Dear Family,
Sorry last weeks letter was a little short, the computer wasn't working
too well. This wek flew by so fast. we've been busy teaching lots
of lessons. Time goes by so much faster when we have people to
teach!
Last week Mckuen was baptized. I sent pictures of it i think.
It was a really sweet baptism. Mckuen is the greatest example of a
change of heart. The first lesson we taught him was on March
20 and he was baptized just a little over two months later and did a
complete 180! He's a perfect example of how we all can change with just a
little desire and the 3 basic building blocks; prayer, scripture study, and
church! Yesterday he received the Aaronic Priesthood and said the opening
prayer in sacrament meeting. It all just happened so fast. We
didn't even know he was getting the priesthood yesterday and then they
announced it during sacrament meeting. So that was really awesome.
The branch is doing a great job of helping him adjust. And we did
absolutely nothing in his conversion. He was just prepared. We are
so blessed that got to be here to witness it. We met him because he just
showed up one day to church out of the blue!
This weekend our investigator Karina is getting baptized!
She's 17 years old and another one of those prepared people. We did
nothing with her either. We've only taught her a few times but she's
ready! She wants to serve a mission and everything. She loves young
womens and was already good friends with the girls there. She's going to
be a great asset to the branch because she speaks English and Spanish and is a
good bridge between the two cultures.
Basically we aren't doing much. Heavenly Father just puts
these people in our path. This week I've really learned about timing.
We've been set apart to find the people here who are preapere in my time
and as long as we are just trying to find them, Heavenly Father will lead them
to us.
Two weeks ago we went to Nevis for P day. It was beautiful.
A lot like here but smaller and quieter. It was a lot of fun.
We took the ferry to get over there. It only took about 30 minutes.
It was nice to just leave our island for a little bit. We just
walked around and then we went to the Elder's baptism, so I'm really glad we
could be there for that.
Last week we just relaxed and ate lunch at a Rasta farm. It was
the best thing I've ever eaten. I don't know why everyone's into
hipsters. Rasta is so much cooler. Thinking about adopting the
Rasta lifestyle. Mormon rasta? haha it could work. We did
yoga there the other week. You guys would love it. When we come
back, I'll have to take everyone there! Today the branch is going to the
beach for a bbq so we will probably go there for an hour then back to the Rasta
farm haha.
Well nothing else is that new over here. Just lots of work
to do! We found some beautiful conch shells on the side of the road while
contacting, so that was a plus. Made contacting a little more fun!
It's mango season so we just eat mangoes and star fruit all day.
This is the last week of the transfer so I don't know if I will be
staying or going. I am getting a little anxious to know! Lots of mixed
feelings.
Well it sounds like everyone is doing great. You're all in
my prayers! Thanks for all the love and support! xoxo
