alright listen up because this is very very important..!! i dont know if you can do anything but you could try. at the mtc i left my camera charger and my filter water bottle they gave me in my room. so i dont know if like tania could go and see if they could just go get it or what, but i neeeeeedd need need those things. but i think i got all of your dearelders, but i just barely got them today. they either come on wednesday or thursday. some things i thought you might like to hear about the great dominican republic is, the power goes out here all the time. but the church has a giant generator that kicks the power back on after like ten seconds but in the field i wont be that lucky. the water here is no good.. at all. sometimes in my room the sink water turns brown haha its pretty interesting. i think my spanish is getting better cuz this week at the university i could pretty much understand what they were saying, i dont know what to say back to them most of the time which i found out is quite a problem because it turns into a ... i have no idea what you want me to say right now look on my face. it is hot hot hot here. if there are no clouds and no breeze it is death, it is so humid and my skin always feels sticky. this part is fro greg ... greg i now know what you are talking about when you talk about trinindad people. we have a trinidad missionary in the mtc and so now i know what your saying about they dont really speak english. they have the wierdest english accent i have ever heard, AND i now know what trinidad smells like too. ... im sorry you had to go there because he smells no bueno and im assuming thats what the country smells like too. i dont know if you can do this but look up and see how my mission got changed, like if its with puerto rico or what. but i would like to know the exact locations. my "sickness " last week wasnt from the water, i ate something that i wasnt quite sure it was and i think thats what put my stomach in a bad mood, and i think my stomach just had to get used to all the new food and stuff here. they have a kitchen somewhere in town cook all of our food and then they bring it to us to answer your question mom. from what i read im assuming you got my pics. thats good cuz i was a little worried if they would get to you or not, and yes i parted my hair. but it was only for one day and it was only because my whole district did it too. we go to the university every tuesday and this week was better. i placed two more book of mormons and the kid that we gave a book of mormon to last week came back and wanted to learn more. i have my first investigator and im still in the mtc , bet none of you did that :) . but yea the university is really fun, and super challenging cuz everyone speaks spanish and i dont speak spanish. i decided that english is a very good language because i already know it!! my teachers here are awsome . especially this one that i get every night, hermano ramirez. he is so cool and the best teacher i have ever had. but they are all from the dominican republic and hardly speak english at all. jord im pretty sure you won your game last night so good luck at state, and if you didnt have fun shoveling snow off the tennis courts haha and sorry to tell you this dude but your not gonna get your braces off when they told you they would. add another six weeks onto that and then you will get them off. and i dont need you to get anymore adresses other than tammys, and good luck with your eagle project and be ready for a shock when you get to peru cuz if its anything like here.. its nothing like america. tenille you are not getting married, i just barely decided that... you know why? because you picked the wrong place to go on your honeymoon. maybe if you picked somewhere that ryhmed with " the dominican republic" you could get married but las vegas does not sound anything like the dominican republic, so sorry no marriage for you. tiff and jon keep having tanner remember who i am cuz i dont want him to forget me, and jon i hope your feeling better. ryan i didnt hear from you this week so im assuming i didnt get your dearelder cuz i know you wouldnt forget to write one of these weeks and then like one week later you just drop a message like your getting married or something. tania keep on teaching and have lots and lots of fun! mom i didnt get your package yet but i think its going to come this week? but i dont know. dad all i have to say is ...... GET BETTER!!! i almost caught a lizard today at the temple. oh and i did service for haiti this week. we move an entire truck full of rice into a semi trailor. you sweat alot here when you work , cuz it is so humid. but it was fun and way cool. the whole camera thing is i cant take pictures because there are alot of people here that are go to the temple and the president doesnt want us looking like tourist and stuff. but the haitians leave on tuesday so we can take our cameras out and take pictures with them on tuesday. i will take alot of picture ( as many as i can cuz i dont have an SD card ) with like the temple and haitians and stuff. but i got a question for all you scripture folk out there. at the age of 15 did joseph smith have faith?....................................................................................... the answer is NO. i was reading in the scriptures and it dawned on me that, after you have seen god and jesus christ you dont have faith anymore but you have knowlege. no faith just knowlege. pretty cool huh. so if you ever see god you wont have faith anymore. but thats it for this week, cant wait to hear from you all.
love elder finn
