hey family! So this week has been soo good! It has been a long week because the mission presidente changed and now we have a new one! Our families are really progressing! My companion now only has 2 weeks left and he is very nervous to go home but excited at the same time! Yesterday we went  to Puerto Plata to go say bye to some of his people down there and it was very hard for him! I think it will be the same for me! So anyway this week we have had a lot of success with finding new people to teach! Manuel is really starting to gain a testimonio of the Gosple! The Familia Espinal and the Familia Guzman are really excited to learn more and to go to church! We have seen such a difference in our work and in the members! They are starting to leave and preach with us and now are giving us references! This work is so true! Tjhis saturday me and other american missionaries will be going to Wendys to celebrate the 4th of July! We have taught a lot lately about The Familia and it has really brought a great spirit to our Area! The family is soo important and the Lord ahora is really trying to strengthen the Familias! We are seeing a lot of families in this day falling apart and having a lot of dificultades! The Gosple doesnt take away the tests and trails, but it helps us overcome them! We need to be patient and everything will come out good! Well family i love you guys soo much and hope that you guys are ok! I will send a few pictures to you guys today!

Love 

Elder Westenskow!
