Well everybody I made it down to the DR. It is a place that I haven´t ever experienced before. Anyways so I met my trainer and my mission president on tuesday. My trainers name is Elder Peterson he is a good missionary and a cool kid from Idaho.
Our area is Bayona, it is in the capital, which means its in the city of Santo Domingo. Elder Peterson was here the transfer before and he has got the area on Fire! We are teaching so many people right now and we have lots of people with baptismal dates. We had 2 baptisms on saturday and I got to baptize one of them. The one that I baptized, her name is Yuelli and she is an awesome haitain lady, and then the other one that was baptized is named Caroline and she is a 12 yr old little girl with a great testimony. So this week has been Crazy! I watched conference in spanish and it was great. I saw the very first of Carl´s talk and then we had to go check the font. It ended up filling up with dirty water, you couldn´t even see the bottum, I will send pictures. So we were trying to think of what to do and then the stake president just told us to go and do it in the water so we did. It all turned out well, and was a really cool baptismal service. It got the ward here pretty pumped which is the best and our ward is really cool too. I was super blessed to be able to come into this area.
A little bit on living conditions, we usually don´t have power and bucket showers are the Bomb.Com! They really do feel good and cool, very nice. Well I am loving it here and we are going to get some great work done in this area. The Lord has prepared these people and they are so ready hear the message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our investigators really liked President Monson, and his stories. They also really liked Elder Tad Calister´s talk about the book of mormon and the bible, it was so perfect for them! Anyways the work is coming forth down here and it is so awesome the gospel is true and the book of mormon is the word of god. I love you all! Nos Vemos or in dominican spanish No Vemo
Elder Wadman
