This
week has been pretty interesting.
Today we went with a
member here in the ward Miguel into the mountains to go hiking. So we started
off at 7:30 with our backpacks packed with food and water and headed towards
the mountains. He took us up this trail that runs by a river bed and was dry and
first and then by the top had lots of water. Then we turned up this other
little river bed and went up there for a while. He showed us all the crabs and
things that there were under the rocks and things. Then we got to this little
water fall thing and we had to crawl up that which was really fun. It was
really rain foresty up there with lots of plants and vines and things which was
good because that really helped up while we were climbing up the water slide
things. We kept walking up further and ran into two more of those and had to
climb up those because there was no way that we were going to be able to go
back down. Then we hiked way the heck up there to this tiny school that was
there at the end of this never ending hill that just kept going and going and
going. It was really hot and we were sweating a lot. We got up there and ate a
quick lunch of sandwiches and juice that we had brought. We took some photos
and then headed back down. On the way down we saw two little snakes. We didn´t
get home until after 2 in the afternoon, but it was really fun.
This week has been
interesting with the work. We finally got a list from the branch of all the
members so we sat down with one of the oldest members in the branch and asked
where they all lived because the list isn’t very good about describing where
they all live. So we have been going around and trying to find all the less
actives. We have been walking around a bunch and as of now we have found one
and the house of another. Then we found two that aren´t on the list. One
stopped us a while ago and told us that he is a member but we thought that he
lived somewhere else, and this week we were able to find where he lives. Then
while we were walking through the poor Haitian village that is in our area and
there was a big group of guys there talking creol and out of the middle a guy
said in very bad English, so bad that my companion didn´t even understand,
¨come here¨ so we went over there and he told us that he is member and had
moved back here from Haiti but hasn´t been able to go to church because of his
work. It is going great and now it isn´t as sketchy going through that area,
because we have started an English class here and at first it wasn´t going very
good, but now we have had 17 last week and this week we had 18. There have been
a lot of Haitians there and so now when we are walking through there every now
and again we see some of them and they are very nice to us and say ¨hey Profes¨
Well other things have
been happening this week. On Saturday on the way to the English class we went
by a house of a lady that is in active and is going to another church. We went
by and walked with her to the English class because it can be dangerous down
there, and then on Sunday her sister and her showed up at church with their kids.
It was really awesome, we were really happy about that.
This week has been a
little bit difficult because the people that we are working with and some of
the other people have been having pretty serious couple problems and we have
been trying to work with that. It is hard because when we are seeing more
progress in the branch and with the area, and then what we thought was going
pretty well takes a bad turn. So that is going to be something that we are
going to be working with this week.
Well I love you all
tons and hope that you guys have a great Halloween tomorrow! I hope that you
sent some pictures of your costumes. Love you tons and talk to you next week!
