Holy Week

This week was a little slow, but it was still good. Holy week in the DR is crazy! I feel like it's more celebrated than Christmas, which is kind of cool. 

We were able to baptize our 3 friends Caroline, Harry, and Richard. It was an amazing experience getting in the ocean. The water was warm and it was just a beautiful place. They are super good kids and I am excited to see what their future will look like in the church. 

This week we have had some crazy things happen. One of our friends told us she was struggling with depression and other self harm thoughts and we used that as a way to teach her about covenants and the baptismal covenant. She seem interested in making a covenant relationship with God and now has a baptismal date for the 27th of April. We hope she can progress well towards that date so her life can change. 

We met some more cool friends and taught some people who have interesting stories, but always end up having so much interest in learning more about Christ. Our friend Ambioris is one of the guys who has CRAZY stories and we don't know how true they are, but has already started to read the Book of Mormon and claims he will finish it this year. I hope that he does.

Also wanted to say thanks for all the Birthday shoutouts! 20 years old is kinda cool to say haha. Love you all! 

Sorry for the short email just don't have much to say this week. 

Hope you have a great week!
