Happy New Years!

Well I have been through my first christmas and new years here in the DR and it is crazy here. People party through all the night on the streets and we always have to be into our apartment early on these days. New Years eve people had a big party right outside our apartment on the street and they started there music at like 3 pm and when we left for church at 9 in the morning they still had there music going and were still partying, so it was pretty hard to sleep with how loud it was that night but other than that it was alright. When we got back from church they were starting to shut the party down, so all went well. Also this week was a good week we have been teaching a lot people that are really interested in the gospel and to hear the message of it. right now we are teaching like 4 people that all need to get married and that is like the only thing that is holding them back so we have been working at that. We are teaching this one peruvian lady and her boyfriend and they read everything that we leave them and have questions written down for everytime we visit them, and they are really learning so much, and have lots of excitment for the the gospel so it is really cool to see. Yesterday, in church the stake president talked in our ward and he talked about the importance of a prophet. and the 13 points of the prophet. One of the points is that a living prophet is more important than a dead prophet because he leads and guides us in this day and warns us against the dangers in these days. and the talk was so awesome for the people down here because they either think that the bible is the only thing we can go from or that we are all prophets. And the talked showed me of the importance of reading the liahona and the general conference addresses because then we can read the prophets and apostles words. Anyways i hope all is going well this new year and I love you all.
