Week 49: Just asked for a million dollars, but everything will be okay!

Group July 10, 2017

Well another 2 weeks has been down since I have written a big email. Sorry I didn´t send one last week. My P'Day was really weird and didn´t have the opportunity to take the time to write a group e'mail. Other then that though everything is going great! 

Last P'Day I hit 11 months here on the mission. We have been working hard here in Barahona. We have been contacting a lot because there are not to many progressing investigators here. We are also trying to work with the members for references but so far we haven´t received to many. 

My companion had to go out to the capital which is like 4 hours away on Wednesday and Thursday so that meant I was stuck in a triple companionship. I was not down for that so I made some serious calls and got members to leave with me the 2 days so I could work in my area and I even found 6 new people in those two days! That was fun but I was glad to get my companion back. 

We also started a English class here that went pretty well the first time. We invite everyone and their mom to activities and church but no one comes here. The people here are pretty lazy from what I can see. If you leave them a commitment to do in there house like read something small they will do it. Once you ask them to walk two blocks down you just asked for a million dollars! But there are people here who will make the sacrifice for their salvation. 

On Sunday after church my companion had to go back to the capital for his visa because he´s illegal at the moment and if he leaves like this the country will charge him $100. There was another guy in my house who also had to go so I stayed with his companion. 

This P-Day has been really slow though because we are just playing card and eating but it is nice to just chill out. 

My knowledge and testimony is growing every day! On Saturday when we got the call that my companion had to leave again I wasn´t happy because of splits. I really don´t like splits because one it´s usually not in my area and two I don´t know how the other missionary teaches. I was kind of stressed out about that but I prayed for help and I felt this feeling in my heart that everything will go okay. In the end I just went to the other guys area like I thought but I felt in my heart that I didn´t need to be stressed out about it. These past two weeks have been fast and pretty fun to be honest. The mission is flying by and it is so cool to hear family and friends leaving on their missions too! I hope you guys have a great week!

Love,
