May 30th


HEYYYYY

How are you all!? This week has been bomb! As always it is dang hot here in the DR but I’m kinda adjusting haha! This week was hard but I just gotta keep goin!! It's hot but I love it!!!
 
This week we received a reference from Chile! Apparently there is a man in Chile who is meeting with the missionaries and he wanted us to visit his wife! Well we received this reference from salt lake and the address was totally wrong so we just decided to go door to door looking for her! Well it took us like 4 hours to find her but we finally did! It turned out that she had no idea her husband had sent us haha but that was ok! She was very open to our message and everything! She even ended up coming to church on Sunday too! So we ended up having a total of about 10 investigators at church and they were all Haitians haha. When we have our lessons with them, they don’t speak very good Spanish so we take a member with us to help us out! It is sometimes difficult but it’s really amazing  because no matter the language, the spirit testifies!!

 I can’t remember if I already said this but here in the DR, the power goes out ALL THE TIME and its really dumb haha so we have batteries on the outside of the house that hold a charge so we can run a fan at night and stuff, but if they run out, its sooooo hot! Also here in the DR there are TONS of fruit stands and everything and so on Wednesday afternoon, we stopped at one and the lady made us a fruit cocktail type thing and covered it in honey! WOW it was soooo dang good haha so i thing we are gonna go get another one soon! I found some parents here in the DR! Their last name is Marmolejos and they are both generals in the army! So that means they are super rich! This last week they fed us twice and they are just sooo nice and love to help us out!

Haha so here’s one for you guys back home, well one day while we were walking, a truck full of cows drove by, and just the smell of cow crap made me really trunky hahahaha. Reminds me of the good old days on the farm!

 It is definitely not easy here in the DR but it is so worth it to be able to share the truest message there is, with these wonderful people. Please feel free to send me letters and packages and especially some emails! I love you all!

 

I miss you guys so much!!!
