Week 86

Saludos! Ojalá estén super bien! Its been a really long time since ive written a letter so i hope you can alp forgive me. The last transfer was a good one and we were able to have a lot of success. The best past was the baptism of Erika! She is 19 years old and was just waiting for the gospel of Jesus Christ. She filled out a Facebook add asking for a book of Mormon and hasn't missed church since the day she started going. It is amazing to see how some people are just ready. 


We also have been teaching un hermano that at one point was a active priesthood holder and even was called to be the Sunday School president. Things happened in his life and he hasn't been to church for 30 years. We started teaching him and this week he surprised us and came. It was so so cool. He was able to meet a member that was there when he was baptized and it was so special. 


I got a new comp and his name is elder De la rosa, he is from La Vega DR.  He seems to be super awesome, he is going to teach me a lot. He likes to play basketball and talk with people. It was pretty great. Élder standage is also training a new missionary and so that has been a ton of fun. 


We've been focusing a lot on finding new people and its been going super well. We've been able to meet a lot of really cool people which has been awesome. Its cool how nice the people are here. 


We went to the dunas de Baní which were basically just dunes that run into the beach. It was a lot of fun but somehow we got bitten by some bugs and now our legs are covered with bug bites


 Anyways now for the spiritual thought


God loves you and has a plan for you. If there's one thing i've learned on the mission its this. Things happen for a reason and if we follow the commandments of God, we don't have to worry about a thing.

Week 8

  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...
