14 November 2016 - La Llave (Santo Domingo)

(Response to Dad's e-mail, in which he gave some advice about finding through less-active members, but admitted he was "preaching to the choir"; shared that many people are rioting since the election; and that the world is experiencing many earthquakes.)

Definately to the choir. haha But, our area presidency doesnt want us working much this less actives. Only to find new people to teach. So Dad....Did you have a different white handbook as a missionary? :P Now as im thinking back on missionary movies and things that Ive seen, they dont keep like any of the rules. hahaha

Yeah. Belive me, we heard Trump won. The whole country has been asking me if I wanted trump. I just tell them I was indifferent. Thats crazy about all these earthquakes. The prophecies must be fulfilling themselves! Its exciting but scary at the same time. We actually had a mini tremor the other day. Love you Dad! Thanks for the tips and your prayers!

(General e-mail)

Ooookey. So I dont have alot of time today but I will try to put in the most important parts.

So this was a week of lots of contacts and rain. We have found some really great people and some just really...really........really ignorant ones. Like...wow. haha But theyre loved children of God! hahaha On sunday we left with our bishop who is a totaly beast and he showed us a whole bunch of less actives so we´re gonna be working a bit more with them to get some references comin.

I also have to start doing college stuff! Thats weird!

My companion and I are getting along swimmingly and working hard.

I will put in more details (and photos) next week! Love you all!!!

 

PS Family! Who do I have for christmas...? I actually know how to send packages now, but they might be a little late.

Okey, I have like 2 seconds so ill write more. We also had tons of meetings this week and I finally got my first pair of shoes resoled! Hopefully theyll last me these 6 months. Okey! Bye!

Oh, and Dad. I need a favor. So I need to start thinking about college. Im thinking of going to USU for the first year, then switching to BYU. All of that depends however if I still have my 1000 dollar scholarship to USU. Do you think you could get me signed up for like the fall/winter semester? My A number and password are on my ipod. Or, you can send me the info I need and I can do it next week. Thanks!
