Well sadly I can't say I have toooo much to report on but it was a decent week. Last Monday we went to a members and watch 17 miracles. It was great to see that movie again and be reminded of how blessed I am. A mission doesn't look nearly as hard as what the pioneers went through.
It was a slower week when it came to lessons. Rita is back in Guyana now. She doesn't know if she's coming back yet haha. I don't know! But it's ok. She has a BOM and she knows how to get a hold of us. She said she would call us so maybe we can pass her off to the elders in Guyana. We shall see.
Ernesto was still a no show at church! That kid drives me crazy! Haha. Man he can be super flaky. He really is a great kid though. He's been reading his Book of Mormon so that's been a good step for him. I think he'll just take time.
We hadn't been teaching Faizel but surprisingly he came to church yesterday. I think the youth Sunday school teacher called him. He still doesn't want to give up tea and coffee but we are meeting with him again this week so we will see how it goes.
We met with Mohan this week and had a good lesson. He too seems like it will take time before everything makes sense to him. I'm waiting for the click moment.
We met a girl yesterday who seems really cool! She is really involved in her church though so I don't know if she will ever leave. But I was talking to her and I asked if she had any kids. She's 28. She said she did have a son but he passed away. I got to testify a little of the Plan of Salvation. We are seeing her next Sunday. I forgot her name...oops.
We also met with a boy named Chiffon. He's really cool! He's probably 15 or so. Really smart kid and seems to understand everything we teach. He reads what we ask him to. Hopefully we can see him progress.
We didn't meet with Sabayo's again! Everytime we go someone is not home or something wrong happens. We also didn't meet with Sister Yosefsoon.
I love the church members here. Everyone is so nice! They are willing to come out teaching and help in any way. Like I said before I am very impressed with how the church is run here. Seems pretty smooth from what I can see. However people say Wanica Branch is the best. There is a lot of reactivation to do here. We are really trying to focus on that as a mission.
Learning a language takes so mmmuch time it feels like. It is coming, I'm in no doubt of that. However it's very frustrating not being able to teach the way I want to. I was praying this past week and just asking why have you taken away alllll the things I had going for me...teaching, comp, etc. I heard the distinct answer, "So that you would turn to me!" I know He's right...but it still is hard.
To answer your bike questions dad: Yes we have lights on our bikes! And we ride in the dark everyday haha. It's pretty safe riding your bike here in Wanica. It's pretty country.
Mom: Sister Doxey and I will definitely be able to talk to each other just fine. I might say things a little differently but it's the same dutch. I'm also so happy you had Sour Sop! It's the best. My favorite is the juice. When it comes to the package thing I don't know...You could send it to Trinidad It would just take a long time to get to me. Sister Johnson's mom might be sending the info to you once her family gets internet after their move. I'm sorry I don't have much info. I'll try and get the info from the elders this week. They are good at answering me. Sorry mom! In the morning I'll usually do some ab workouts and things like that. I count my biking as my cardio.
Sorry to hear about Monroe. Send my love!
Thanks for the letters and I love you all!! Keep living life and living the gospel.
Love,
Elizabeth
