7.
So that´s not very easy. But it´s all just a good experience right?
I´ve for sure changed spiritual, and physically, and mentally. But ya
2 more transfers and back in the united states of apple pies. That´ll
be good for me. But i love you guys tons! And miss you also. Take care

Hey guys :) Wow trek sounds like it was a huge testimony builder. That´s so great. It makes you realize how true this church is huh? Ya every day i realize more and more how true it is. It´s truely flawless. Things are going good here with me. Yes i am a little skinnier but there´s not much i can do about that. I´l just gain it all when i get back. This transfer is coming to a close and i have 2 left. That´s it. I´m chuggin´ along just fine. We only got 1 baptism this transfer but he´s a strong one. Satan sure got in the way with our investigators. So annoying but there´s nothing to do besides just keep going ya know? The mission is just a big patience test haha that´s something that i have needed. I wasn´t very patient back in the day so that´s helping me out tons. Life is great. We get the transfer call in a week and i´m excited to find out what´s going to happen. But that´s about it. I love you guys! Stay safe and thanks for everything :)

Here´s some pics of luis, bbq 4th of july event, and me in the hood. Enjoy :)

So we were supposed to have Ezequiels baptism on saturday but......his grandma got sick so the whole family took off to see her. Satan is trying so hard so that he doesn´t get baptized. That happens with all of our investigators. Something always happens. All we can really do is wait patiently until he returns. That´s what happen with carlos and luis. So we´ll just keep chugging along. But that package came on thursday. My comp`had never eaten any of that candy. Thank you so much!! We finished it on sunday haha. 4 days. My comp has a VERY big sweet tooth. It was good. So i weighed myself today and i´m 157. I haven´t been that skinny since i was like 15. But i don´t look all emaciated so don´t worry. Just everywhere i´ve lost a little bit. BUt things are going good. I´m trying to eat healthy so if you feel the need to send a package :) you should send me granola or something like that. But i´m good for right now. But i love you guys so much! Stay safe and shower daily.....that´s important
