Well, sounds like you all had an awesome week this last week! First off, Happy birthday kenzi and Jack and congrats on the upcoming baptism! All the grandkids are getting big and just keep getting older and older, the time just keeps going by way too quick. Well, this week was an awesome week for me, first off i got a new comp and he is from salvador a pretty cool kid. We had another lesson with Claudia and we decided to put her baptism for last saturday, so on saturday she got baptized. Her baptism was super cool, her sister, that isnt a member, showed up and really liked the baptism so we are going to start teaching her. Claudia has really changed a lot since when we first starting teaching her. She really has recieved a strong testimony, and it just shows because of everything she has changed to be able and ready to be baptized, it was an awesome baptism. Also, a lot of our investigadors showed up for the baptism and it was really spiritual and it got them all excited to get baptized. One of them that showed up is named Bolivar he has a family with 3 girls and a grandchild, they are pretty poor but he supports them all by doing all sorts of different kinds of work. He really is just a good guy, a lot of guys here dont support their families and have kids in all different places and dont even know what their kids are doing, so for him to settle down and support the family just shows that he is a good guy. Well on tuesday we had an awesome lesson with him and we talked about how he needs to ask in prayer what the Lord wants him to do. The lesson was super powerful and the spirit was definitely felt, and he commited to a baptismal date on the 10 of November. When we asked him if he is willing to get baptized by someone that holds the true priesthood of God, he paused and thought about it for a second and then he said, yes I am going to get baptized. After that he has came to all the church activities and is really progressing a lot. We also are teaching two kids of a recent convert and they are going to get baptized on the 10th also and another kid that moved out here from the capital and is living with his grandma and his uncle and they are both active members here in the ward so they gave us the referal and we have been teaching him and he will be getting baptized on the 10th too. So the 10th looks like it should be a pretty good day i am hoping that with the Lords help we can get all of them completly prepared to take on the sacred covenant of baptism. Things here on the rise and we should be bringing a lot of new people into the fold of God this transfer. Also, this week we are going to go to the temple! It will be my second time here in the DR going to the temple. I am pretty stoked, but we will have to take a bus for a little over 3 hours to get back to the Santo Domingo at like 4 in the morning, it for sure will be worth it though. Well, i am going to send some photos of the baptism and preparing for the baptism. Anyways I hope you guys have a good week this week and that everybody is having fun back there at home, I love you all.
