Well it sounds like everything is going really well back at home. The trip down to st. george, and going hiking sounds really fun. And also the jazz vs the nets that sounds awesome too. Its too bad the broncos got killed by the patriots, but for them to get to the playoffs and win is way good compared to last year. I kind of expected the aggies to not be as good this year because so many seniors left last year but my boy stew will get them into to shape. Anyways, everything down here is going really well. I had one of the best sundays of my mission yesterday. Sundays are basically the day when you see if your work is paying off. Because you can teach a lot of people down here and we try to commit most everybody to come to church each sunday. So we invite them to come and then on sunday morning we see who shows up. This sunday we had 6 progressing investigaders in church, which is really good and then we got a inactive lady to come back to church and then we shared with a whole family that hasn´t gone to church in over a year. we asked this family what was stopping them from going to church. And one of their biggest concerns was that the members would be asking questions like, Where have you been? and why havent you been coming to church? And we told them that that stuff might happen but that it would be more important for them to come back to church and take the sacarament and renew their covenants with the lord. And on saturday night they commited to come to church. And then on sunday the mom dad and all three kids were all dressed in their church clothes and were at church. And after sacarament metting the members basically mobbed them. Ive never seen anybody receive as many hugs as they did. Everybody was so happy that they came back to church because they really are such a cool family. And it was so cool to know that their biggest concern was that the members wouldn´t accept them to come back, but then the members did just what christ would do and they received them with open arms. It showed true christlike charity, and i was grateful that i got to witness that. Also this saturday Francisco is getting baptized he is this cool 65 year old man with the biggest heart that i have seen down here in the DR. We are super stoked for his baptism. And we have a lot of investigadors right now that are really close to getting baptized, most of them just have to get married first but we are working on that right now. But I hope everything keeps going well at home, and that you guys finally get some snow some time. I think the lord is saving up the snow for these two winters and then he is going to let it dump when i get back, just saying! HA anyways i love you all

love Elder Wadman
