So this week was pretty crazy and boring all at the same
time.
On Tuesday we had a combined district meeting in Blackrock
with the entire zone which was fun, because we get to sign some journals and
stuff, but at about 12 all of the trainers on the island had a kind of Skype
meeting into Trinidad to meet our new trainees and to learn from President Mehr, it was pretty cool! Then we spent the rest of the day with the Zone
Leaders because it didn't make any sense to drive all the way back to our area
just to come back down to spend the night in Oistins to get Elder Barlow off to
the airport by 6 A.M.
On Wednesday we were up bright and early to go drop those
goobers off at the airport, then elder Harding and I went to the driver license
place to get me a license so that Elder Felix and I could do some work while we
waited for Elder Moli (my new missionary) and Elder Felix's companion to get in. So after a bit we
headed to the airport to wait for about a half hour for their flight to get in,
but it turns out it was delayed since the morning and we waited for 3 hours
for his flight... After which we drove to the other elders apartment
for some lunch because we were dying and then headed on home to have a last
minute lesson with a guy named Tony and his brother Clyde! It was pretty good!
They seem to be interested in the Book of Mormon and are willing to give it a
try!
On Thursday we weekly planned and headed to the other
Elder's apartment for lunch because right after that we had to go practice for a
puppet show we were doing the next day. The puppet show practice was fine,
it's just a show about eating healthy and not drinking or smoking, it's kind of
funny at times and pretty cheesy at other times, but it's all for the kids...
Then we went home that night and had a lesson with a woman named Heather who
seems pretty cool, just barely meeting her though...
On Friday we got picked up and driven to where we had the
puppet show, it was this big festival thing they call aggrofest. It's all about
farmer stuff, but it looked a lot like a regular fair from home, but it went
pretty well. And since we were running on Caribbean standard time our show
didn't go on until about 2 hours late, so that took the whole day, then we had
game night at the branch with a big group of members which is always fun
beating Bajan people at dominoes, it's like their past time... haha good times!
On Saturday we had to do the puppet show again and it
started late AGAIN so we didn't get home until about 5 o'clock when we started
our fast. But we did have an awesome lesson with Pierre and Philippe. It was
awesome! We talked about the Book of Mormon again and really answered some
questions they had gotten from reading!
On Sunday we had regular fast and testimony meeting and
lunch at a members house after. But for some reason on Sundays nobody really
wants to talk to the missionaries because we had all of our set appointments
fall through on us, some of them we had even set up that day, kind of lame, but
it's all good!
It was a great week and I'm excited to be able to serve with
Elder Moli! He's a great missionary and we will be able to see a whole lot of
success here in St. George over the next few months!
Thanks for all you do and I hope that you have a great week!
Love you all!
Love, Elder Dorrance
