Well this week I got some great
news!
I can't remember if I told you or
not but a couple weeks ago one of the converts from Cien Fuegos called me and
told me that he is going on a mission! He is going to Honduras in October which
was so great. I am so excited for him, he is going to be a great missionary.
Also this week their little brother Melvin is going to be baptised. When I was
there I thaught him and he was about to be baptized but then he moved to the
country and couldn't be baptized and he called me this week and told me that he
had moved back permenantly and that the missionaries taught him again and he is
going to be baptized today. I got permission to go so that is going to be great
to be able and see them all again and see him get baptized.
This week was also pretty sad
because two missionaries that extended their missions had to finish this week.
President asked them to stay for a little while to see if the missionaries from
Peru were going to get here with their visa problems. So they stayed as long as
they could but they had to go this week. It was pretty sad because they were
two good friends of mine. I hate saying goodbye. We also taught Dante. We are
helping him reactivate and he is solid. He has gone to church every week and is
now going in a shirt and tie, we finally found his records and so they are now
in the ward. He also has been going to institute. Before he decided to come
back to church he was in a rock band and was pretty into that. I sent a picture
and all the guitars we are holding he made them and there was another star
guitar behind us that he made. He played a little for us and he is way good. He
has also left with us to teach some of our investigators and less active. He is
such an awesome guy!
This week we have also been
traveling alot doing moves and getting missionaries. So we went up to do a move
of some missionaries that were having problems with their neighbor in puerto
plata. It is a lady in her twenties that wears very scanky clothing and always
has different guys with her and they share a front porch with her and that was
becoming a problem. So we went to move the missionaries, and I went up the
stairs to help them carry some stuff down. It was just awkward. so when I got
up there she said, "HEEeeellLLLLOOO" Then as I was going down the
stairs, she said, " papi cuidado si te caes" which basically means
" Be careful Baby so you don't fall." So after that I just stayed at
the bottom at the truck and she kept yelling down to me in broken english,
"Hey my friend look up here." "I love you" " I need to
go to this church on sunday" It was a good thing that we got the
missionaries out of that house, but they had a lot of crap in that house and it
took a lot of trips back and forth. The trip was worth it because we bought
some cinnimon pinapple almond bread that was really good, So we ate that on the
way home.
It was an interesting week with lots
of work and lots of driving, but that's what it takes to get it done. That is
so great that you guys did so well in County swim tornament, you guys are
really great swimmers. Just keep up all the great work! Love you all tons!
