Other than the few momentary setbacks that we had dealing with that, the week was pretty good. We did some great work here. We starting teaching a few member referrals, who are pretty awesome. One of them, is named Marcos, and the missionaries taught him a little while ago but never went back. We talked with him this week with his member friend and he told us that he has been reading the Book of Mormon by himself, and that he prayed and feels that it's true. He said that since he's been reading the Book of Mormon his life has changed, everything is just better, and he's making changes in his life. He wasn't able to go to church this week because he had to leave for work, but he promised that this week he will be there. We are going to invite him and his daughter who recently started living with him to be baptized when we visit them tomorrow.
We had another good referral from members this week as well. We showed up to visit the members and their neighbor was there, he had never been taught by the missionaries but had visited church once. We taught him a really cool lesson, and we marked to come back. It was very good.
Saturday was the branch activity, (Saturday was independence day here so there was literally nothing to do in the city) which was really cool, we left in the morning, and while we were there we played ball, had some barbecue, and the members (not the missionaries) swam in the river which was really nice. I wanted to but....oh well.
This is the river that cuts through the city.
Yeah. I walked on the water.
Me and my companion and another member cut down some coconuts to drink/eat. Really good.
My comp fell out of that coconut tree twice, and i fell out of it once.
All for a little coconut milk!
We played more ball, and then after a while we came back home. it was a good way to spend the day. There were a few investigators there so we made the best of it.
Sunday was pretty crazy. We had 29 non-members at church. The branch president is really working. He teaches a class at the police academy, and he invited his students to come to church. There were so many of them that we couldn't even get all their addresses! It was pretty good though,
But yeah, that was basically our week.
We are working hard, I don't really want to leave the area without a baptism here, so that's what we're working for. It's going to come pretty close...
Love you all, in a few days I'll be with you again!
