Awesome Caves

Before heading out to the caves today

Me, Elder Horsley & Elder Esserine cave exploring

This week the work was very slow. A lot of our investigators aren't progressing so we are going to have to move on. This P-Day we had an awesome trip to these hidden caves. I met back up with my old district and we dove down into the Dominican caves. The caves included: crystal clear ponds, huge drops, a trash mountain, and prehistoric spiders... The spider was bigger than my head haha. The DR has some amazing people out there and I can't wait to teach the people prepared by the Lord and bring them into His church. I finished the Book of Mormon again this week and I know it's true! The book has super good advice for any situation. So if you have a question, read and pray. Love you all!

Another week in the DR

This week we worked super hard! We contacted a ton, we worked with the members a lot and got them all excited about missionary work, and we did all we could in every minute this week. We went out and taught a bunch of lessons with members and we had a family history activity in the church yesterday and it was awesome! I love you guys and keep on praying!

Hey everybody! This week was awesome! I got to meet Elder Renlund and shake his hand! He´s such a chill guy and can really bring the spirit into the room. We also finished the move from house to house finally haha. We are working super hard here and contacting a ton! It´s getting a lil harder to baptize here but we´re working harder and walking farther. Love you guys!

I built a fire and cooked chicken on the roof of my new apartment because we don't have gas yet.

***Comments from other emails....

-We had a face to face with Elder Renlund on Saturday and that was cool. It was held at the mission office church building. The whole mission was there in one room for the first time in 8 months. 

-We contacted 25 new people this week and that was cool. We are shooting for more next week. Not this Saturday but the next Saturday we are trying for a baptism.

Transfers!

Discauri threw Elder Esserine and I a party before he left

Sorry for not emailing last week everybody! Super busy week! We had transfers and I said bye to Elder Esserine. But I'm out of my training now! I'm still in Los 3 Brazos but I have a new companion Elder Alquicira! He's an awesome dude from Atlanta, Georgia. He loves soccer and his favorite team is Barcelona so it's perfect! He's the District leader and has 7 months in the mission. We are working super hard out here and are trying to bring the ward to do more missionary work. Plus we are moving houses today so today's crazy! Here's a pic of me washing a member's car. Haha Love you guys!
