Hey!

This letter is going to be a short one, sorry! today my zone had an activity where we went to the river in their area, had lunch, and played ultimate Frisbee. Super fun, I have a ton of pictures to send ya'll I just aven't had time to send them. Sorry! Okay so before I forget Mothers Day, I was thinking about skyping at 5ish. We will see, but it'll be in the evening so be prepared haha. Things are going good here, we've set some goals as a companionship and as a district that we are hoping will help the branch. My companion and I are switching our focus on finding the less active members more than finding new investigators. One of our families is doing good, we had a lesson on The Family Proclamation and trying to get them motivated on marriage. So excited to see you on Sunday! Its good hearing from you!

Love,

Hey!

Things are going good. We are seeing little miracles, but miracles none the less here in Bonao. The members are trusting us enough that we got a reference whoohoo! Thats never happened in my time here, so thats definitely progress. This is also the first week that we haven't needed a taxi for appointments, we were able to cover our entire area, AND this was the first intercambios I had where no one was sick or injured. THATS a miracle in itself haha. We were all very suprised! The onoy thing I'm nervous about is its the middle of transfers and my companion still doesn't know some of the people here, where they live, or where we live haha. I never thought I would say this because this area is no cake walk, but I really hope to stay here one more transfer. I would feel bad to leave too soon, and leave my companion not knowing the people here. Of course sometimes our plans aren't the same as the Lords but, I will go wherever the Lord wants me to go. And mom that talk you read is by President Utchdorf, only those with a strong testimony would know that ;) haha just kidding. That one is a good one, I used it in one of my capacitations. I haven't gotten the package yet, but I'll let you know when I do!This week we also got to watch some of the primary kids while the members who were married had some marriage night lovey dovey activity, who knows what. But, it reminded me of my little sunbeam class! It was so much fun, insane, but fun. Its good to hear how everyone is doing, love and miss ya'll too! Your always in my prayers! Take advantage of the snow your getting mom!

love,
