Feliz Navidad 12/22/2021

 Dear Families of the Santo Domingo East Mission,

Sister Acosta and I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas!

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity we have to serve in this great work with your children. We can tell you that they are all fine, so with some homesickness, but that is normal.  We are making sure everyone receives their packages and what they send to you on time and have invitation to dinner on Christmas Eve which when we usually celebrate.

For some of your sons and daughters that recently arrived at the mission, this will be a different Christmas and they will surely feel better when they call you. As may know starting the mission is a challenge, so surely when you talk to them your love and support it will do them a lot of good.

We are serving our missions to testify of Jesus Christ, of invite everyone to come unto Him, and every day we serve as missionaries we are striving to be more consecrated and more faithful disciples of Christ and you are a big part of this.

 Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions.

 We wish you all Happy Holidays! we love you.

Let's gooooo - February 7, 2022

 Alright, it's been a while since I've sent an email, I'm not gonna lie, I've been having a rough time with an android phone. This email was actually supposed to send about 3 weeks ago, but I legit haven't had wifi in 3 weeks. So emails haven't been an option lately haha. But it'd alright. My Spanish is getting a ton better and I can somewhat have conversations with people, it's really fun to see how much better and more fun missionary work gets as soon as you can start talking and communicating with people. Because I'm not going to lie, when I first got here, I zoned out during every lesson and could hardly talk to anyone, missionary work was a drag and it was just hard. But as soon as my Spanish started to improve, the excitement to wake up and get out and working everyday skyrocketed. Just have to be patient I guess. Patience is definitely something I've been learning while being out here.  I had exchanges with my District leader in his area i...

  Dear Parents of the Santo Domingo East Mission, due to the rapid spread of the current version of COVID, the missionaries of the Santo Domingo East Mission will be working from home through technology for a few days in a semi-quarantine. We have some missionaries with the virus, but they're all fine, their symptoms are minor. In a few days everything will return to normal.      Thank you all for your prayers, your support and we look forward to continuing serving in this great and wonderful work. We love you all.     Pres. and Hna. Acosta

DR Life 12-20-2021

  It's been a crazy first week, my companion is Elder Fairbanks, he's pretty dope. He's a pretty big guy and is fluent in Spanish cuz he lived in Perú for 3 years before the Mish, he's actually younger than me. In my first 15 minutes in my new area there was a 16 year old kid in the middle of the street, naked as can be, dancing and leaving nothing to the imagination. So that was a weird first night. I probably shouldn't have said that in an email but it's alright. Here in the DR the people are so nice and welcoming, it is a 3rd world country so the people are very humble and amazing. Our apartment has no AC, not hot water, no carpets, you can't drink the water. But we do have a water filter so I feel very fortunate haha. Almost everyone has a motorcycle. Almost all of our lessons are outside on the street infront of their house, so we usually have to stop the lesson every 5 seconds because someone is popping a wheelie past us on their motorcycle. People als...
