I cant believe it but ive already made it through one transfer in the mission field! that transfer flew by and i only have 15 more to go! so this week has been way crazy. We just got 2 more missionaries put into our house so now we have a 4 missionary house and that is super interesting! one of the new missionaries goes home in july and the other one came here to the DR with me so its fun to see the difference and to just have more company! ive finally figured out that i can have a good breakfast and so now every morning i make pancakes and then get some eggs once in awhile to go with it! oh and we have 2 investigators that are pretty much members already but we are just waiting to get their papers that says that the husband got divorced from this other lady that lived in the states. One thing about the DR is that NOBODY is married!! every says that they are just boyfriend and girlfriend and so they just live together for awhile until they get tired of each other and then move on. but hopefully we can get those papers this week so we can get them married and then baptized! we also have 4 other investigators that are progressing and we are having a movie night tonight for family home evening at the church with all of our investigators and we are going to watch the restauration! im excited for that! oh and some other news that happened this week is that we had 4 broken down bikes in our garage and we decided to fix them all so now we all have our own bikes and that makes things so much easier!!! apparently from what ive been hearing, this is the only area in the whole mission that uses bikes so ive got it good right now! i am seriously so blessed to be in this area that im in right now and im so grateful that i was able to start out here for my first few transfers! My companion has now been in this area for 6 transfers, which is a bunch! but he´s still working and we are still having a lot of success! i decided to buy a yoga mat so now im doing my own version of P90x ab ripper every night so hopefully ill start having some good results!! haha well hey thank you all for always being there for me and i hope everyone back home is doing good! Just know that if you are having a hard time, turn to the lord and pray. it may sound dumb but i promise you that you will see a huge difference!! Love you all!

Love,
