25 April 2016 - Boca Chica (Santo Domingo)

(Response to Dad's e-mail, in which Dad talked about a visit from Dr. Feinberg of NMT--they took him to Temple Square and got a tour from Elder and Sister Ennis and saw the new First Vision film.)

Man thats so cool! Convert that Dr.! haha But yes, thank you. The Lord is greatly blessing us. I really wanna see this new first vision. We havent even heard anything about it here! Well I love you dad! Ill write the big letter in a sec!

(General e-mail)

Alright! I actually have to write all the do dads today! So first Id like to start off with a story. So we were coming back from Goutiere (I really have no idea how to spell that.) yesterday in a public car and apparently the keys to our house fell out of my sons pocket....We went to our next and last appointment not noticing that anything was amiss. We we finally returned to our house after a stellar lesson with Angela Ramirez, my comp suddenly got a very disturbed look on his face. He had discovered the fatal mistake!! As a result we were scittering around the rest of the night, trying to figure out what to do. Calling this member and this missionary and this taxi etc etc. (I found a huge tarantula bigger than my hand on the side of the house) Finally, the Zone Leaders told us to hitch a ride with our neighbor and have a sleep over in Valiente, the Zone LEader´s area. After a very rough nights sleep, and a Pday excursion, we continued bombarding the office with calls about how we could get into our house. They said that they could do absolutely nothing and that we would have to figure out a way to fix it, and pay for anything that we did/changed. Rather upset, we called our non member neighbor, who is also the chief of police (and Batman?), and he whipped out a crow bar and a hammer and within a minute, the door was open and without damage! Yay! He´s pretty awesome. He even made his first joke to us! Yay friendliness! But yeah, Im still wearing the same clothes as yesterday and havent showered, but that will all come in time. Plus its raining buckets so I guess we can call that good enough. Now spiritual stuff!

This week was good in some ways and bad in others. We had some really amazing lessons and lots of people progressing. We were supposed to have the baptism of Dapheney on saturday, but various things happened and we postponed it until this coming saturday. So that means that this week, Miriam, Liliani, and Dapheney will be baptised, and lots more for next month! I just hope I get to stay! We are also coordinating and generally working better with our ward so the work will soon be moving forward even faster! Also, this next week well be moving into our new chapel!! Good bye garbage echo building. Hello spirituality and reverence with a real church! Hurray! I wish I had more time to tell about all the amazing stuff we´ve seen, felt and recieved, but I dont. I love you all, hope you all have a great week, and pray that we can all discover our Divine Purpose and bring ourselves close to God and His Divine light, for that is the only way to true happiness. I am a living witness of that, and testify of the reality of the restored Gospel and the blessings and spectacular promises it brings. Wickedness never was happiness friends and family, and only the search for Gods Will in our lives can bring us the peace that we all seek.
