Hey, everyone, got a lot of good news to share with you all, let's get into it.
So, there were transfers on Friday, and I finally made my way over to the capital, Santo Domingo. The zone I'm in is called Duarte, and the ward I have the privilege to serve in is called La Esperanza, or Hope, which is fitting. After three exhausting months of working in Azua, I've been delivered from my afflictions, and my hope has returned.
My new comp's name is Elder Orellana, from El Salvador. Absolute beast, I hope I get to learn a lot from this guy. He's been showing me my new area these last couple days and I absolutely love it. All the way since February I've been in "the south" of the country, in Barahona then Azua. Now finally I'm here in the capital and I'm so glad La Esperanza got to be my first area here.
There were a couple baptisms right after I left. We had the baptism of Lori, and of Yoderis and Yoelmis, and from what I hear they were all so happy to make that big step in the life, which is great.
Other than that, not much is new. My birthday is coming up, a couple weeks and I'm 21, which is crazy. I know I'll be living it up here in La Esperanza, I'm super excited to learn more of the area and the people and everything. Thanks, everyone, for your prayers and support. They're being answered, I can tell you that. Talk to you all soon, nos vemos!
I must go -Elder Barlow
