Holas de la Republica,

 

Everything here is going well, we have a lot of investigators and are working with them hard. We dont have alot of time in between appointments which is great cause the day goes by faster and your always on that spiritual high. yesterday was a hard day we only had 1 person in church and it wasnt any of our investigators just some random guy that came. Juan and Estephani are still progressing but we moved their dates back to the 30, they are quite ready to make the commitment. we have found a lot of people again and are trying to figure out if they are ready or not. we dont have a lot of time to waste just talking to people. but we have to give everyone a good chance to see if they are ready. There are a ton of inactives om this ward. we contacted at least 6 since E. Almonte has came. and that is just randomly doing contacts.

 

interviews went well for us. Pres. Hernendez is a great guy. He is very relaxed and natural. He doesnt speak english which would be hard for the new people coming in. but his wife does speak it so that is good. they are both really great people and have a strong spirit with them. It will be interesting to see what changes are made over the next few transfers. over half teh mission is going hime within 4 months so we are going to see a lot of changes. also Pres. Antivilo was only using 30 percent of the budget when he left so maybe we will get a few more things like a back up power system. that would be nice the other missions on the island have them but we dont. most people here have them too. It has been hotter these last few days cause it hasnt been raining. the sun is powerfull when it is shining here.

 

I cant upload pictures today cause the computer i am using doesnt have a usb port and it is way slow. but that is all from the Dominican republic for this week. i hope everyone is doing well and that you all hove the spirit with you. always take the time to evaluate your life and think if this is what God wants you to be doing. love lyou all.

 

Con Amor
