Dear Family and Friends,

Well this week has been an awesome week! Looks like it was a pretty awesome week for you guys too. With all of the pumpkin carving and all of those apples and apple juice, and topping it all off with a hot dog roast, that is just a great time. Well everything is going really good, just seeing lots of miracles happening here in the area. So first off our mission president has given us a new schedule we usually go and knock doors during the days and then look for referrals at night and he told us that we should go look for referrals during the day and knock doors at night so we can find families all together in there houses. So we decided to put presidents new schedule to the test. So we left the house after lunch and went to a members house to find a referral and it just so happens to be that there was a guy there with the member family talking. So we started talking to him and he said to us, Hey i would like to learn a little bit more about your church and maybe one day i will join your church, so we will see what happens with him. And then the member family told us about another family that lives behind them that were asking them about the church and that they want to learn more about our church. So we received two referrals right off the bat. And then we went to another member families house and received 3 more referrals. For the past 6 weeks we have received 1 referral from the branch and then to receive 5 in one day is quite the miracle! Then in the nights these week we have been teaching and knocking doors and we have found a bunch of cool people. So our president really received an awesome revelation for the mission and i think the work here will start getting even better. Another miracle that happened was with Claudia. So this whole time while we have been teaching she has been looking for work and hasn't been able to find anything. She was really worried about finding work and about moving before her baptism and for this she didn't want to accept a date for baptism. Then we had a lesson with her and we explained to her that if she would put her faith and trust in God and take the step of faith and show God that she really has faith that he would bless her. Well she took the step of faith and got baptized and yesterday her 2nd Sunday after her baptism a lady from the branch asked her if she would come work at her house and be the nanny and that she would pay her and everything. She was very relieved that she finally found work and I told her, Claudia, i told you when you put your trust in God and go forth with faith, he always provides the way and i told her to never forget what happen. So that was a pretty cool little miracle, also on thursday we went to the temple, it was 6 hours worth of a bus ride but it was totally worth it. I love the temple, there is such an awesome spirit there that you cant explain. So it was a great trip, all and all life is great here in Barahona doing the Lords work and helping others to come unto Christ. Anyways I hope you all guys have a good week this week, love ya all.
