Ratatouille!🐁

 Wepa! What a week its been in the DR... last monday which was p-day went to the beach which was like 3 hours of buss riding and a ton of money big mistake bit it was fun and pretty. On the way there we got stopped on this one buss 4 times. The police and boarder control stop the buss and get in and walk all the way to the end to the bus which is where we sit... on the third one we were told to get off and follow this dude. I felt powerless being in normal clothes but we got off and walked to this table and they cheaked all of our papers and asked us where we were going and let us go. Good this my companion was legal at that point... we received a bunch of rain like 4 days in a row every afternoon and two days in a row we saw the lightning that took out the power for a few hours. One day it has rained and we started the day off and crossed a little "wash" and were teaching on the other side. Ended up dumping rain for bout a hour and a half and when we started to leave this area we relized that this was was now running so we had to turn around and spend some more time in that area untill the water got to where we could cross. Nothing like to good dominican street sewage water. Another day we were walking near the drug point area which is totally "safe" and as we walked by the police pull up and jump out of the trucks and go running down off the hill to the so called "drug camp" about time they do somthing i could hint off the police on two more spots but the bad guys would find out and have me killed. I just smile and wave... there is a group of kids that hang out around the house and every now and then i play around with them and the other day they made these bats out of a broken broom stick and put a 1 liter bottle on the end and were hitting rocks off the road at this cow in this tiny pasture he was just in the corner taking cover i just laughed and my companion thought that wasent funny.. which to be fair yes poor cow but at least the kids are off their phone. Pretty much all the kids from the age 1.5 - 35 years old are on their phone alllllll day playing games or scrolling. And if your older then that your drinking and playing dominos with that music all the way up. Its quite a life most of them got. Not all but id say 90%. Its pretty sad but that just the norm here. Im starting to get back into making friend with the local police and civil support. We got some to pull up too church one cilvil support dude, a firefighter fella, and 2 police dudes. He said i wasent allowed to touch his gun or the shinny handcuffs. One day... we had stake conference this sunday so there was food and a bunch of people. We just got to watch the boadcast in our church it was pretty chill and was very good! But i am currently in Santiago spending p-day with that casa elders and the APs so thats fun!  We have a truck😁

Fun stuff
- dude was doing a wheelie on hot motorcycle and fell off and still held on and it wipped around and smashed into a block house.🙄
- Played dodgeball with a buch of kids with basketballs. It was lit and no one cried!
- Elder Miller fell off a block wall and roled down a hill and the kids were all making fun of him
- i landed a tailwip on a scooter. I am now the cool kid on the block
- a rat ran down the hall as we were teaching a lesson in somones house and the dude responded with "hes just a pet like the rat from that movie." Ratatouille....
- talked to some dude from Spain on a bus about hunting😂

I came across this scripture this week..
Apocalypse 20;
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works
Ive shared this a lot this week with contacts and quick lessons and a lot of the responses have been the same. Well Jesus died for us so it dosent matter whats in the book. Such a dominican response. Just like when i ask whos God and the say umm everything. And thats all the can say. But this book that we read about really dose matter. It has our life written into it. And what is written in this book is what we will be judged from. Yes Jesus died for us but that dosent mean we are automatically saved. We have to act for ourselfs and find the good from the bad and when we do the bad and we mess up we repent. Thats the way it works just because he died dosent mean everything is just erased. We have to do our part Jesus just made it possible to repent and keep moving forward. So the goal is to have a dang good book filled with the good things of this life. 
Thats all i got for this week have a great week and talk to everyone later!

  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 ...
