Merry Christmas

Well it sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun this year at christmas. And mom said that kenzi and brooke want to act out the nativity thing that will be fun. Also, thats crazy that there isn´t a lot of snow there this year but im sure it will be coming quick. Well for you that dont know we had a baptism on satuday, we baptized a guy named cuchito and it was really cool because now him and his wife are baptized and are active members in the ward right now so we are super stoked about that. Also we are working with some more people and they are progressing really well so life is good right here in the DR. Also, my new comp is from washington and his name is elder king, and we get a long really well and I know that the work will just continue here in bayona and that we will be able to bring many more souls unto the fold christ. And this is what we are going to be working for. Well I hope christmas goes really well this year and New years too. I love you all and merry Christmas

White Christmas

Well last week we had a christmas conference with our entire mission so that was really cool. And that was the reason I didn´t write, i thought we would have time to write but we didn´t back home til late. Anways, it sounds like you are all getting ready for christmas and it sounds like south dakota was pretty cool like always. That is awesome that tyler and meg moved into their new house now and the pictures are sick. Well this week has been pretty sweet and pretty crazy at the same time. We are going to have a white christmas here in the DR, well that is what we are calling it. We are going to have a baptism christmas eve and we are baptising the husband of a lady we baptized a month ago and it is so cool to see the changes that they have made in their lives. And now we have been teaching their daughter and her husband too so we will see with them but it is really cool and this family is really cool. We also have started teaching this lady and her husband and they are from peru. And when we taught them about the Book of Mormon it just seemed to click with them and they have been reading and have been learning a ton so we are excited to continue teaching them. Also tomorrow is transfers and my comp elder peterson is leaving to san jaun which is way out in the campo, which means like really close to haiti so he is excited for that and my new comps name is elder king and I will meet him tomorrow but it has been good with peterson here we have gotten a lot done here in bayona and me and my new comp are going to continue to keep the work and going the way it has been here. So I am excited for that and I told mom but I am going to call probably in the afternoon on sunday, so I am excited to talk to you all I love ya and I will talk to you on sunday.

So that is crazy about the windstorms in bountiful and the trees being uprooted and all the tipped semis. Must have been pretty sketchy driving down to st. george like that. That is awesome that meg and tyler about to move into there house, that is crazy that it is already built by now. Also, that´s wierd that heathers car got broken into you got to be careful up there in Logan you never know whats going to happen ha anyways this week has been sweet down here, me and my comp made some goals to try and talk to as many people as we could and to share the gospel as many as we can. it has been sweet we have been talking to everything and sharing a little bit about the gospel and ask if they want us to come back and share. we have ment so many more people this week and have started teaching a whole lot more too. So, a couple weeks ago we baptized a woman named elvira and I sent a picture of her home she is probably like 40 and she´s got a family. Well we have been teaching her husband and her daughter now, and the other day in one of our lessons we were talking about the steps of the gospel and we got to baptism and we have asked him before if he would be willing to get baptized and this time when we asked he said "I already made up my decision, I am getting baptized." Him and his wife have been going to church together for the last couple weeks and they just seem so much happier and there whole family seems so much happier too. Elvira´s daughter is really smart and  we are hoping she will accept the gospel too, but they have been really cool to be teaching. But yeah the DR is getting all ready for Christmas right now, you should see some of their decorations! the put up all these homemade decorations hanging from the buildings over the streets of like CD´s and all sorts of cheap stuff but it actually looks really cool I will send some pictures home of it. Other than that we are just looking to find more people that we can bring to the knowledge of the gospel and to the happiness that comes from it. Just remember Coca-Cola DISFRUTALO!
