The Lowrences are doing awesome. The mom and one of the kids came to church on Sunday and really liked it. They said it was a lot different then the catholic church that they had been attending. The mom has to work this next sunday but the kid wants to come again. We really want the father to come to church ya know. But get this, They arent married. So once again the process of getting people married begins. It might be a little more difficult this time, Mama lowrence kinda already told us that she didnt want to get married. Good thing that the gospel changes people, huh.

We usually get about 50 people to church. There is the medical school right by us so a lot of the students are members. Its about half students and half locals. The senior missionary, elder white, is the branch president. And most of the students do all the teaching for classes and such.

This last week we had four investigators in church. We have one baptismal date. his name is Junior, he's from santo domingo. he came here to try and find some work. doesnt really speak any english. so that gets interesting at our english branch on sundays. Guess who gets to translate?

Well thats most of the updates that I've got for now. President Dewsnup is visiting our island right now. He's come to see what needs to be done when the senior couple leaves in five weeks. They dont know of any replacements coming in the moment, unless grandma and grandpa want to sign up> :)Love Elder Osterloh
