WOW! So much has changed. I am officially with Sister Christiansen! Life is aweeeesome! We are both so ready to flood Wanica with the water of baptism. It's cheesy but it's true. We have had the best time together and are already seeing success.
Wednesday was exchange day. We saw Faizel that day and had a really good lesson. He says he knows the BOM is true. He says that he has prayed to God and he knows. Whenever he is having a hard day he reads from the BOM and feels better. It was exciting. There is still potential there but he didn't come to church on Sunday. We have to get him there! But still, he's coming back to life.
We helped decorate the church that night for a wedding the next day. There was a family in the church. The kids were baptized but the parents were not because they weren't married. But the Elder's worked hard and they agreed to get married so they could get baptized. They were so cute and excited. The wedding was on Thursday night. I attached a pic of me singing with the choir for the wedding. The wedding dress and colors was another story. The wedding was a great time. Like I always say, the members here are the best!

| Wedding Day |
Friday and Saturday were great days of missionary work. We had good lessons and got to visit some members. It just feels like a blur but I know that it was good. We saw Mohan and agreed to work on his divorce but it turns out that Mala doesn't want to marry Mohan because she gets money from the Government for being a single mom. Grrrrrrrreat. Haha. We will see. It will give us some time to really find out if he is legit.
We followed up with that one contact Shanifa that we found when the AP's were shadowing us. She is really cool and we both see some good potential there. This week we are going to be talking to a lot of people and search for the ripe people of Suriname.

Church was good! Funny story Sister C told me was she was sitting in between all these little girls in sacrament meeting. They were playing with this rose (probably left over from the wedding) and in the middle was this bud of fabric type thing. One of the little girls starts pulling out this fabric in the middle. It's like this string. All of a sudden one of the little girls holds up this string in front of her and Sis C realizes that she's holding up this red lingerie thong!!!! I wish I saw this but I was sitting somewhere else. Sis C said it was so funny. The girls were just wondering what it was and Sis C told the girl to put it down and started rolling it back up. I thought that was so funny!
Oh man it's going to be a great transfer. We are trying as a zone to get 7 baptisms and I think we can do it! It's exciting. It's just going to be awesome. It feels too good to be true honestly.
Love you all!
