What is up everyone?!? Hope you all had a great week. This week was actually super good and very interesting. 

This area here in Nagua has like 6 crazy people that we see everyday and wow they are truly insane out of their mind. But one of them scared the crap out of this week and also clutched big time. We were walking on the street contacting when we saw her. We turned and started to walk the other way very fast. My comp saw a little ally and said "Go right" so we went right and ran into this random lady who is probably like 23 and we said "Hey we are the missionaries for the Church .. (you know the drill) we would love to share a message with you." She was like okay so we shared the restoration and at the end I was going to give her a pamphlet but the restoration pamphlets are like gold right now because our mission is running out and the church doesn't have more rn, but anyways I was like here is a card with our number on it but then the spirit was like "Elder Wilde give her the pamphlet." So I did and when we returned she had read the WHOLE thing and even asked us "Who is Joseph Smith?" She is GOLD. She is so genuine and like my comp and I literally love her. She is like the best ever haha. But don't worry the story isn't over. When we left after our first contact the crazy lady was WAITING for us. she demanded we give her a pamphlet and I wasn't trying to get chased any longer so we gave her one of the pamphlets we have a lot of and ran. But basically moral of the story is god works in very many ways. Even if that means getting chased by a crazy to find a person waiting for the gospel. 

I don't know how many of you guys actually care to read the emails so I try to make them shorter then most haha. But other than that we have 3 baptismal dates with people but all of them are gonna be after this transfer. I really want to stay in Nagua so I think I might be doing some asking to President in my interview lol. 

Also last night was awesome. We got a huge compliment from one of my favorite members. Her name is Hermana Cuevas and she is gold. She always makes us dinner if we didn't eat it already, and she has a super strong testimony. Last night at her house she told us that she has worked with missionaries since she was a youth (she is in her 60's) and that she feels something different with my comp and I. She said that she can tell we work together and we serve with love. She also said to not change  after we get transferred. It was such nice compliment and made me feel like what I am doing is actually helping the ward here. 

Overall a great week. Lots of ups and downs but so fun. My Spanish is the goat some days and then the other days I don't understand a thing lol. But we just keep going. Love you all! This gospel is so true and if you think otherwise, you're wrong. Sorry but wow I love this church. Read the Book of Mormon and pray about it with sincerity and you'll know it is true. Have a great week!
