Well all is well in this wild country of Suriname. How did I get here again?? Haha. We had a crazy week with lots of adventures. If you're wondering about my subject line the reason behind it is that I held a SLOTH! Dream come true. It was pretty awesome. They problem is the picture was on Sister Jorgensen's camera and she lost it. Good news is we are seeing it again tonight. It was cute. It hung on like a backpack.
So this week. I don't know what it was about this week but we had so many lessons fall through! Besides all that we did pretty well. We dropped some people that weren't progressing and did a lot more finding. That means I got a nice tan. I really am getting quite tan which also means tan LINES. Oh boy...haha.
Wednesday I had Sister Jensen and Sister Ashcraft with me in Tamenga. We had a fun time together. Of course we had a day filled with bike problems and lessons falling through. But what are you going to do? They are both great missionaries.
Update on some investigators. We had an awesome lesson with Consuela this week but her man wasn't there. It's hard to get them together! The spirit was really strong again. I know Heavenly Father wants them so bad! I hope I can help them make those steps. Consella was at church with her daughter. She has lots of friends in the church so that's nice! She bore her testimony in Relief Society.
Matilda is so hard to meet with. I feel like she is always too "busy" to sit with us. Her daughter Sheyenne is still doing really well. She remembers everything and always reads.
We took Sister Ibrihim out teaching with us yesterday and we saw this one investigator we hadn't seen since my first day here really. Her name is Beppi. She is this really sweet older lady. We always bring members when we see her because she loves asking them questions. Sister Ibrihim was answering all these questions Beppi had about the BOM and our church. It was really fun to listen to their discussion. Sister Ibrihim is the best!
This week we prayed as a companionship on how many people the Lord has prepared to be baptised by the end of next transfer. We feel that there are two people so we will acting completely in faith knowing that there are two people waiting. It's exciting. We are also praying to know what members to go seek referrals from. Member referrals are always the best. When I'm home one day I'm going to refer basically anyone I meet to the missionaries!
Like I said we did a lot of contacting. I've gotten a lot better but I still hate it. I'm glad I'm not in a mission where they have to contact the whole day... no thanks.
Dutch is still coming along and I've been making improvements. It feels actually normal to speak. I'm still not perfect though and I know I never will be.
I got Stephen and Richard's packages this week! Thanks sooo much! I loved it all and really appreciated the thoughts! Mom still no card yet...
Well I don't have any pictures this week but I love you all! Missions are hard and tiring but always an adventure.
Love,
Elizabeth
