Yooooo

This week has been freakin bomb!! My comp and I have been working our butts off and the lord has been blessing us for it!! Its dang hot and muggy here 24-7 but it’s awesome! I am pretty sure I’ve lost 15 pounds so far! We get up at 6 and go lift and workout every morning so it’s great! Here is a picture of the gym we workout at. As you can see, no college has anything on this sucker!! It’s like 50 cents per week for both of us to use! We thought about doing service and cleaning it up, but we would be here for 10 years!!  My diet consists of lots of pasta and chicken, carrots and bananas.

The people are crazy here and especially with their driving!! There are about 50,000 motorcycles and they fly up and down the streets without looking!! We walk a ton up and down between little cities!! The work is picking up here in San Isidro! This week has been great we are working our butts off and this guy like showed up at church yesterday and said he’s been to Utah and all the temples and his whole family is members so he’s ready right now to be baptized.  Right now we have 8 people ready to be baptized but we will see how that goes!!

As we are out tracking, many people just stare at the two huge white blonde kids but the members are amazing and so loving and understanding.  Yesterday was kinda interesting, a bunch of lessons fell through so we went contacting! Well it didn´t go so well, long-story short we ran into this crazy lady from another church and she started testifying against our church and it was awesome haha so we bore testimony, Elder Koerper told her off and we left hahaha.

Anyways this week was great! Only here in the DR do you see a bus meant for 15 people, stuffed with 50! Oh and there is this dude here who we call the Lamanite, haha, he is this homeless dude who sits on the streets and eats garbage and then just pukes it up! It’s super awesome haha.

Anyways things are so good here in the DR. I love this gospel and doing the lords work!! See ya next week!!
