Things have been going well with both of them. Siul is ready is a great person. He has been playing basketball with us on pdays. His wife is a little better about the whole thing. I think he talks to her about it every night so it is all good. He will be a great baptism, and new member to the ward for the little time that he will be here before he goes up to the states. Margarita is progressing and has a testimony of the Book of Mormon but just has a lot of doubts about some of the doctrine. So, we talked about walking with faith, and how we dont always why we do the things but if we feel that it is right in our hearts then we should just do it without questions and follow what God is telling us.
Today is Independence day for the DR so they celebrate it with what is called a carnaval and they where these crazy masks and crazy outfits that are supposed to some how be from the ancient people of this country. So the other night when we were walking home we saw this crazy guy dressed in the whole outfit and mask and stuff just walking down the street which is weird because they usually only have the costumes in the party areas which are on the beach. They have crazy looking masks, but they are cool. We also played betilla today, which is a baseball type of a game but it is with plastic top things and a broom stick. It was way fun. It is hard to hit them but you get pretty good at it after practice. I remember Nathan Bills trying to explain it to me. I will have to bring some of them home to show cause it is hard to explain. Other then that not a lot has happened. The weather is way hot but not much you can do about that. I am not looking forward to another extremely hot summer, but it will be hurricane season soon so that will be cool. Well I hope all will be well with all of you. ¡haz lo justo! and never cease to work in the work of the Lord. love you all.
con amor,
Elder Holmes
