Day 112

 What an week its been! Been hot to say the least and sun is so draining but lucky the nights aint been too bad. This week was very crazy. I had to go to Santo Domingo for my residence. It was about a 3 hour bus ride so you know i slept on that bus. I had to get my blood drawn and i freaking hate shots then just imagine a lady that you can barly understandstick a needle in you. Absolutely terrifying who knows if that needle was even new hahah. I got home late that night then the following day had to go into the city for interviews then we had a exchange. I got to go with a giant Haition dude that is absolutely scared of getting deported and getting jumped. The whole time he was on edge and everytime we would walk through my short cuts which are through fields he always said i dont like this i dont like this. It was pretty funny then at the house before bed he went and locked our bedroom door and shut the window by him. I dident let him shut mine because its was so hot. He was a funny dude and was a good time learned a lot with him. We finally got one of our dudes in teaching on date hes been to church 5 times already and is progressing slowly but steady. We had a recent convert show up to church that hasent been in a while because he keeps getting deported back to Haiti. We never got to meet him because right when we got here he was taken. He told his story in church and it was crazy. He said he got taken back to Haiti and while in jail he could call one person. He said he has no one except the church so thats who he called. He called one of the leaders and they were able to go and get him and bring him back to his family. He dosent speak much spanish so we get along very well. Its so crazy how some thing really work out here there are just giant trucks with a giant cage and they just go around gathering them up. Pretty sad because a lot of them are good people just trying to leave their country because its so bad but they end up getting deported because of others who come here and cause trouble and stuff. Its cool to see that this guy even after getting deported still runs the risk of leaving and coming to church. Crazy faith that is so powerfull. That all that really happend i counted all the people that we are in teaching and people that we are trying to teach and we have over 50... crazy but its just so hard for them to come to church or respond to us. 

Quotes and funny stuff

  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...

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 ...
