Transfer News

Hey everyone I hope you all had a great week! My week was filled to the top with stuff which made it go by pretty quick. I'll start with the fun stuff first. I am getting a new comp Elder Udy. I don't know him but he has less time on the mission than me so I will be the Senior Companion. Excited for another chance to grow my Spanish and work hard. 

This last week was honestly a pretty good week. It all started out with Tuesday when I went to Santo Domingo to become a resident of the DR!! wahoo. Only temporary but hey still kinda cool. Santo Domingo is beautiful and full of anything you can think of. Far more developed than the city of Santiago. But it was fun to go down there with some of my buddies in the mission. We had a good time and it was a nice little break from the work. 

As far as the missionary work goes it is going pretty good. We are teaching this family right now which is pretty rare to teach a whole family and they all came to church yesterday we were sooo happy. The dad is named Neydo and he is a legend. He has a lot of questions about the church and I just pray that me and my broken Spanish answers them good enough. In all reality it doesn't matter cause I know the Spirit is doing the talking. But we plan to visit them a lot this week and hopefully teach them with our Bishop and his wife. I know that gospel blesses families in incredible ways and I really want Neydo and his family to experience these blessings. 

We are also teaching a guy named Jose Juaquin. He is pretty cool but for sure a little different. His dad is a member so that is how he got in contact with us. He is trying to turn his life around and what better way to do so than by talking with the missionaries. He likes to sing us songs that he calls hymns but I haven't ever heard them in the Hymn book ;) It is rather awkward but we just sit there and let it happen. We are hoping to get him a baptismal date this week. 

As far as Spanish goes everyday it improves. I have been getting a lot of compliments on it which is nice and all, but low key the worst cause then I feel pressure to be good haha. I feel like I speak a lot better than I understand. Hopefully this next transfer I will make a big leap in the language part of the mission. One of our investigators kinda roasted my comp and I felt bad lol She said that I speak a lot more clear and I have less time and it was just awkward. But other than that Spanish is just Spanish. 

I don't really think there is much more from me this week. It is my Dads birthday this week on the 25th. Make sure you reach out and say Happy Birthday he loves attention. Gonna make this birthday the best one yet. Love you dad you are the GOAT.
