Hey!!
Sounds like you guys are doing pretty
good. That's great. I'm doing good. The weeks are starting to go by really quick
now. It seems like it's Monday every other day almost. Anyways...my week
was pretty good. Today the elder that was waiting on his visa to go to Brazil
left. So the other elder is companion-less. So starting now until the end of the
transfer which is in like 3 weeks we will be in a tri-companionship. We will be
working both of our areas together. We are going to have lots to do. All 3 of us
have been together for like 6 months now so we get along pretty easy so it
should be fun. We are going to have to start going to all day church too.
Yay...so let's see what happened this week. Umm....we got a call from this lady
that wanted us to come over and teach her about the church. So we got pretty
excited. We go over there and start talking to her a little bit. She was kind
of a weird lady. Then she was like I want to learn more because I have been
blessed with a special gift. She was like I can speak in tongues...so I'm just
trying to keep a straight face while this lady is talking to us. So we just keep
going. Then she was like I want to learn more about John Smith...I'm like oh
Joseph Smith? She's like yeah...John Smith. Haha. She was crazy. There are alot
of people down here that claim they are prophets and have seen Jesus and all
that crazy stuff. So our lesson with the Dubois was pretty good. We just taught
about the Holy Ghost. Things are still the same with her. Coming to church every
Sunday and not really making any more progress than that. So we just keep
chugging along until hopefully one day she will make a decision. A couple days
ago the Dubois were all riding in their car somewhere and they drove past this
little house with this old lady sitting out front. So Bro. Dubois got an
impression that he needed to stop and talk to her about the church. But all the
other family members wouldn't let him. So Bro Dubois lets us know about this older
lady and tells us to go visit her. So we go up to her and I ask her if we can
share a message with her blah blah blah....and she invites us right in without
any hesitation. She was super glad that we stopped by to see her. She was
telling us all about her little 1 bedroom house thats 90 years old. Her name is
Mary and she is 85 years old. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and where
it came from. She wanted to buy the book from us but we told her it was
free. She told us she was going to read a few chapters before she went to bed
and she wanted us to come back and teach her more. She was probably one of the
nicest older ladies I've ever met. So we're going to have to go back and see where
we can go with her. We probably need to hurry because I don't know how much
longer she has to live. So that was pretty much my week. Love you all
lots.
