July 25th

Well another week passes by rapido. I cant believe that it will be august in another week. Time goes by extremely fast. We are working hard here which helps the time go by faster. We had a good week taught a lot of people and got the ward members more involved. That is what we are working on right now is to get the ward members involved. It is so much easier to help people come into the Gospel when the ward members are helping. to have a friend in the church makes people stay stronger in the church. This week we had the interviews for Juan and estephani and they both did good but both are a little timid to take the step of baptism so we think that we are going to push it back another week. other than that we have been finding a lot of people and have been struggling to get people to visit the church. When it is at 8 the people have less of a desire to go to an unfamiliar place. it is also an easy way to find the people who are truly ready to receive the gospel.

 

Other then that we have been trying to find new people and working hard with the people progressing right now. It has been a little bit cooler this last week because it was raining a lot so it was a little better. Hurricanes usually dont hit this country with much strength they are still building up strength so they dont do a lot of damage here. they just flood the streets and people enjoy bathing in the rain. more or less bathing. some people go by little packs of shampoo and wash their hair when it is raining really hard. it was interesting the first time that i saw that.

 

Well that is about it from the DR. I hope that everything is going well for all of you. you are all in my prayers daily. thank you for all the support. Trust in God and be worthy for the voice of the spirit.

 

Con Amor,
