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

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 :)
