Dear family and friends,

Well you guys dont know but I just wrote this whole email and I accidentally hit a button and it all got erased so this is my second time writing it, so I will see if i can remember everything I wrote the first time. Anyways, first off Happy Birthday Grandpa! I dont know if he reads these but if not will you guys tell him that I say happy birthday. Well this week was an awesome week for us here in Los Alcarrizos. Yesterday, in church we had almost 10 of our investigators come for the whole 3 hours, most of them even got there early, which is something cool here because Dominicans are never on time for anything, theyve kind of just got that island no time feeling I guess. But one of the investigators that showed up was that Lady that I told you guys about last week. She is the one that found us in the street and told us to come back and visit her again. Well, we passed by her house on saturday and she was washing all the clothes and and cleaning her house and she told us that she was getting everything done so she would be ready for church on Sunday. And she showed up with her 2 kids and with her mom, that we are teaching too. She really liked church and I am pretty excited for her and her mom and their progression in the gospel. Also, there is another family that we are teaching and they are really cool but havent wanted to commit to doing very many things. So on Wednesday we had a pretty blunt lesson with them. We told them that they need to pray about what we are teaching and they need to receive their personal answers to the church, and that they need to meditate about if they have true desires to learn about and follow Christ. We left them with basically that thought in their minds, the spirit was felt and it was a good awakening lesson for them. Well, when we went back the next time the mom and the daughter had read the whole pamphlet and had prayed, they said that they werent sure if they have received an answer yet but they committed to go to church and then they went to church too. So I am pretty excited for them too and Im praying that they will receive the answer to their prayers. Also, we receive a referral this week and she is a single mom of 3 kids and it just seems like she has been trying to find the truth for a long time and we told her that the easiest way to recieve an answer is through praying and asking God. So we have some people that are really taking this stuff seriously and the ball is rolling her, Im just praying that they will receive the answers to their prayers and that they will commit to put the Lord first in their lives, just like Joshua when he says, as for me and my house we will serve the Lord. So Im pretty excited and I think we will be able to help the Lord bring forth His work down here this transfer. Anyways, everything is going really good for me down here, Im just enjoying this time that I have to serve the Lord full time. I hope everything is going good for you all back home. I love you all and have a good week.
