Our first email from Josh in the DR was awesome.
Some of the fun things he mentioned were:

1. It is so beautiful here and also very humid.
2. Everything here is so green and tropical.
3. It rains a couple times every day and the power has gone out 4 or 5 times.
4. MTC is called the CCM in the DR.
5. 32 missionaries from the U.S. and 13 from Haiti in the CCM.
   
6. Teachers speak very little English which makes it interesting.
7. Sister Perkins, President Perkins wife, challenged us all to memorize the First Vision, D&C 4, and our purpose as missionaries all in Spanish. She said that the record for anybody doing it in the year and a half that she has been here had been 2 weeks-I got it done in 4 days!!! (That's my boy!)

As you can see he is doing great. What a guy!!!!!
