Hey!!!! So this week has been
pretty good we went on splits yesterday and I went out with the elders quorum
President. He can be really stubborn and only really wanted to visit less active
members which is good because that is the focus for missionary work in the
islands right now, but what was really cool was seeing him get excited when we
had opportunities to make contacts when we couldn't find the members. He was
quiet at first but got really pumped to teach investigators that we found
together and the hearts of those people were very open because of him being
there as a witness of how the gospel has changed his life and he would talk about
what the young missionaries of our church really do.
Jasmine our last baptism
had a little slip up with the word of wisdom which was really scary for her
sister and us, and she totally held strong after she slipped up and met with
president and is doing a whole lot beter now she goes back to Holland this
thursday though so that is kind of sad to have to say goodbye to her.
Someone
new that we have been teaching is so amazing his name is Rudolph and he is from
here about 53 years old and really has a lot of desire to make changes in his
life. He works as a guard at the prison her and always has some really crazy
stories for us ha. This sunday he had the night shift before church so he stayed
up all night and went from work to church without even taking the time to eat or
sleep and when he got here he realized he still had his firearm on he said this
to Elder Irizarry and was kind of nervous because I guess he has rules that he
has to have it with him at all times. So he was worried we wouldn't let him in
elder Irazarry said as long as it didn't go off it will be ok.. but hopefully he
won't bring it next time ha. He is now fighting on leaving behing smoking and
had a miracle last week he said he lit five cigarettes in a row and they were
all bad and made him cough and he couldn't take it so he even tried switchin
brands and all the cigarettes he lit he couldn't smoke either. Really cool to
see him act upon his desires to be baptized probably one of the most dedicated
people I have met yet and I know if he really wants to change God will help him
do what he wants to do.
What else...oh yeah for my Birthday I was thinking maybe
