Bonao

What's up everyone?!? I had a pretty good week and life is good! I am really starting to love Bonao which is good. Makes the mission a lot better when you love your area. 

First things first we have a lot of potential baptisms, but all of them have so many different struggles. One of them is a kid named Marcos. Marcos is 17 almost 18 and his mom does not let him breath. She won’t let him walk on the street alone cause she says he has mental problems, but I promise he doesn't, the mom is causing him to have problems cause she is so over protective. So we are trying really hard to break the mom’s shell. 

Other than Marcos we have a girl named Christian we are teaching. She is a really nice lady who LOVES to talk which is good but like wow it is hard to not fall asleep in those lessons. She has a lot of problems in her life right now so we are gonna move her baptismal date and just try to help her with ward members. She told us the last time we were there that she was thinking about going to a girls house who cheated with her husband and bringing a machete. We hope she doesn't do that lol. 

I had my first District Council this week and it was fun. I have a district with 2 Elders and 4 hermanas. They are all super cool and good missionaries. The Elders are goated and one of the hermanas is from Jamaica so that is lit. I have loved being a DL so far, but it is kinda nerve wracking haha. I love Spanish but I hate speaking it in front of other missionaries. It is a weird fear I have. Also I officially hit 10 months on the mission so that is cool! 

Love you all so much. I am jealous of summer and not being able to golf everyday. I miss home kinda a lot at times, but I am always reminded of how important the Lord’s work is.
