My life is so great. I just love the animo I´ve got these days. I know it sounds nuts to say that when we´re putting up with a strong heat, walking pretty much all day, just talking to strangers.. But, I dunno, It´s just something about being a missionary. It´s a time you really just to know yourself. And god. I can really say these past 18 months or so have been time well spent for me, and I hope I can keep the umph going for these last few months.
We had a super great missionary conference meeting day in the capital, thursaday. We had 3 members of the seventy with us (Elder Zane got to hear E. Holland in Mision Oeste.. so I guess they thought having 3 seventy would = 1 apostle haha), Elder Clayton, Martinez, Cornish, and their wives. It was sweet to see the whole misson all together in one room, I´ve never seen that in my mission til now. We were instructed on how to handle stress, the recipe that makes a miracle missionary, and a lot of other things I have written down in my journal. A real great conference indeed.
My new companion is BEST. Elder Aplanalp and I have agreed he's the most humble person either of us have ever met. And he's got a sweet conversion story. He's Elder Jeffers, 26, from St Kitts and Neves, has about 16 months as a member and is the only missionary serving in the world from his country. And I get to be his trainer! We get along just great, he's got a ways to go on the language, but we study and he's learning more every day. I'll tell you more about him as the transfer goes on.
We've got a solid line-up in Santo Domingo Zone. Got to reunite with Elder Graff, and like I said, Elder Aplanalp is Maria Auxiliadora B so we live in the same house. I'¡m just loving it, we been eating like kings these days. We've been eatin Pizza, baked pasta, MEATLOAF, Baked potatoes.. I tell ya what, we're doing al ittle bit more that alright in our house. It's been a great change for me.
Our FAMILY!! We took them to the temple last night with another young couple from the ward. We taught the super strong lesson on eternal families, and they really want to be able to make it inside there someday. We were able to pass by with our Bishop last monday and we put the fecha for the 28th, the husbands all for it, and the wife is too.. sorta. She says yes, but theres something that tells us she still wants more time. I hope this week we can tie up all the loose ends and clear up any more doubts they have. They're such great people and just need to take the leap of faith. They share the baptismal date for another older señora, Mercedes, next saturday. PRAY FOR THEM.

Well thats all for now, we´s gotta head out for a family night we're doing with Mercedes with the other elders of the area.
My spriritual advice for today is to never forget that happiness is a choice, you can choose to surround yourselft with teh things that bring you real happiness i.e.; good friends, family, great music, a hike, a long drive in the mountans, fishing, scriptures etc. Remember that ´´Men are that they might have joy ´´.
Love love love you guys
