Baptisms!!

Wow time in the mission is really flying! at times it feels like this is going to be my life for the rest of my life but whenever we get a baptism it just makes things a lot better! So this Saturday we are baptizing these two girls that are 10 and 11 and they are some of the coolest little girls that you will ever meet! They are super smart and are really excited to get baptized! Me and my companion Elder Harris are working really hard and we are trying to work with the members in this area right now so that they know the importance of references! its really tough to do missionary work just contacting everyday and getting people telling you that they are already Christians or that they have their own church or one of my favorites is when you say ¨Hola¨ they say Adios! Things are a lot tougher here in La Romana but i can see that this ward would be amazing if they could just get their ward to actually start doing things and putting an effort in to try and help out. Back in Boca Chica, the members would actually correlate to go and visit the less active members which then would show the less actives that the ward cared about them and they would come back! but this ward doesn´t really help out at all and they never have references which are key to missionary work! You can go contact all day and not find one person but you can go to a members house, have a really spiritually scripture, and ask them for a reference and then go to that reference and usually 75% of the time it turns into a baptism. The reason being is because that person is ready to hear the gospel and they have been prepared! Its amazing to see how missionary work/life is when you are really living it! Anyhoo i hope everyone is enjoying the spring weather back home and just know that i miss every single one of you! yes that means you!! Love you guys!

Love,

Elder Herring
