Well buenas de La Capital. The capital is a little different for sure. It is a lot dirtier and more stores in my area then there was in my other. The people don't come pick up trash everyday so people just throw it in the streets and the dogs get into it and it gets everywhere. Also on the way over to this internet place we saw a buch of cows eating trash. It makes me not want to eat beef from here. It is a good area though. The ward isnt very strong (in numbers). It doesn't have a lot of people but it is a good ward with strong members. Sacrament starts at 8:00 in the morning so it is really hard to get people to come to church. We talk to people and invite them to church but when we say that it is at 8 they look at us weird and say ya i will be there but they don't have any intention of going. Right now we don't have hardly any investigators. we are working on gettting some new ones.
Elder Peña my comp is a amazing at talking to people, when he talks people listen and understand him very well. he is a great teacher and has only been in this ward for a transfer but knows everyone and everyone knows him. He is a great teacher too. My spanish is getting a lot better for talking about things other than the gospel. He helps me a lot with that and I help him with English. We get along well. He used to be in the military here in the DR and he went to Iraq for a year and a half. I am learning a lot from him. He has 94 baptisms in his mission so far. That is a ton of people! We are going to try and find some families to teach.
Well last sat. Gabriel and Gladys were baptized and all went well. E. Correa said everything went well and that it was a success. I wish i could have been there but he said that he would send the pictures to me. I dont know when he will but when he does I will send them to you guys. Well i am trying to get used to the new area and a new comp. The first week with a new comp always goes by slow. But I hope that this next week goes by faster and that we can find some new people.
Today was fun. I got to go to parke del este which is where all the missionaries in the capital come to play sports and stuff. I didnt play anything because we got there late but I got to see a lot of my friends and got to catch up with them which was great. We also went to megacentral which is a huge mall that has a ton of stores and places to eat. I got to eat taco bell which was really good.
That is about it from la Republica. I hope everyone is doing well you are all in my prayers. Always keep to have faith in Christ and to trust in him in all that you do. Thank you all for your support.
Love you all.
con amor
Elder Holmes
