Que lo que- thats the slang for whats up..

 Wellllll been a absolute crazy week i am now in the republica deminicana right now and it is crazy to say the least! I love it i got put with a great companion that has litterly tought me so much like ive been giving parts of lessons and talking to so many people! We got assignment to a area that is whats called white wash its where its all new people and we like restart with everything because the people before like did nothin! So lottssss of talking to people on the streets trying to find new people. Its rain pretty much every day which is so cool not a lot but a little. The people here hate the rain it starts to sprinkle and everything just stops and no one is outside exept us its funny. The kids love us here its so fun ive already played in the streets with a bat and bottle caps and the kids were going crazy that a gringo what hitting the caps it was funny. They were almost like mad that i was hitting them it was so fun! So many kids its crazy and the poverty here is pretty bad in most parts. But the people are still happy and dont complain. Its pretty hard to talk to people in the streets because every car has 4 freaking stadium speakers in their car and every motorcyle had the loudest exaust known to man but thats what makes it fun. The biggest thing ive leaned so far is that most of the people here have pretty much nothing but they make the most of what they have. The kids play all day in the streets with no shoes but are the happiest people there are. Then back home so many people have a lot compared to others and dont have the same joy. Ive learned that no matter what you have you can be happy. Be thankful for what you have and in your prayers say everything you are thankful for and make somone elses day! I hope that everyone is doing good and hope that everyone has a good week talk to you guys next week!

  Well, this week has been full of surprises.We had to drop two of our people that we had on for baptism dates. But one of the other ones got pushed back A week so don't know if we'll have any baptism this transfer but. Been able to find a lot of cool new people And get to know them too. This week was really busy between having zone conference and companion exchanges It was a pretty hectic week. I love walking in the streets.Cause all you hear's gringo, gringo, non-stop and all the little kids come running up to you and try to shake your hand and run their hands down your arm.Trying to slip the bracelet or watch or your ring off your fingers its pretty funny. I did find out that my companion elder Stafford is deathly deathly deathly Scared of spiders like it's not even funny. Last night I was in bed and I hear him screaming for his life. And I run out the door and hes like spider spider spider. He's like about to faint like bro, it's just a spider. And this thin...

  This week was a full one to say the least a lot happend. Lots of really touching experiences that were really cool! I got to go on a companion exchange and got to got to the heart of down down santiago. The elder i went with in charge of all social media and all the referrals that people put in. So i ended up not going out in the morning and just on a computer going through them and calling them. Crazy how many people hit the link and fill it out but then say they never did it haha. Like buddy you filled out your whole name email and phone number haha. But after that we got to go out for a little and met with this really old lazy. She was the sweetest person ever. Shes 81 and we got to talking and giving her a lesson and she told us a story that was pretty touching. She said one day she started to feel really hot and her skin started to look black including her face. She went to a doctor and she said it got worse and she said she was never going back. She picked up the bible and ...

I was like oh no what did we do... he said pack you bags your going to Tamboril at 11:30 we were very confused at this point we didn't know why or nothing. After some later searching around we were switching houses with the hermanas because they had been followed by people multiple times and they dident feel safe. Soooo we were nominated or somthin to replace them hahha. But i was pumped because tamborin is outside of santiago city part. Its right on the edge of this giant mountain range and is sooooo pretty.
