So my letter is late-ish now because i just got home from zip lining! :) That was a pretty awesome way to spend the morning of p-Day! Zip lining is super fun, especially when you're going through trees and such! As far as teaching the kids the haka... it hasn't happened yet, that will be potentially 2 Saturdays from now. It's gotten pretty weird, but i hope they like it. It sounds like it should be fun! Oh and I think we will be climbing the piton next transfer! Woah it's crazy how close next transfer is!
So my area is actually really small, so we get to walk everywhere we go! but i like it. Bikes would be terrifying! There are steep hills everywhere we go so up would be no fun and down would be scary.. haha but yeah my shoes are great! I don't slip very often in them either so that is a bonus!
Church has been going well here for the last little while! We have lots of members or I guess it seems like lots because we almost fill the chapel! But then again the chapel is small.. haha hopefully we can make it grow enough they need to buy more chairs! :)
My favourite thing about Sunday was that all the testimonies were great! One sister, sister Jones, is moving back to Guyana so there was a big party after with lots of food! So that was pretty awesome! The Fast and Testimony meeting went 20 minutes longer than it should have! But it was still amazing! Oh and I also got assigned a talk. 10 minutes long on the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm excited to give the talk ! It should be pretty fun!
Oh yeah it is getting close to Christmas isn't it.. it's hard to imagine without any snow. I didn't even know it was Halloween till like 3/4 of the way through the day! weird... haha
Well this week was a great week! We exceeded almost all our weekly goal by quite a bit, and we taught some really great people! We also taught some people while they were rolling their marijuana ... that was fun! But the good people are always really exciting to talk to! This one guy, "A", was in prison for a while and realized he needed to change his life. Now he is an amazing father to his family and is extremely dedicated to the Bible and studies it all the time. He is a little confused on some verses and they cause problems for him to accept a prophet, but we hope to meet with him again to discuss them. He has really good questions and always listens to the spirit so I hope once we help him with the prophet thing and he prays he will know its true. He would probably be a good stake president, and he has like 5 baptism age kids and his wife so that would be a lot of new members. I'm really excited to help him know!
Oh another great guy, he was also in and out of prison. Weird how prison changes a man. anyways he has a lot of questions but he thinks Joseph Smith was called of God. he says "The name just sounds right and all those people were probably trying to kill him because he had the truth, and the devil didn't like that." So he is pretty awesome! And all his family is in Canada, so many St. Lucians are moving to Canada!
So I'm excited to see some progression but our only guy with a baptismal date keeps skipping out on church :/
But anyways! Have a Great week! I love you!
