Howdy

Hey Everyone, Im having an amazing time here in the Dominican Republic. Well we had transfers last week and we got 2 dominicans. To put it in short. They´re crazy. They are fun to talk to and are wild. It is really fun in the night when were trying to unwind. THey are working pretty hard though. Elder Macy and I are only working in Nizao and the others are working in Don Gregorio. So Ill probably be here for 6 months in tital. Its a huge amount of time but thats just what our mission president does. He was told to do that I belive. I love that because i can honestly say I lOVE THE PEOPLE here. It is really amazing. I love them and dont really want to leave the area but thats just the mission. So im going to work hard adn leave a spot for the people here in their hearts. We had zone confrence this last week. It was special because we had President Mask the Area authoruty for the carribean come. We was a great speaker and i learned tons. He gave us a huge booster and reminded me of how much better i can be. We can always do something a little more or a little different. I really enjoyed it. It was sad for my companion because this was his last confrence. So he wont see many of hte other missionaries again. ONly 3 were going home from our zones in the campo of field. Campo is pretty much everything other than the capital, Santo domingo. And San Cristobal is considered half half. There are about Half the missionaries are dominicans and the other are americans. This place will soon be just dominicans coming. The work is going very well here. We have many investigators we only had 3 come but we were expecting tons because last week we had 6 and 2 were new this sunday. The one lady is already baptized in her mind. We are going to have to wait a little because she wants to be baptized with her husbanmd but we havent talked with him very much. She is awesoem. We are also teaching other families are they are really taking in the lessons. We also are teaching the husband of a less active member. He is super smart and is loving our message. We told us that every thing was clear and made sense when we talked and that we did it way better than other religions. He really respects us. He is super smart and loves teh bible. He has prayed and told us last night he knows the church is true and Jospeh Smith was a profet. We were so pumped last night when we talked with him. His wife also said she would go to church again if he started to attended. I really know the lord works in mysterious ways and that we will be baptized. I see him as a stake President and as being a great leader in the church. I m so thankful for my heavenly father and for his blessings he gives me. Im thankful for this grand opprortunity to serve him and also to help others find out the truth adn remember that this is the true church. It is an exciting work and im eating it up. So are our investigators. I love all of you and wish you the best luck. I know that God will bless you for following him. Ive seen the changes in so many people. There is such a diffrence in the amount of love and happiness these families have. I love ya again.
