Dear family and friends,

Well it sounds like it was a pretty crazy week last week and that a lot of things happened. I feel it for the Tidwell family and I will keep them in my prayers and also grandpa. It is a hard situation but as we put our faith in Christ we can overcome any trial or any hardship because he already has, I believe that with all my heart. Anyways, this week has been an awesome week. We found this guy named Papo he is from a pentecostal church but we were contacting and when we knocked his door he said come in come in. So we went in and started teaching him and he was actually really open to the message and we told him that if he truly wants to then he needs to pray and that God will give him an answer. So we left him a pamphlet and we went back and he had read the whole pamphlet and had prayed and told us that he felt good when he prayed but didnt know if he had truly recieved an answer and we told him that he just needs to continue praying and learning more and more and that the answer will come. So we left him the pamphlet of the plan of salvation and when we came back he had read the whole pamphlet and we explained to him the plan of salvation, and he said you guys explain it so much more and it makes so much more sense now. He said that he truly enjoys our message and is going to keep praying and is going to visit our church next sunday so I am way excited for him and have been praying a lot lately for him to get an answer. Once he gets his answers he will go forward not worrying about what other people think, he is that kind of guy and he will be very strong. So I am way excited for him but I wont be able to be here to see him go forward I recieved a call last night and I am getting transfered back to the capital the place is called Los Alcarizos. I am sad to have to say bye to everybody here but I am happy for this new experience that I will have over there to do the work the way the Lord needs it done. So today I have been packing up a lot and tonight I will go around and tell everybody goodbye and then tomorrow at 5 oclock in the morning I will get on a bus and go back to the capital. My days on the beach are coming to an end haha but I cant help but think about how much I have learned here in this small branch in Barahona and how close I have ended up getting with the people here. Well the email is a little short this week because some people from the branch are going to feed us, a going away dinner I guess. But anyways I love you all and next week I will feel you all in on my new area. Have a great week this week and count your blessings!
