Ia ora na tatou!
This past week has FLOWN by
holy cow!!
It was a kind of slow week but
we actually got a lot done!
First off: Our new amis named
Kawai who is 17 totally accepted her date du bapteme pour le 26 DECEMBRE! And
better yet her boyfriend is a membre too! Since she isn't 18 yet she has to get
permission from her parents to get baptized and they're Adventiste. She told us
she talked to her dad and he said "well...if their church has guides then
you should follow them. I kinda wish our church has guides, but we dont. so you
should follow them." And her mom said that it was totally Kawai's decision
and that whatever she decides she will support her daughter. YEEEESSSSSS.
So last tuesday we were doing
porte a porte with a mini missionary, and I kid you not every single house we
went to had a dog, and EVERY single house we went to we got chased BY those
dogs...on foot. So that was an adrenaline rusher haha.
So every week we have a
normally fixed lecon with a non-practiquant named Noel. He's this older man
that apparently went inactif right after his bapteme...sad i know right. BUT
we've been having these lecons with him, and this past week he wasn't there but
another amis we see off and on named Hubert was there. When Hubert saw us he
had the biggest smile on his face and told us he was happy to see us and then
completely out of the BLUE tells us that Frere Noels house isn't the best place
to be all the time because that's where big "deals go down." THAT'S
right everyone...we have been teaching a drug dealer at the base drug house....HAHAHA.
And then Hubert just comes out and tells us he's a drug dealer too, and he
knows it's not the best thing to do, but it's just super hard to find work
anywhere else. After that we taught him the first lecon and Hubert soaked it
all in like a sponge!! He really loved l'histoire de Joseph Smith and asked us
to come back this week!!
This past week we have been
blessed with rain...and not just any rain but Alabama April thunderstorms with
thunder and lightning and wind like no other. For a while we thought a cyclone
had finally come but no. And one day we had to go on bike in our sector, and
keep in mind we have a mountain sector. So we rode in the pouring rain and wind
up and down the mountain the entire day. No lie...I love biking in the rain but
it was a little harder than I thought it would have been. When we finally got
home I realized that my BACK TIRE was pretty much FLAT....hahahaha. How I
didn't realize that before we left is a mystery to me #dosport #megrir
And Saturday we had to take a
road trip to Maraa for one of our baptemes. Her name is Nelly and she is 17,
and was super ready to be baptized. She literally had no problems with any of
the commandments and already knew every thing was true. And she planned her
entire bapteme, so all we had to do was "show up" which is how she
put it.
This coming Friday we have
another bapteme for a jeune gens qui est George. He is 16 and is pretty similar
to Nelly. He was just born ready to hear and accept the gospel.
J'espere vous tous puissiez avoir
un bon vacances pour Noel et se souvenir notre Sauveur et frere Jesus-Christ.
Ua here au ia outou!
Je vous aime!
