This is my first week here in Los llanos, a fairly good-sized town hidden within the sugar kane fields. It´s about an hour away from one of the big cities called San Pedro de Macoris. We have a little branch here with a little church building, I´ll try and send a picture next week, it´s super cool. It´s a lot quieter here than in Sabana Grande, which I love. The Dominican Republic is awesome, but its levels of awesomeness would be higher if they removed all the motorcycles, lots of noise, shees. But here it´s less loud.
Elder Matos is super cool. He´s from the DR, his town, Azua, is just two bus rides away, I don´t know how he handles it being so close to home, it´s because he´s just strong that way. He´s twenty-seven years old and has just two years being a member. He was baptized, then had to prepare right away to leave for the mission. The limit is usually twenty-six, so he didn´t waste time filling out his papers and getting ready to go. He´s a very well-read missionary and loves answering questions, especially complex ones. Last night someone asked us if Jehovah is the father or Jesus, and he very happily took off. A passing conversation dragged on a little bit longer than intended but it was cool. I´ll try to send a picture next week, my memory cards full, so I need to purchase another. He reminds me of Gollum, not sure why...
The new district is good. I continue to have all sisters in my district, after having six sisters perhaps God thinks I´m used to girl drama.....bueno. We´ve got Sister Damiani, Sister Gomez, Sister Dias and Sister Falcon, they're awesome, it´s gonna be a good district.
Love you guys, have a fun week, hope you all enjoyed the solar eclipse, we saw half the eclipse.
Love, Elder Call
