So, while I was talking to the family for Mother's Day - our transfer calls came in. I am staying here in the small beach town of Valiente again this transfer with my companion Elder Campbell! I am pretty pumped because we have been able to see a lot of success so far, and we already have a ton of good investigators progressing toward baptism. So, we should see a lot more success this transfer. Sorry that lately I haven't really been giving much detail on the people I have been teaching and how they are coming along and stuff. I will try to do a better job. The way things work here though is that basically everyone in the country will sit down ant talk with you. The hard part is finding the chosen ones who have been prepared and are ready to progress to baptisms. There is a big weeding process we do teaching everyone a few lessons to give them a chance, and then dropping them if they are not keeping their commitments. That is why sometimes I don't write too much detail about people - because who know if I will be teaching them next week? But I will make sure I make the letters a little more personal.
So today my companion and I got to go to the house of President Antivillo )the mission president) to eat lunch at his house for completing the mission goal of 6 baptisms a transfer. I guess there is a Papa Johns Pizza somewhere on the west side of Santo Domingo - so they got it for us and it was sooooooooo good! I never thought I would enjoy pizza so much in my life! - or air conditioning . . . ! :)
Since I got to talk to you yesterday I am going to keep this short so I can send some pictures. Have a good week everyone!
Love, Elder McBride

Christian and his Mom (Christian is a waaay legit kid we baptized. He is already working on Duty to God, passing the sacrament, and he told us he wants to go out with us everyday - haha)
