Comp Got Lost!

Hey everyone! The weeks seem to be going by slow, but this one went a little quicker than normal. 

Tuesday we had District Council in Nagua and then we started our exchange with the Elders of Progreso. Elder Barney from Cali came to Samaná with me and my comp went to Nagua. The exchange went great and we had a super good time. Well Wednesday my comp and Elder Williams got on a bus at 10:30 to come to Samaná to finish the exchange. About half an hour after they had gotten on the bus I asked them to send me their location. I looked at it and they were HALFWAY to Santo Domingo. So then I called the AP’s and told them and they were like "bruhhh" haha so basically Santo Domingo is outside our mission boundaries and so it was kind of a big deal, but in the end it didn't matter they were fine. Just made our exchange 2 days instead of 1 day. So Thursday we switched back. 

Apart from that we had a decent week. The work here in Samaná is really really slow. We have a solid 3 active priesthood holders in the group and about 7 total active members. We are trying so hard to baptize and bring new people into the fold but there is also a massive necessity to bring back inactive members! It is fun work out here, it's just different. 

One miracle we have seen is a recent convert named Manuel. He has been a member for about 10 months and is so cool. He wants to help build up this group. He is so vulnerable and has shared many personal things with us and we are just hoping to help him turn to Christ. He is starting to come to church weekly cause he says it’s the only 2 hours of peace he feels during his weeks. 

I love this church so much and I know it is true. Jesus Christ lives and guides this Church. President Russell M. Nelson is His true prophet in these latter days. I hope all of you have been making effort and time for the temple. 

Hope ya’ll have a good week!

Elder Wilde.
