It has felt like a really long, tiring week. We only have a
few investigators in this area so Elder Aukusitino and I decided that we would
focus on finding more and talking about the Book of Mormon.
On Tuesday we had a District Meeting which was really good
talking about teaching to investigators needs with the Book of Mormon. Then I
was able to go on a trade off with Elder Tillotson who was my Zone leader my
first two transfers in Berbice. It was a lot of fun getting to work with him
again. We had some great lessons in his area in Calliqua, but it was an all
around great day.
On Wednesday we were able to trade back in the morning and
head out with Elder Aukusitino. We actually had a lot of stuff fall through.
It's really different from Guyana because here when people want to go shopping
or the store they have to make a whole day of it because it is such a long walk
or bus ride into town to do any shopping so it is hard to find people at home a
lot of the time. But we were able to contact with the Book of Mormon a lot more
and actually had two of them turn into full lessons with the Book of Mormon.
It's sweet to see people have their interest peaked with the Book of Mormon.
On Thursday it was kind of a rough day, we had some good
lessons planned, but it was raining so hard for so long that nobody really
wanted to see us, so that was kind of a bummer to have everyone just ignore us
as we yelled at their house that we were there... But we did have a great
lesson with a woman named Sharon about the Restoration, they had a lot of good
questions about Joseph Smith and the entire family was there, so that was
really nice. But it really didn't stop raining all day until about 9 o'clock at
night right about when we got home, so that was kind of lame...
On Friday we had plenty fall through again even an activity
that the missionaries on the island had planned, so that was kind of lame. A
member that was there was telling us that it was because of how much it was
raining that day, which was crazy how much it really was raining... We were
only able to have a couple lessons and they were all contacting Book of Mormon
lessons that will hopefully read a little of it before we try to talk to them
again this week.
On Saturday we had an appointment fall through in the
morning and we had to go to the other Kingstown Elders area to Skype with
President Mehr about St. Vincent becoming a District. But St. Vincent is pretty
far off from becoming a district because Districts are just preparatory stakes,
and the island is a lot farther from that so, it was kind of a bummer but still
good to hear.
On Sunday we had some awesome talks given in church and a
member feed us lunch. We had stuff fall through again so we had a few contacts
and had to hustle back to church to go to choir practice, which should be
really good, we are singing at the end of this month in sacrament meeting, we
don't sound bad, but we are definitely not good either... haha. Then we were
able to go and visit Sharon and her family again and taught her and her friends
about the Book of Mormon. They all seemed really interested and told us they
were going home to compare it with their bible so that was really cool!
It was a busy week with lots of stuff fall through, but all
a good time either way! I'm glad everyone is doing well! Love ya tons,
Elder Dorrance
