Dear Family and Friends,

Well it sounds like you guys had a good week this last week. I hope that all went good with Caitlyn´s talk and that all went well up there in Rexburg. It sounds like it has been a pretty busy week and that things are starting to warm up a bit up there. Well this week was a great week for us down here in the DR. On tuesday we went out and had a great day of work, some of the investigator are progressing really well and we are just trying to help them come unto Christ and have faith in Him, repent, be baptized, receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and preserve until the end. Some of our investigators are really making big changes in their lives so that they will be able to receive the saving ordinances of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. For example, we have been teaching this guy named Martin and he was a referral that we received a month or two ago. And at first he had the desire to learn but I feel like he was going to church and everything more out of his friendships that he had with the people that gave him to us as a reference and not because it was truly his desire. But we kept teaching him to see if he would receive his own testimony of the restored gospel and the teaching went slow when we started but he kept going to church so we kept teaching him and at first we couldn't get him to read the pamphlets or anything that we were leaving and it seemed like he was just kind of going through the motions. Well the last couple lessons that we have had with him he has read all of the pamphlets and has explained all of them to us and is going to church and has been completing with all of his commitments and we set a baptismal date with him and he should be getting  baptized next transfer. Also, Maria is still progressing right a long and also has a baptismal date for next transfer. We are going to get transfer calls on Sunday and I got a feeling like I might be leaving Los Alcarrizos, if so it would be difficult because we are teaching some really cool people that have a lot of potential, but we will see what the Lord wants. Also, on Wednesday we went to the temple, it was my 3rd and last time in the mission. It was super awesome, the spirit was definitely felt in the lord´s house and it was great to go and receive the spiritual nourishment of the temple, it was a great temple trip. On Thursday, we received two referrals, it was a couple. The couple are the father and mother in law of the stake secretary, that lives in our ward. He went to do visits with us on Thursday and he asked us if we would have time to past by their house and share with them and we told him yes and went and visited them. They seem really cool, the stake secretary says that he has been waiting for the right moment to give them as referrals and he feels like right now is the right time. So it feels good to know that we have the trust and the confidence of the members for them to give us their family as referrals. Most of our good progressing investigators are family members of the members here in our ward. So the work is progressing here in Los Alcarrizos, we are staying super busy and Im just enjoying the moment. I love you all and I hope you all have a good week.
