Letter Home - Week 33

The weeks are flying by! This week we did a lot of travel arrangements and immigration stuff. It was fun. Everything worked out pretty well. We also helped another member move. This week we have "moved" since our bedroom has been destroyed. We had to take everything out of our room and live in Elder Hardy and now Elder Merritt's apartment until they fix the tile in our room. It's fun. We love hanging around them. We had a DL training that we were a part of that the AP's taught. It was about counsels. I learned a lot from it. We went over a talk by Elder Ballard about it. I learned about leading with love. I'm trying hard to do that and to really love the people that I serve. There was a baptism up here in Castries for Elder Powell and Elder Wallentine. Elder Powell is the new DL up here in Castries. Her name is Shernice Montlouis. She is 21 and the service was really nice. It was great to see how happy see was. She had a big smile on her face. We've been teaching here lately a young lady named Odellia Amadee around the same age as Shernice who is a recent convert since back in August. She is great. She is going to help friendship Shernice. Some of the people that I mention in an email we end up stop meeting with them for a variety of reasons or it's just hard to get in contact or find a time to meet so there may be some that I talk about and then don't talk about because we haven't seen them in a while. I wish it worked out that we could visit every single person but sometimes it just doesn't work out. I am trying to write about the main investigators that we have but I can do better for you guys. This week we taught Kevin. We've been teaching and helping him with the commandments and also gaining for himself a testimony. We had a great lesson on forgiveness and repentance. He has had a hard time with forgiving himself for past mistakes and so we watched a Mormon message called reclaimed. It's great. It helped him. We are helping him to truly repent so he can feel the spirit more in his life and when he does he will be baptized. He has a strong desire and already considers himself a member. He is great. We also had a great couple of lessons with a lady named Joan. She is prepared to hear the message of the gospel. She wants more peace in her life and has had an experience, after teaching a lesson on charity, of applying that principle of the gospel and it bringing that peace into her life. She wants more of it. We then taught a powerful lesson on the restoration and invited her to be baptized and she said that it's something that she needs to do and accepted that invite. We hope things continue to go well with her. We also had an FHE with a lady who hadn't been to church in a long time. She works on Sundays and it's hard for her to go. She has been taught recently by Sister Maico and Sister Conrad and yesterday she came to Church! After we had the FHE and we had a fun lesson about Lahonti and read in the Book of Mormon. I love you all so much! Have a great week!

 

Love,
