Well today is Christmas eve and I know I will be talking to you tomorrow but I want to give a little update about these past two weeks. In these last two weeks I have been seeing the Lords hand in the work. Every day as we leave to go to to the street me and my comp ask the Lord to help us be lead to the chosen and elect people that are ready for the gospel in their lives. So about 3 weeks ago we found Ana, the one with the son on the mission, I have already explained a little bit about her but she has been going to church and has really been progressing. She even stopped drinking coffee before we had even taught her the word of wisdom. She has went and found all the paper work she needs to get married and we are planning on have the wedding at about the first part of January, probably a little after Heather and chases wedding haha. And then she will be getting baptized on January 19th so everything is on track with her right now. We also found this other 20 year old kid named Scrailin about 2 weeks ago and last week he committed to a baptismal date and will be getting baptized on January 26th. After the lesson when we put the baptismal date he told us that he had been praying a lot and that he knows that the church is true and that he wants to prepare himself for his baptism. So the other missionaries in our district were have a baptism on saturday and scrailin came and really liked the baptismal service and then he went to church on Sunday and then he came to an activity this morning with us and the young men, so everything is right on track with him too. We have been finding a lot of elect people and the missionary work is really getting rolling here in Los Alcarrizos. I am hoping that the Lord will continue to lead us to the elect people. Just like yesterday we found this guy that has a big family and he told us that he used to share with the missionaries and that he used to go to church. He told us that he really likes our message but that 3 years ago the missionaries that were teaching him were taken out of the area and no one went back to go find this guy and to keep teaching him and his family. He knew a ton about the Book of Mormon and about the church, and his only question for us was why no one went out and kept teaching him when the 2 missionaries got transfered and that he has been waiting for missionaries to come back and start teaching him again. It was a really cool experience, to know that the Lord is helping us find these people that have been waiting for the gospel for so long. So that is what has been happening here in the DR lately. Well I am excited to talk to you guys tomorrow and I will be calling like 12-1 ish, anyways Ill talk to you all tomorrow love you all.
