This is a Dominican sunrise, we run to this every morning, its pretty cool. This is Hermano Gomez, he is pretty much the coolest teacher ever! This is a picture of Dominican Republic security, its pretty much the best security system ever invented, broken bottles cemented to the top of a wall. And last, this is just what Elder Hardy does best, and that is climb coconut trees!

Hola! Que lo que! Todo bien aqui, yo estoy chillin. Haha, isnt that funny they use, "I am chillin" here too. I thought it was funny. That is so cool that nate and kindy had their baby!!! I bet they are stoked out of their minds, haha, yea i still use lingo like that, but only in emails to you. anyways that is so cool. I cant belive another red head! Well everthing has been pretty crazy around here, the latinos are so loud! They are really funny though. At first they would just laugh at our spanish, but now they are trying to help us, so all is well. Last week we taught julio about the Book of mormon, and about prayer. He was so interested, i just wish i knew more spanish to teach him better. Oh, and by the way, it is not splits, it is just me and my companion teaching him, and both of us have been in the MTC for a month and a half. But anyways, it went very well, we commited him to read a chapter in the book of mormon, and to pray to know if it was true. We also commited him to meet with the other missionaries, so that will be good, because i think they know a little more spanish than us. But it was really cool to see a person change. His semester is done at the university, so i will never see him again, sad. But he wrote down our names, so he will remember us. Today is going to be really cool, we get to go to the temple, except this week it is in spanish! So i am pretty excited! Hopefully i wont be too lost. Oh yea, i got your letters and everything, so dont worry about that, and i decided that you can just email me, i have worked out a system to pring them off before i email. And, i am running low on my snack supply, i can try to make it another two weeks, but maybe having a nice box of treats will be nice to ahve waiting for me in puerto rico. By the way, i talked to this elder the other day from puerto rico, and he showed me all of the good surfing spots on a map, so i got it all mapped out for when we go! I am SOOO excited to get out in the field!!! I cant wait to go teach people every day. I am not sick of the CCM or anything, i am just excited to go teach people. Well i better be going, thank you for all of your love and support. love elder hardy
