BARAHONA

We received an email finally today around 3:00. Josh is alive and surviving.

Like you see his first area is Barahona right by the beach. It is located 3 hours west of Santo Domingo. He just kept saying over and over how beautiful it was. They are surrounded by mountains and everything is green.
His new companion is Elder Carver from Texas-he has only two months left. Josh said that he isn't wanting to work too hard so he let Josh make the goal for week. The weekly goal for the zone is 200 contacts-Josh set a goal for 400!!!! Prayer will get him there. He is so excited to work hard-that would make any parent proud.
Wilky, a man they met, helped them push a guys truck out of the street. As they talked to him they realized what a cool guy he was and they even got him to go to church with them yesterday. So great!!!!!
I called my friend Annie from our Desert Vista ward who is from the DR and she couldn't say enough good about Barahona. This is where her mom was born. Annie said they spend a lot of summers there because it is so beautiful and there are a lot of cool little towns to enjoy.
His feet hurt but said it was awesome. Pain never felt soooo good?!!!!!!!!
We love you!!!!
