7 March 2016 - Boca Chica (Santo Domingo)

(Response to Dad's e-mail. I have no idea what grandma quote he's talking about...)

Amen y amen!! haha thats so cool Dad! I also really liked that grandma quote. Sounds like Jason is making quite a boom in his work. Fulfilling his destiny as Jason Borne. I am taking my triguard. One dropper every morning and night cus thats what it says on the bottle. How much would four capsules be? four droppers?

Also, no worries, when I get back, I will be happy to help you with anything you need around the yard. :) Love ya daddy!

(General e-mail. FYI, "por fin" means "finally" or "at last", and "semana" means "week".)

Alright! I have much to say this week thanks to several spectacular experiences! First, PERLA GOT BAPTIZED!!!! Por fin! Haha we had the baptism Saturday morning on the beach! Unfortunately... My computer and internet are garbage today so I cant send photos until next week... so thats a bumber. But, saturday afternoon we had a temple trip as a stake and that was amazing. All the recent converts went in to do baptims for the dead and all our investigators went to the near by MTC to listen to President Corbitt. From our Investigators we got Yilbert and Dafni to come. Yilbert wasnt that interested, but Dafnis experience was life changing. She has four kids, one of which is special and cant even talk. She has been feeling very confused about the gospel and all the different churches. Shes been recieving a testimony of the restored gospel bit by bit though as we teach her and read from the Book of Mormon. The temple though was the big factor. President Corbitt had a wonderful discussion with all the investigators about what the temple is and the basics of what happen inside. Dafni was fascinated by the vicarious ordinances, especially the sealing. Afterward, we went for a walk around the temple and listened to the testimonies of the recent converts. During the whole experience, Dafni said that she felt the Spirit so strongly and just felt so loved that she wanted to be baptized! She now has a date for the 26th! Also, the stake started a special fast on saturday to help us meet our monthly goals. The next day, Sunday, we put 8 more baptismal dates with a part member family for the 19th! Also, Dafni came to church for the very first time! It was fast and testimony meeting and she got up and bore her testimony about how she new that this was the true church!!! FASTING WORKS!! BOOM! Wow The Lord is good to us here in Boca Chica.

Also, on a not so spiritual note, one of our Investigators, Felipe, gave us a tour of the local Yankee training facility. He works security there and invited us to his work! It was really cool! Were going next week too with the Zone leaders and the Assistants. This week was just really fantastic! Love you all and hope you have a swell semana!
