Since the last earthquake there has been nothing, people here like to make up stories , so I think there will be no tsunami but who knows!!
I could not imagine it being cold on my mission. But to tell you the truth i am still just waiting for it to get cold. haha. I guess I am starting to adapt to the weather because I start to get a kind of chill sometimes when it gets below 30 ;)
Oh just so you know we met a lady who is so nice! She and her husband have offered to feed us and we have only met them once. She went on a 6 year mission somewhere and she says she knows how tough it can be sometimes. But she said when ever we pass by to come a get a chocolate cupcake because she just thinks how our mothers must miss their babies and she wants to do what they would do for us :) She is super nice! I really realized how much I love my mother!
Church this week was really good! We had 68 people there and two of them were these investigators that we were about to drop. They are sweet! After church one of them expressed to me how he has never felt this way attending any other church, and he has finally made up his mind and he said he is going to come here for the rest of his life! So I am so excited for him! Well them! It's actually two brothers named "V" and "OB". its going to be great to get two more worthy Priesthood to this branch. We really need it! But the church has been growing at an amazing rate here!
Actually on Thursday I got to witness a wedding. This man looks Rastafarian and he lives in Canada with his now wife. But he couldn't be baptised in Canada so he came home to St Lucia to get baptised, married and get his Canadian citizenship so it's exciting!
We have actually been seeing a lot of success, We will next week be baptising a one legged man named "P". He is really cool and super humble! He needs a ride to church and he gets a ride sometimes so he is doing great!
We also have a lady named "DS" who has 4 kids who she wants to live gospel. She has a baptism date for the 29th and she hopefully will bring all her kids to church next week. She is actually the niece of an investigator named "VE". And how we met "DS" was we were teaching "VE" And BRO, and she came up to us and said she wanted to join our church and get baptised! So she is doing well, we just need to teach her about the Word of Wisdom!
As for the young men we were teaching, I think we are going to have to drop them. Only one has has a witness that Joseph Smith was a prophet, but he wont come to church, but hopefully he will start acting and see the blessings that will come into his life and trust the Lord in all he does!
But the YM program will be getting much better. A new member named Sam just got called to be the YM leader, and he is built like brother Tanner so I'm sure he is going to be a great leader. I wasn't there when he taught his class but apparently he is a great role model for the kids, and was encouraging them to do well in school!
Anyway, the branch is doing fantastic!
And the work is doing great! I love being a Missionary and am so happy to be here!
Love you very much!
