Love the family more than nerve soup! Its actual pretty good, you just have to get over the thought that it is fat since it feels a little squishy.
Ths week has been interesting.
Lots of contacting nd getting to know people. Jesus didnt feel ready for his baptism and wants more time. He also has something with tithing.

We have been finding some interesting people. One lady ranted on about how we cant believe in men, that there is no biblical proof (supposedly) for the restoration etc. It really just makes me sad how she was looking to fight and got my adrenalin going. We found and have a few people who were going to get baptized one but had problems but are back on track. The daughter of a less active is starting to recieve the lessons, her mom called out to us as we walked by one night and said Hey look Im inactive but I want my daughter to be baptized. Another lady we contacted this week knows a lot of members and had family nights with them but couldnt be baptized until hopefully now. Another lady also couldnt because she wasnt married to her husband but they are speratded now. Today is DOminican Independence day so everything is pretty much closed or on super sale. My companion is stressed to buy things for his family as he goes home. He is a great comp. Super smart in the scriptures and really funny. Today we played soccer nearby my old area Tierra Alta and we got to pass by and say hi to Paulino.

He is doing alright, a little sick still. We also went to Zapatero anthony and I orderd a pair of shoes and a belt for the temple. Im really stressed with trying to get things set to go to BYU and we are trying not to think to much about home.
I have been thinking about truth. Truth is truth even when bpeople dont believe, dont like or dont follow. It's truth that going out it the sun will give you a sunburn,
even though we dont like it and go out into the sun anyway. Joseph Smith was a prophet. Christ is our savior. This is his church. Our savior offers us freedom from our errors if we simply accept the truth and conditions of repentance. I know these things because I have recieved and recieve confirmation from the Holy Ghost.
