Hot! Hot! Hot!

This week has been HOT!!!!! Every one said it would cool down in October. They lied =) But besides that it was a pretty great week. The mission is never easy but I am so blessed. One of the things I love most about being a missionary is watching people take steps of faith. I love it when I teach a principle (really the Spirit teaches it), and then despite their fear or lack of knowledge they follow it and then watch miracles happen in their lives.

The DR doesn’t have a Halloween equivalent but I get 4 months of Christmas! Yayyy!!!! One of the families in the branch said her kids want to celebrate Halloween because they see it on TV, so I think we are going to carve watermelons with them and a friend of theirs tonight. 

Transfers are next week. It’ll be interesting to see what happens. 

I am very blessed. I love you guys soooo much!!!

The Dominican Republic has this wonderful invention called colmados. They're like little corner stores with all the basic needs and they're open usually from 7 to 10, perfect for

missionary hours! The best thing is that every neighborhood has at least 4 and most deliver. For free!!! the US really needs colmados. Anytime we need something and we don't want to go to the store we just call the local colmado. I love this picture. If you look closely the receipt says Mormonas.
