Hey everyone hope you all had a great week! My week was so good but so slow too. First week of the new transfer is always the tough one. But man am I glad it's Pday. So basically in the nicest way possible my parents told me my emails are getting boring. So today will be better I promise.
First things first, my companion! His name is Elder Zevallos and he is from Canada but his parents are from Peru so he is actually fluent in English and Spanish. It is awesome. It is funny cause if you know me I laugh at a lot of things. I feel like I have a pretty fun personality. This dude does not laugh, but he is still so funny. He just says all the funny things in the most serious way and it kills me. But so far so good with him. We teach pretty well together and I can for sure feel the spirit in all of our lessons. Hopefully we keep this up!
So basically my new area is Utah in the DR. It is so dry here and so hot and also just reminds me of home way more then other areas. Yes, the houses are still shacks, the language is Spanish most of the time (There are millions of Haitians here cause I live like a 1 hour drive away from Haiti and they all speak Creole.) The food isn't Taco Amigo, but the mountains/hills are like dry and look like some random mountain and hills in Utah so that was fun. Yesterday we drove to a conference in Monte Cristi and we drove by soo many hayfields and it just felt like I was driving through Spanish Fork or Payson it was pretty fun. I enjoyed it to say the least.
As far as teaching goes we are actually teaching quite a few people. We have this one girl named Yulisa who we found cleaning out our area book. She was talking to the missionaries a while ago but went to Santo Domingo so they lost contact with her. We picked her back up and I honestly have a great feeling about her. She is so interested and we are gonna work hard with her. So other than her we are teaching a butt load of Haitians. They all live in this crazy part of town with a dirt road and no lights and at nighttime the stars SHINE! It is so cool and super sketchy lol. My comp and I can't decide if a flashlight is good for us because without one we can't see a thing but with one people can see us. haha tough debate. But the Haitians are so cool. Problem is they really need the law of chastity in their lives. I would dare say 9/10 women are pregnant. But it is okay that is why we are here, to help them accept and live the gospel!
Now for my apartment. This place is SOOOO nice!! By far the nicest house I have had on the mission. It is so big on the 3rd level and has 2 bathrooms that function. Only problem is when we wash clothes it floods the whole house basically so that kinda sucks. But hey life goes on.
Hope this email was good! I love and miss you all. Play some golf for me...Wait I heard it is basically the Ice Age over there in Utah.. Sorrry ;)
