This week was pretty out of the ordinary but wonderful all
the same!
On Tuesday we had district meeting as usual but it was
taught by the Zone Leaders and it was a lot about what they learned from their
leadership council meeting they had in Trinidad the week before. They reminded
us of a few rules and implemented a few more! It was really great! I love
district meeting, it helps me remember that there are some awesome young men
out here serving the Lord! But after District meeting I was able to head back
to Rosignol with one of our Zone Leaders for a trade-off. I went with Elder
Hendry from Canada. He's an awesome missionary and we had a lot of fun working
in Rosignol together and he gave me a few things to work on too! It was great!
Then on Wednesday I got Elder Sherren and we headed out in
the afternoon to go see some people especially the Bajnauth family who yelled
at us to bless their daughter! They're doing great and reading everything we
leave with them! They didn't make it to church, but hopefully we can help them
get there this Sunday!
On Thursday I went on another trade-off with and elder named
Elder Brown, he's actually from Woods Cross, and I'm sure I have seen him play
football before. This guy is a stud and I loved going out teaching with him.
One of our recent converts actually has her daughter living with her now who
seems really interested that me and Elder Brown got to start teaching! It was a
great day! It is crazy to think that I have to go to a different continent to
meet people that live like 10 minutes from me! haha.
Then on Friday I went on another trade off with an elder
named Elder Chapman from Rexburg Idaho. He is great! He is actually planning on
going to BYU- Idaho after his mission which is like a stones throw away from
his house so if I go there I could see him! But we went to go follow up on a
referrel from the same recent convert who's daughter is interested and found
that the person we found has the same name but isn't the person we were looking
for. But they invited us in and we taught them a great lesson! They seem pretty
interested and should hopefully be great investigators!
On Saturday we traded back and had a regular day of a few
let-downs, kinda cruddy, but it was better on Sunday! There was an upside
though! We got a phone call telling us if we were staying or going and we are
both staying in Rosignol for at least another transfer! which I'm super happy
about! I love the people here so much! and we hope to have a lot of success
this transfer!
On Sunday we had church which was great! We had 54 people
there! That's like 20 more than the last few weeks! So that was great and then
we went and met up with a family who had their relatives pass away a few weeks
ago, so we went to a funeral and had some amazing food! The rest of the day was
great also! We went and met with the Narine family who has a son, Leon leaving
on his mission this upcoming Wednesday to Leeds England. He's a great guy who
is going to do amazing things on his mission! Ahh I love him bad!
So all in all it was a pretty successful week! I'm loving
the work couldn't think of anywhere I would rather be!
I love you all and hope you're having a great summer!
Love, Elder Dorrance
