Christmas in the Dominican Republic


Today was Christmas Day and the best present of all was to talk to Dave for about two hours! It was so good to hear his voice and to feel his enthusiasm for the work he's doing. He loves training his new companion (his "baby missionary" they call the greenies) Elder Carter from Morgan, Utah. They've become great friends and are having much success together. Dave says it's certainly a different culture and a country with much poverty, but they are hungry for the gospel and he's loving the people. When Lindsay tried to talk to him about what plans he has after the mission he seemed hesitant to want to talk about coming home. He assured us he's anxious to see us all again but loves what he's doing and feels there's still much to do in such a little time. For us--there's no place we would rather he be, but will sure be glad to get him home on April 29th.
