Week 41

sorry, im really pissed right now, i just typed my whole message and the power went out here... something im not going to miss about the internet centers in the DR...

so now rewritten in a shorter way, we did the following this week....

had the white night, 6 people got baptized including one of our investigators named edward, he is a super stud! we also sang my mashup of the nearer to thee at home, the stake president liked it, just was bummed we werent baptizing more people....

all is good though, we are keeping the faith this week that all the companionships in the zone will baptize this month, we know the Lord is preparing people, we just have to find them.

we played basketball today, indoor wood court, super fun, we are super out of shape though ;) haha elder zamora and I balled hard, super good time.

the work is going good, im learning tons from president Corbitt, he is such an amazing servant of our Heavenly Father, His faith and testimony is so strong, as well as his worldy knowledge, he has taught me so much, loving working more with him now.

we didnt have water for a few days, always fun when you cant flush the toilet for a few days..... we showered with the bucket, good time always ;) haha 

we shared out of the book of mormon more than ever this week, really fun to teach out of it, instead of just talking about the bible every day, that little blue book is our best friend, i have a testimony of its truth, which means Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, which means that God and Jesus Christ exist, and that thier eternal truths are found here on the earth today. no wonder its so important to read the BOM every day!

all is good, sorry its a shorter version, again, the power situation here is a rough one, have patience and know that all is well, love you all, i pray for you every day :)

keep the faith, READ; PONDER; AND PRAY!

Week 40

President Corbitt,

Well, what can I say, this week has been one of the craziest of my missions so far, changing areas, becoming a zone leader, not to mention i almost drove your car ;) haha i knew the holy ghost was telling me not to! But it's been really fun working towards the goal that every companionship baptizes in our zone this month, and in the mission as well. so far it sounds like all are doing really well, the only ones that we are a little worried about are Alma Rosa B and Las Americas 2A, they have a date or 2, but they have the most difficulties, mainly with papers for matrimony, but we know and have the faith, as you said, that this is something the Lord is ready to bless us with, and we are striving to be worthy and ready to receive this blessing. Also, we are really excited for the white night coming up this sunday, should be a full night, we are planning on bringing 2 People, Edward and Endira, they are preparing themselves right now. all is going really well, we are seeing miracles every day, we are working hard, never been so tired, yet so involved in the work of the mission, and Im loving it. thank you for this growing opportunity, I hope to fulfill my calling to the fullest.

and yes i almost did drive presidents car, we had to do some baptismal interviews and to save time, president was gonna let me take his car with elder zamora, my new comp, but i didnt feel like it was a good idea, i mean i have crashed 3 times before the mission, and i havent practiced for 9 months! haha so it didnt happen,

but I did get assigned as a Zone Leader in the zone of OZAMA, and the area of San Vicente, its in the city still, we have a mall in our area, pretty cool. i miss training Elder Palma, we didnt have nearly enough time together, but gotta do what they tell ya. my comp is Elder Zamora from Texas, he has 2 weeks as Zone leader as well, so we are trying to figure this out together ;) haha he only has 4 months left in the mission though, his is a stud, won his highschool football state championship, has a girlfriend, plays the guitar, and is planning on going to BYU I after the mish, cool guy!

we went to the temple as a Zone, we planned the activity and it went well, almost everyone brought investigators, president Corbitt made it out to speak to us, and we enjoyed the time together, we brought a teen named edward who is getting baptized this week, super stud!

also did divisions with Elder Thacker my buddy from Hainamosa, my first zone, we slept on the roof in his area in San Pedro, more or less in the country, way cool experience, that was the night we completed 9 months in the mission ;) good times!

all is well, loving the work, not getting to bed until 11:30 now for all the work we have to do, but like i said, its taking away the time to think about home and get trunky, so its a blessing :)

Love you all, hope all is well, shout out to my new baby Cousin Tyson Reeve Palmer!!! I love you buddy! :)

until Next week!
