Santo Domingo (Las Americas - Maria Auxiliadora) 1 - TRANSFER

Santo Domingo (Las Americas - Maria Auxiliadora) 1 - TRANSFER !  


 Hope everyone had a great Easter!

So we got transfers this week and Elder Searle and I are both headed out. I never thought that the mission would 
'blank" our area but they did. Elder Searle is headed across the road to La Caleta right by Boca Chica and Im going back to Santo Domingo to serve in a new area and responsibility, Las Americas, hahaha. Who would've thought it. But I'm really excited because I'm going to be with my former companion Elder Guzman! We're going to be super busy and have a lot of stuff going on, but I know that God is going to make everything run smoothly and we'll be able to handle it all! Because you almost never have a down moment in the mission anyways!


So yesterday and today, we've been passing by to visit with all of the recent converts, members and investigators to say goodbye. It never gets easier, I can tell you that much. I just think how little I'm most likely going to see all the people I've met here in the future. Sure, I can come back for vacation once in a while. But I know that it won't be whenever I feel like it. And so that makes me a bit sad. I just pray we stay strong in the faith for when we do see each other. Because there's no better feeling seeing someone stay on track and know that you're both trying to do your best, and seeing the blessings of God come from it.

I'm really excited for General Conference this weekend. I just feel like a big announcement is coming or something. But in reality, it'll all be of importance. I hope you all enjoy it!

Have a great week. Sorry that my emails keep getting lamer and lamer, shorter and shorter. Im trying to figure out how I can make them more enjoyable to read hahaha. The thing with the English and time is what's making it hard. But I hope you can all forgive me!

Other pictures are still in the process (the electronic viruses here are NOT easy),  

Much love,

Elder Graff
