ENRIQUILLO

Dear Fam,

Well this week has been really good. I recieved one of the packages today with all the photos and the cd and stuff it was awesome! thanks momma. Also, we have just been going hard each day trying to find people to teach the message with. And we are starting to find some investigaders. We are teaching one kid that is 13 and his older sister is a member and wants to go on a mission. But this week we taught the plan of salvation and we really explained it well. Like we took about an hour expaining the plan of salvation with scriptures and everything. We told him about the three degrees of glory and that the only way to make it to the highest degree is through repentance and baptism, and then we asked him what he is going to do? and without pausing he said I am going to repent and be baptized, and be saved. I kind of chuckled to myself,because of the way he responded but he was sincere about it so we will be setting up a date for him to get baptized sometime soon here. We also have started teaching these two families that are really cool and have a lot of interest  in the message and they have been reading a lot. So we are starting to get things started here in Enriquillo, and we still our talking to a bunch of new people each day so we sould be finding some more people soon. Also, this saturday Elder Bednar is coming to speak to our mission, and we are all really excited to hear him. There are some big things that are going to start happening in our mission. We don´t know exactly what is going to happen but we know something big is coming. They have been opening up new areas that have never had missionaries there before and in the last two transfers the mission has grown by almost 30 more missionaries and we are supposed to grow even more this next transfer. Also, there isn´t a single stake outside of santo Domingo, or the city. And we are pretty sure they will be opening up a stake out in the south, as it is called. The south is everything that is west of Santo domingo in our mission. Basically, think of it as what we call the south in the states, that is what it is like out in the ¨south¨ here. So it is pretty crazy that they are opening up a stake out there. So all and all everything is going really well here and i guess we will see what happens. Anyways it sounds like everything is going really well at home and I hope you all are finally getting some snow. Well I love you all
