So this has been a pretty
non-interesting week to say the least...
Monday I found out that the
terrible stomach pain that I had been having was because of a stomach ulcer that was growing on/in my stomach. Not sure what it is but it hurts to
digest a lot of food. But I got some medicine and feel good today! Then that
night we had FHE with a couple of cool families and watched "Finding Faith
in Christ" Which is a sweet movie that I would highly recommend.
Then on Tuesday we had District
meeting and then went and spread the word about this great gospel... haha...
Then Wednesday we tried to see
this guy who was being taught in England and moved back home to Guyana. When we
called him he set up a time to go see him but he wasn't home. We thought we
were supposed to be there for a reason, but we just decided that we weren't
supposed to be somewhere else, kind of a bummer....
Then on Thursday we had a crazy
rainstorm and got stuck at an investigators house. Their Ajo and Agie are Hindu
so they had some interesting things to say about our religion... haha. I'm not
sure if it's just something Hindu people say but Ajo is Grandpa and Agie is
Grandma. So I'm learning all types of things on my mission!;) I also learned
that if someone says that's my buddy, it means brother. Not friend. So that
cleared a lot of things up for me...
Friday I had the opportunity to
go on a trade off with Elder Tillotson. He is one of the Zone Leaders serving
in New Amsterdam. He is a fantastic missionary who I learn a lot from every
time I go on trade offs with. But I did have a hard time without Elder
Hodgkinson there with me to help walk around our own area, being so new, we ran
out of things to do and I got a little stressed out... But it ended up going
well!
Saturday we met back up and
traded back so me and Elder Hodgkinson headed over to our favorite Chinese
restaurant for some quick lunch and worked hard on Saturday.
Sunday was a great day at
church with a wonderful testimony meeting in sacrament. But for this last fast
Sunday me and Elder Hodgkinson decided to fast for an investigator we have to
be able to make it to church, so we started Saturday and went to his house
early on Sunday morning to wake him up. So we shared a lesson with him and told
him if he didn't keep his commitments we would have to stop coming by, one of
those commitments being attending church. Ended up he didn't care or whatever
because he never showed up to church... haha but THE CHURCH IS STILL TRUE.
Today we woke up early and got
over to New Amsterdam to go and get some fabric to get some tailored pants
made. I got two pairs of pants made with a total cost of 32 dollars! What a
steal! haha my companion who is 6'4" is getting an entire suit tailor made
by some sketchy Rastafarian for dirt cheap as well! So I'm excited to see how
it all turns out!
All in all it was a fantastic
week, with lots of ups and downs, just keeping on the grind I guess...
I love you all and hope you are
all safe and enjoying life! I know I am!
Have a great week! Elder Dorrance
It's raining, it's pouring...
