Elder Stimpson's ears have cleared up much to our gratitude.  He enjoyed his time with Elder Jensen.  Unfortunately, when the transfer day swung around- he was transferred to area named Barahona.  He had to ride on bus for three and half hours south till he got to Barahona and only had thirty minutes to write his mom email.  Here's few of his words to mom.

now I am closer to the beach with my new area being barahona and maybe I will have the chance to go fishing. there might be a better chance of finding some better fishing equipment than what i found in my last area.

the new house is really nice but it is dirty and the missionaries don´t bother to clean it completely before they leave so some of my time will be spent cleaning that house. now it makes me upset to see a mess especially here because the streets have trash everywhere. so it feels nice to come home to a clean house. now I am starting to understand how my mom feels.

being transferred to the south means I won´t be able to find a camera so I can talk with my mom face to face on Mondays. so maybe you could send me one mom. as well as some of my lures and flies. dad can pick those out he can see some of the nicer ones. and mom as well could you send my hammock with a pair of straps for them as well and the garments.

Lots to see and do!

There was an article on missionaries doing volunteer service on the beach clean up.

If you can read spanish, you are welcome to the link.  I found Elder Stimpson in two of pictures posted on this article.  Have fun hunting for him!

Last two weeks saw him working hard, seeking people who want to learn about Jesus Christ.  There were quite number who aren't too willing and trying to hide from missionaries.  Of course, they hid very poorly.

Elder Stimpson said it was so hot that people even can't slam doors on missionaries.  Ha ha.

Elder Stimpson celebrated his birthday end of May and made his birthday cake for first time.  Coconut frosting was a tough wrestle but it turned out okay.  They enjoyed it, though the two layered cake is slightly burnt, thanks to different oven/stove they are using.  It is going to take a while to get used to Dominican Republic's brand of stove/oven.










The new normal for our missionary

Elder Stimpson is doing pretty well!!! How they are doing the mission work are very much different than what our missionary was used to.  It...
