So this week was pretty average, nothing too much out of the
ordinary, a lot of work.
On Tuesday we had district meeting on asking inspired
questions, and the questions we should use, it was really good! Then that
afternoon we went contacting, haha we didn't have too many appointments set up
for the day so we went and we knocked on doors and tried to find some new
people to teach.
On Wednesday we were having a super awesome day, we went and
taught a contact we had the week before and had an awesome lesson with him. His
name is Philippe. (Yes, it's french) He had a ton of questions and we played
some dominoes and he made us popcorn, but when we came outside to head home my
bike had been stolen... yeah I was pretty devastated because that bike costs
about $1000.00 Bajan. so about 500 US. I didn't have the funds to get it back
so I was pretty distraught. Especially when we had to go fill out a police
report... oh man, it was bad news...
On Thursday we went looking for the bike for a bit and
contacted a few people, but we did have a great lesson with a woman named
heather in the evening, we watched the restoration video with her and her son
in law which went really well and I hope they read before we go back!
On Friday we got a call telling us that our bike had been
found by Philippe's older brother Pierre. So when we got to their house it
turns out that the person who stole it was trying to part it out so the bike
was in pieces so we watched Pierre's friend put my bike back together, a little
too quickly, almost as if he knew exactly what he was doing... but anyway there
was a few pieces missing but other than that everything was good! Then we had
an awesome first lesson with a woman named Wendy who just told us straight up
that she wants to be baptized and when her friend stopped by we told her about
the Book of Mormon and they both told us that they want to look into it and get
baptized! It was amazing!
On Saturday we got our transfer calls and I found out that
I'll be staying here in Barbados and Elder Barlow is going to St. Martin.
That's the second comapnion I've sent to St. Martin. My new companion is a
fresh greeney from Tonga. No clue what his name is but I'm excited to meet him
on Wednesday!
On Sunday we had great church and another awesome lesson
with Phillipe in the evening!
It was a pretty great week and I am beyond excited for the
upcoming weeks.
Thanks for all the love and support!
I love you tons and hope to hear from you soon!
Love, Elder Dorrance
