Week 74

 

It's been a super long time since I have written so I apologize. The last few weeks have been super awesome. We have found lots of new people and many people will be baptized soon.

This week we had three different Christmas parties and so that was fun. the members here are incredible. They always are super supporting of missionary work.

We also got to go out to lunch with Elder Jean Baptist and so that was super fun. He's such a cool guy.

At church we had a lot of friends come and that was super cool. It's so awesome to see the smiles on their faces when they come. It's always cool when they invite their friends as well.

We got news from transfers and we found out that my companion will be training and I will be a Zone leader.

On Friday I got transferred to Baní. It is located in the southern part of my mission close to the ocean. It is smaller than the capital and bigger than las matas de farfan. People in the mission say there are lots of mangoes in my new area. . The church is average. There were 70 people in church yesterday including 7 people investigating the church.

Our house is pretty nice. It’s pretty big. It is better than my last house. One cool thing about our house is we live with 4 elders and they are all awesome.

My companion is elder van leeuwen. He is from utah. He is the oldest of 4 children. His dad works as a dentist. His three favorite things to do when he is not preaching the word are: 1) working out, 2) play piano and 3) teach the word. He has been out for 14 months. Before the mission he did a bit of everything.

Thanks dad for the help^

Anyways this week was fun

For some reason Bani has a ton of baseball players here and the other day we were contacting and we saw a Ferrari and so of course we walked over and say hi to the guy. His name was José Ramirez. He said he played for the MLB but we had never heard of him before. It turns out he’s pretty good.

Other than that it was just a normal week getting to know the area. It's super nice and I really like it here.

It'll be an awesome transfer

Anyways, remember to light the world and share the light of Christ!

Merry Christmas

  I'm not a huge fan of writing emails but apparently people want me to write more. Therefore I am going to default to bulletpoints This was a super awesome awesome week and it had a lot of miracles - I'm starting to really love Oregon. The weather is beautiful and the branch is amazing. I've never seen a more unified branch and I'm honored to be a part of it.  - We got to talk to a very drunk guy who had a really big Bible in Guatemala so that was sweet. We also talked to a guy smoking a cigar that says we should wear baby clothes to protect us so maybe I'll take that into consideration.  - We got to go to the Portland temple with two new converts and this was a super cool experience. Everyone in the branch that could go went and drove the hour to support their fellow members. It was super special.  - We had a mission tour and Elder Nash who is the president over all the missionary work in the world came and spoke to us. He taught us about the importance of the mem...

Week 31/32

Hola! Cómo están? I hope all is well, and I am sorry for not sending an email last week, I started it but then forgot to finish and send it. Anyways, here's my last 2 weeks On Sunday, I found out that I was going to get transferred to Las Matas, which is a very small town about 40 minutes from the Haitian border.   I spent most of Monday packing, but we had a service project with Tony, which was a lot of fun. We helped him paint a house, and that all went pretty well.   On Tuesday we spent most of the day saying goodbye to all the members. That was really sad because I had been there for 5 months and they became super good friends. That is one of the hard parts about the mission. You get used to changing really fast.   Wednesday was transfers, so we woke up at 6 and left at 8 for the capital. The guagua driver was not very pleased with how heavy our suitcases were. Once we got to the capital some people helped us off the guagua and told us they could help us get to the ch...
