November 14, 2016


Yeah we are working our hardest to find some progress and have things work out well here. As always we have been contacting a lot and always searching for more people to teach. The other day we had a lesson with a family that we had contacted about a week before and they may be the family that I have been searching for my entire mission.  It was one of the very few times in my mission that without even having to ask, the whole family sat down and listened.  On Thursday we taught Americo´s wife and kids and it went really well. The biggest issue there is that he works a lot including on Sunday morning. Both Americo and his kids seem pretty pumped about the church though. Other than that we have been able to see a little bit of progress in our other people and are doing our best to help them understand things. It has been raining a lot more and so it has not been very hot lately which is good.  Here in Dajabon the rain has not done too much damage. In other parts of the country it has hit really hard. One of my good mission friends is in Santiago and some people have died in his area and in some spots the flooding has been more than 10 feet deep. No need to worry though, out here in Dajabon all has been chill.  Today we went to go take pictures of the more guarded bridge between Haiti and the DR. We were just going to take pictures from outside but the guards invited us to go down onto the actual bridge. As you will see they even took pictures with us. It was pretty cool. It is kind of crazy how big of a difference there is on the DR side of the river and the Haitian side. You can easily see that it is much more poor and deprived on the other side.  We are working hard as always and trying our best to have success and find the people that have been prepared to receive the gospel. I love you lots!  Make sure to send my love to everyone down there in Vegas, especially Troy.
