Enriquillo

Wow well this week has been crazy. Me and Elder Brezack got transfered into enriquillo. it used to be a two man area and now they just made it a 4 man area. Elder Brezack is from Nebraska and is basically the only mormon from nebraska too ha just messing but he is really cool. Also i live with elder Morgan, he played football at idaho state before the mission and his dad owns a huge cattle ranch up in idaho, i love hearing his stories about the ranch his uncle owns a business called Morgan Hay too. I dont know if any of you have heard of it but it sounds familiar for some reason. And I am living with my first dominican now his name is elder Chapman and he is really cool so we are having fun. Anyways, mom I think when you looked on the map you looked at Enriquillo de Barahona, which is right on the beach and out in the country. But I got transfered to Enriquillo de San Geronimo, which is basically smack dab in the middle of the city. And people are super rich here. They live in big mansions and apartments and everything is really nice. I think this is as close as you can get to a state side mission while still being in the Dominican Republic. We have been knocking on a ton of doors these last couple days trying to get new investigadors but the people here are a lot quicker to reject the message of the gospel, its alot different than Bayona where everyone was really accepting. But the upside is that this is the most organized ward and strongest members i have seen here on the mission. Yesterday we had ward council meeting and in Bayona ward council meeting consisted of the bishop maybe one of his counselors and the missionaries. here we had the bishop all of his counselors, two secretaries, a president from every organization. And probably some other people because the room was packed. And then they talked for and hour and 45 minutes it was crazy! Also i have a ward mission leader for the first time on the mission too. So that is the upside. The ward has been giving us lots of references and I think we will be working a lot more with the ward in this area. I am really excited to get some stuff going here and get to working. So thats whats going on right now. Well it sounds like you all have had a pretty fun week up in island park AND with everything that is goiNg oN. Well i love you all And have a good wEek.
