Well
this week was a huge success in finding new people to teach!
On
Tuesday I was able to go on a trade-off with Elder Albis but it was funny
because while they were going to do language study we were going to go finding
for a bit but we got a call from the manager of all the buildings in Trinidad
asking us to go to the church and open it up for some guys dropping off some
chairs that he ordered which was kind of silly because that's not really our
responsibility... haha But Elder Albis and I found some super sweet people that
are very interested! It was a day full of answered prayers for sure!
On
Wednesday we were able to have a great day out in Princes town visiting a bunch
of members out there. Unfortunately, we also got a phone call the night before telling us
that the first counselor in the Stake President was murdered in his driveway.
It was a pretty huge shock to everyone in the church and country here in
Trinidad. He worked for the water company. It was sad to see but we got a
couple phone calls on Wednesday telling us more about it from members and what
not. But the funniest thing that happened on Wednesday was a lesson at night.
We saw a lady who is a friend of a member and just talks our ears off. She
doesn't even really let us teach her! Haha
On
Thursday we had a zone meeting in the morning which was good and it all went
well and then I was able to go and do a baptismal interview for a wonderful
lady from the Dominican Republic who speaks little to no english. I was able to
have Elder Uri translate for me and it was just a sweet experience! The gift of
tongues is real! HAha But we just had to hang out at the church until like 8
o'clock because we were waiting our turn for interviews with the mission
president.
Then
on Saturday we had two baptisms which was sweet! we had one down in Point
Fortin in the Morning and then another one for Sister Isabel who is the spanish
lady up in San Fernando! It was so cool to see Elder Uri be able to translate
everyones testimonies and was even able to do the baptismal prayer in spanish!
It was so cool to see!
Sunday
we were able to have a bunch of less actives come out to church which was super
cool! There is also a member of the church who spoke spanish on his mission and
was able to confirm Sister Isabel on Sunday in spanish as well! Just a great
weekend to be a missionary for sure!
Sorry
this email is so spotty, but I'm out of time! Love you all!
Adios!
Bless
up!
