Adjusting to the new area

Our Elder Stimpson finally shared with me on next P-Day where he is at now.  The new area is Los Alcarrizos and he and his new companion is whitewashing the area.    At the moment, he is in his fifth area and Elder Bolman became his eleventh companion.  He just is out for eight months.



Elder Stimpson and Elder Bolman are doing well.  They moved into apartment that once belonged to Assistant president and his companion.  Elder Stimpson and Elder Bolman wee working so hard to settle in.  Of course because they are whitewashing the area, they had to begin again with missionary work.

Elder Stimpson told me a funny story too.  They have the biggest church building in the entire Caribbean area.  The building have everything you need for a church.  Gym, kitchen, foyer and the entire kit.  Well, when they were in the area, they needed to go to bathroom and they decided to use church building for bathroom stop.  All missionaries have keys to church buildings for the purpose of mission work.  When they entered the building, the alarm went off.  Elder Stimpson was so frantic, made many calls.  The bishop gave him instructions in disabling and after disabling, he was able to calm down and go to the bathroom.

All church buildings have steel rails to their windows for protection.  So expect to see that in Dominican Republic.
