Hey everybody!
The last week has been absolutely amazing! Last Friday I was able to go on a companion exchange with a companionship from the Santo Domingo east mission. The companion I got stuck with just so happened to be one of my good friends and old football buddy Elder Christian Cardozo. Needless to say I was pretty flipping excited to be with someone I knew and was already friends with. Most of the time we were together we were just contacting form door to door but we were able to teach 3 lessons and add a couple of families to the prospective investigator list. We had such a great time and at the end of the day we went and taught an English class to tome of the members at the local church building.it was so much fun being able to help them learn a language that will probably help them find and get a better job. When we were on our way back we saw a man pushing his car down the street, we were already pretty late but both of us felt strongly that we need to help I’m get his car to the gas station so we helped and it was great and the man was so confused as to why we were helping him and we just told him that that’s what missionaries do. He was pretty happy and impressed at us and he accepted to have the missionaries over and hear the lessons.
That was really the highlight of my week until Tuesday where we had an amazing devotional from Elder J. Devin Cornish, he is the second counselor in the area seventy. His talk was incredible it was about missionary work of course but one thing he said and then continued to say throughout his talk was, "its good to do good, but its priceless to save souls." I don’t know what it was when he said that but it hit me so hard. I’m so grateful to be serving a mission right now; I’m so lucky to have the opportunity to save the souls of my brothers and sisters here in the Dominican Republic.
It’s my last week here in the MTC and I’m super excited to leave and get out into the field. My p-day is most likely going to change so I’m not sure what day ill be writhing next week but you’ll know once you get next weeks letter. I love you all and love hearing from you and how you’re doing.
