Welcome to the Santo Domingo East Mission! 12-16-2021

 



Dear Family,

We are happy to learn that Elder Faber arrived at the mission field on December 14, 2021. We have had the opportunity to interview him and are grateful for the spiritual maturity he brings to the mission field. Surely his spirit as well as his talents will be of great use in the work that is: To invite people to come unto Christ.

Elder Faber has been assigned to serve in the Bayaguyana area of Almirante. his companion will be Elder Fairbanks, attached are some photos of them.




We would like to share with you some points about the mission.

  • Every missionary governs his or her behavior based on obedience to the commandments and missionary standards found in the Missionary Manual for the Disciples of Jesus Christ (you can see it in the Gospel Library Church application). If you are obedient the Lord has promised that He will give you His Spirit, so your obedience will be the basis of your success. We invite you to familiarize yourself with them and to help us ensure that their missionary is the disciple that The Savior expects him to be.

  • As far as communication with your missionary is concerned, they should communicate with the family at least every Monday, they can do so by video call, email, phone or other approved form. You may not communicate for a week, but if a while goes by without you communicating, please let me know and we will review the situation. Mission standards say that all contact must be initiated by the missionary, the missionaries will be able to communicate on their preparation day, which is Monday. If you need to get in contact with you son or daughter, you must call us in the mission presidency, no matter the time, and then we will contact them so that they can contact you.

We reiterate that we will take care of your missionary as if he were one of our own children. They are in the Lord's work, they will never walk alone, at all times there will angels will be around them to take care of them. We invite you to pray for them, to encourage you to serve with all your heart, with the promise that when they return from their mission the Lord will return a son or daughter to you for good.



Receive our love and thanks for the opportunity to serve alongside your missionary.

Kind regards


Pres. and Sr. Acosta

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...
