So after weeks of silence, the dogs decided to jump out of
the shadows once again, but we will save that story for the end. This week was
a great week, we are getting a ton of work done, and on Sunday Belen was
baptized by her dad! We will see if I can send photos because I am writing in a
super ghetto cyber cafe, but we will see.
Ok so the highlight of the week was definietly on Sunday.
Church was awesome, there were so many people that showed up that we had to
open the overflow which is the first time that has ever happened to me here on
my mission, I could not believe it! It was also fast and testimony bmeeting and
there were some great stories and experiences shared, it was a great day for
all of our investigators and less actives the spirit was very strong in our
appointment. Then later that afternoon we had Belens baptism! She was
baptized by her dad and the Spirit was so strong, it was awesome to see the
change in the family during our time with them and teaching them. Afterwards they
invited us to their house and we ate cinnamon rolls! Also the first time I have
had those on the mission as well so it was pretty awesome, overall it was just
a good day. Yesterday I was on divisions with an Elder named Elder Murphy and
we went to a reference that we got the day before for a Haitian. We went inside
and ended up teaching the whole family, but the problem was that they spoke
Creole, their native language so I understood nothing. then out of nowhere
Murphy starts speaking Creole with the people, I was so impressed, looks like I
need to start waking up a half hour earlier to get some more language study
in!
Ok so story of the week. We had been having a pretty good
time with no problems with the dogs or nothing ever since I fell off the roof and
cannot ride on the bike, and then this last week they decided to go crazy
again. We were walking home in the night and we turned a corner and a dog was
in the street and started freaking out on us, but it was a little dog and we
paid it no attencion. I guess it felt threatned that we walked towards it
because then it turned around and ran inside a fence barking its head off and
came running outside with a giant, sheep herding looking dog! We slowly had to
back our way out of there until they calmed down. I thought we were dead, no
lie.
Life is going great and we are back to normal! I am loving
the mission and I know that all we do is for a reason, and that we teach and
preach the true, restored Gospel of Jesus Christ! Love you all, have a great
week!
Love,
