Hola from Nizao

Hey Everyone. Im officially have 1 week on the field. It is amazing. Ever since i got my mesqito net I have thought about nothing else than the work here. Nizao is a small city that has about 3000 people. We do lots of teaching their also right next and I mean no change in teh houses, is Don Gregorio. We teach a lot their. Most and probably all the people here have been contacted or at least know the church. Wed have about 100 active members in our branch. Plus tons of non active members. We find them all the time. OUr Branch Young Mens President lives in Don Gregoriop and gives us very good and promising refrences. We need refrences to find pepole who really care. So right now we have 5 baptismal dates. One is a 50 yr old lady and the 4 others are 4 baseball players who are staying at a scouts house. The scout is a member and talks to the MLB teams. He is their trainer too. Its sweet. They are your though. One is 15 another is 16 and two are 18 years old. But we have some really interested people who really want to know the gospèl. I can see the miricles the lord gives us with helping the finding of this people. He is amazing. The people here love their alcohol and its really bad. They are drunk all the time. But on the weekends the whole town goes to the center and has a huge drinking party and other bad things. We only live 4 houses from it. So their is constantly noise. The people here litterally blare their music in cars and in their houses and stores. Plus their are millions of little motercycles and scooters. They rev up their engines like no other. So most people live by the strets and we teach outside so every minute we have to stop teaching and wait for them to pass. So its really hard to feel the spirit. But i have faith that all will be well. The girñls are crazy here and always stare at us. in a trans. they think we are gods or something. THey really like white boys. They say stuff to us and hiss at us. Hissing means they want you. Its really strange. But Im fine and I hope you all have a awesome. week. My time is short so ill tell you more next week.

Love

Elder Spud
