WEEK 49

This week is called ¨Good memories¨

Well the first week with my son, Elder Faalogo, has been a success! He is an amazing missionary already! He has taught me so much about the mission even though I have a year on him! I am so grateful for my chance that I have to train! I understand why they have the titles ¨Dad¨ as the trainer because I feel like a Dad sometimes. I have to correct, direct and protect this new little missionary (Even though he isn't very little!!) But one of my favorite moments this week is when I got a call from Claritza and Maritza! They are doing wonderful! Claritza is ward missionary and will be going to the temple for THE 2ND TIME in July to do baptisms! They told me they miss me a lot! It made me feel super proud! I honestly can say just the baptism of them made my whole mission! They are so amazing! We have 2 baptisms planned for this Saturday! We will be baptizing Karina and Judy! They are both wonderful women! I love them so very much! Well that's all for this week! I love you all and have a great week!

WEEK 48

HE IS TRAINING!!!
He started his email by saying he needed to tell me something embarrassing. He said he was pregnant last week! He has a Son! He couldnt be happier. He didnt have time for a weekly email but said he loves you all and appreciates all your support! He is doing good!!! His new companion is Elder Faalago from New Zealand and he loves him already!

WEEK 47

This week is called ¨Scripture Power¨

This week has been great! I can honestly say that the lord is blessing me for all the effort I am putting in here in Puerto Plata! We had some great numbers and our Investigators are progressing! I am super grateful to be here in the mission! Time is also flying by super fast and I don't know what to do so I don't feel rushed here in the mission! Judy, our golden investigator, had to change her date because her mom got operated on and she wanted her mom to see her get baptized so she will be getting baptized the 28th. She is super amazing. We were about to leave the last week and we were planning our next appointment with her and right as we were walking out the door, she looks at us all disappointed and is like ¨Are you guys going to give me something to read or something to do?¨ Haa we forgot to give her homework and she was super disappointed! She is honestly so awesome! I love the mission so much! My testimony has been strengthened a ton this last week! I love it here! I hope you all have a great week! Love and miss you all!

Week 46

 This week is called "TYGAR LIVIN' "

This week has been pretty great. I have worked my butt of so that these 6 fechas for this month actually happen. We have 2 weddings in the next 2 months to plan for so lets hope they happen! We changed the date for Judy to the 14th of this month because she is working super hard to learn. Also, Maria, one of the investigators, stopped drinking coffee without us even telling  here why she needs to. She is way awesome too and has such a desire to get baptized. Haha we only teach women, I hope that's not a problem! I love life here! Time is flying by and it kinda spooks me! But I am working hard so I know things will work out well! I hope all is well back home and everyone is enjoying their summer! I am sweating super hard because its 10000000 degrees with 10000000 percent humidity! Have a great week!
