Ok so we are both getting transfered out of the area. We worked so hard to get this ward moving again and now we are betting ¨whitewashed¨ but it´s ok. We left the next set of missioaries 2 people ready to get baptized and so that´s all that matter is the lives we are making better not the glory of how many baptisms we had or who baptized them. We did our part and now i´m moving on. I´m going to one of my old areas again. It was my favorite area out of all of them. And my new comp i know him. He´s way cool. And one of my best friends of the mission lives in the same house. I´m so stoked! I get to go back and talk to all my friends and baptism there. It´s the best way to finish off my mission. I got the package! Thanks so much! The granola is amazing. I already finished a box. The boys look SOOOO old now. I can barely recognized them. They are so different already. But things are going great. We played soccer and basketball today and i´m beat. The sun is killer over here. You feel like you´re being baked alive. But it´s good for the soul....puts hair on the chest. But last week i did this way cool challenge. I read the Book Of Mormon in a week. 75 pages every single day for a full week. It was a very special experience. I got a lot out of it. It makes you tired physically and mentally but it was worth it. I love the Book Of Mormon. And i love you guys so much! Stay safe and keep filling up my poster :) Take care ok?

So Dominicans don´t eat tacos ever. It´s just rice, beans, meat, yuka and platanos. But we suggested it so the family attempted tacos. They were really good....not as good as yours moms but they were pretty good. But José Andrea got baptized on wednesday. It was good. I´m trying to send a picture of the baptism but we´ll see if this computer will do the trick. It´s not the best computer. Rachel....the dominican republic is a million times different at the resort then in the slums of santo domingo. But the resorts are very pretty. haha. But that´s way cool that she came here. The health....it´s doing good. I´m healthy and happy. We will be getting the transfer call on sunday. So next email i´ll write you guys and tell you what´s happening with us. Nobody knows. But we´re working with the members a lot to help them be self reliant and do their callings. And with referrals and what not. It´s working. We´re getting success. They just need a little push that´s it and they start to move. But things are great. I´ll be coming home to a mad house full of dogs. Eh that´s nothing new for me. There are dogs in the street here all over. Dead dogs....dogs mating....dogs fighting. Ahh the life of Santo Domingo en el barrio con mis compadres. Así es la vida para los duros. But i love you guys. Write back soon and i´ll keep you informed ok? Paz y Amor

Hey guys. So the baptism didn´t go down cause José Andres had to work. You know how satan is working super hard. They called him in the morning that day and they told him to work. He never works that day. But this up coming wednesday he will be getting baptized. We´re working with him. But things are going good here. I got a package from grandma with tons of candy in it. Can you tell her thank you so much for me and that i love her. But we will be having another transfer in 2 weeks here. I hope i just stay here. I don´t want to have to learn another area. Just let me die here in my area haha. Just send me another comp who wants to work and things will be great. That´s all i ask for. But things are good here. Tonight we´re going to be making tacos at a family home evening. Ya!!! tacos!!!! But i can´t wait for cold weather. I´m at the moment sweating like a pig cause the light left and we don´t have fans blowing on us. It´s a sauna in this room. But i love you guys so much!!!!! Write back soon

Hey guys. Ok i´ll answer all ur questions......I´m in Villa Mella, our investigators have to learn about the Gospel of Jesus Christ-faith, repentance, baptism, Holy Ghost, and perservere til the end, the restauration of the church of jesus christ ´joseph Smith´, book of mormon, law of chastity, word of wisdom, sabath day and any other problems they might have. They have to go to church at least 2 times and they have to have a testimony that these things are true. Sorry if anything is spelled wrong here i don´t ever talk about this stuff in english haha. Only me and my comp in our apartment here, our house is made of cynder blocks and rebar. I don´t think it´s super stable to be honest. We just stay home. Yay i think that´s every question. But things are going good here. We will be having a baptism on wednesday. And another one scheduled for the 17. We´re working hard over here. I´m healthy don´t worry about that. I hit 22 months yesterday. All of my friends here in the mish are all going home. It´s crazy. But i´m not trunky yet so don´t worry about that. I heard the other that my little friends a member in my old ward in Los Mina was stabbed to death the other day. He was like 12 years old. He made fun of this girl in school and so one night the girls friends grabbed him and the girl stabbed him to death. I´m really bummed to be honest. He was our little buddy. But Los Mina was a super dangerous area. But i love you guys so much! Take care
