11 January 2016 - Villa Hermosa (La Romana)

(Response to Dad's e-mail. Dad's cousin, Shawn Parkenson, who is the same age as Dad, passed away suddenly from a stroke a few days ago. Ian is getting back from a cruise, and Mom and Dad are about to leave on one. Dad asked about opportunities to see cultural sites.)

Well Dad, I just love you and how EVERYONE is going on cruises all of a sudden. -_0 Thats kind of a shock though about your cousin. If it makes you feel any better, whenever I show people your picture they always say, "What?? He is not 61! Hes like 40 max. Maybe 45 with the grey in his beard." Hahaha I have good looking parents. :P For cultural sight seeing...not too much. Theres not alot in our zone. Its mostly just fields. Next week were going to Casa Del Campo though, which is where all the rich Americans live. So that should be interesting. Love you Dad!

(General e-mail.)

Alright....So...Big letter. Does anyone still read this thing? Haha Bromeando, claro. So this week was swell. We now have 4 baptismal dates. One with Tomasa (Again) for the 30th, and with Hector (again) Glenni and her Boyfriend Carlos for the 27th of Feb. Our zone is having a White night that day, so hopefully well have tons of people there. Also, we had interviews with President on Friday, so that was pretty great. Sunday was a bumber though. We had tons of people who promised they would be in the Church and....no one came. Bueno. So that was a bit frustrating, especially because Tomasa was all excited to come and we even got her a special chair to sit in and everything.
Hmm...what else. We had a fight with one of our recent converts about the pre earth life and temple work which was frustrating because it just shows that the Missionaries from before didnt teach her much. Shes still great though and we got everything settled. The Jehovas witnesses are out in force, Teaching about and Jesus wasnt the Son of God, so thats always interesting. Umm... Sorry I dont have much else. The days are starting to blend into one. We contact alot and have found some great people ( I hope). The sun is VERY hot and the work is sweet. Love you all!

(And another e-mail, for some reason.)

Hey pops. Sooo Ive started going to the Gym. Do ya think you could send me like some protien powder or something like that to help me bulk a little? My comp is trying to convince me to buy Herbal Life, but that has soy protien and stuff in it, so I said no for now. Also, if you guys could send some card and board games my way, thatd be dope. Mille Bornes, stuff like that. Love you!
