Well this has been a great week! We worked hard and had some
success from it!
On Tuesday we had a great District meeting and then went to
go and teach for the day. Our first lesson scheduled was with Sister Babita and
her son Bryan. Both of them have been taught before and are ready to be
baptised but they weren't baptized because Babita isn't married and Bryan was
only 8 when the missionaries were teaching him. Now he's 11 and should be
getting baptized this upcoming Saturday!
Then on Wednesday we went about business as usual and met
with a less active family who hasn't been to church for some time! Their name
is the Ganpats. They have been baptized for a long time now, but he sure likes
his rum! haha. He's a good guy and loves telling us he's a member of the church
when he's wasted. But when he's sober, he loves coming to church and listening
to us read scriptures to him. He can't read or write but loves the gospel.
Hopefully he will stop working on Sundays and come to church this week!
On Thursday we had to go to a village called Rose Hall and
have Elder Sherren do a baptismal interview for a young lady who was baptized
last Saturday. That took all day long. We only taught like 3 lessons, but it
was good to meet some people outside of our area and help someone on their way
to baptism.
On Friday we taught plenty lessons and had a great day
getting Elder Sherren used to the area. We had a lot of walking to do on
Friday. That's where we stumbled on that B-E-A-utiful sunset!
On Saturday we had a less productive day because so many
things fell through, which was tough especially because Elder Sherren can't
give any input on where we should go because he doesn't know anyone in this
country yet... haha. But we were able to contact some people and we always find
meaningful things to fill our time!
On Sunday we went to church and had some interesting lessons
as usual. I love Guyanese people, they understand the basic doctrine, but love
to add a little of their own in with it. It doesn't make it false, but it is
hard to help people understand opinions vs. doctrine. I love church here though!
haha. Then we went with the branch president to his friends wedding to meet
with some people and get fed. a lot. and then we went and had another great
lesson right after that. and got fed. a lot. haha. I was feeling a little full
and ready to take a nap for a bit after all of the spicy chicken and rice. haha
so good!
All in all it was a very successfull week here in Rosignol!
Hope all is well at home! I love you all! Stay safe and sober! and remember,
Live your life a quarter mile at a time.

Love always,
Elder Dorrance
