Hey everybody!
Guess what.... had another amazing week full of sunshine, humidity, sweat and the spirit. Update with my mission is that I am about to complete my fourth transfer in the mission field which means that I have six months in D.R. and 7 months and two weeks in total as a missionary! Crazy! I'm about to be one third done with my mission. This transfer ends next Wednesday and I will most likely be training a new Latino missionary, but we'll see what happens. My companion right now will also end his 2 years this Wednesday so that's exciting. I have been really happy with him and we have been working really hard every day. Here's a little update of the week!

Funny:
So there are these little Dominican kids (about 6yrs oldish) that live right by our house and we pass them by everyday as we leave to preach the gospel. One day I was passing by while they were all listening to music and said hello. As I passed by he called me out to dance. As we both debated for a little I ended up convincing him to dance. Immediately he started dancing the funniest merengue to the music that was blasting from the house. Every day for the past month as I pass bye, I yell out to them. "Ayy pero Baila!" and all 5 of them start dancing merengue and all the neighbors and us start chanting them. It has literally become a little tradition. I love the little dominican kids.

Spiritual:
Yesterday my companion and I had a really special experience. Do you remember when i told you guys about a lady that we contacted as we walked past her house, said Hi, and she called us back so that we could preach the gospel to her. Well, we were finally able to meet with her after a week of trying to contact her. Right when when we started sharing with her, she began to share with us how she had read all of the pamphlet and looked up all of the corresponding verses in the bible and how she knew it was true. She testified to us of the Restoration of the Gospel through the prophet Joseph Smith and how she knew that The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints is true. She explained to us how when we passed by her house, she felt impressed to call us over and she also explained how she has been searching for the restored gospel of Jesus Christ because she knew through her studies in the Bible that it had been changed and lost. She was amazingly special and the spirit was strong the entire time as we all felt the powerful love that God has blessed us with through this knowledge.

I know that she has been prepared by others and by angels to receive the fullness of the Gospel in these Latter days (alma 13:24) and I'm so excited to see how she will progress in the Gospel. I testify that the Lord continues to perform miracles in the lives of those that believe and exercise their faith in him. He is preparing all men to accept and live this amazing plan of happiness!
I love being a missionary and I love each of you guys!
Hope to hear from all of you soon. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Siempre con AMOR,
Elder Rincon
