EVEN MORE HAITIANS, A FLOOD IN MY HOME AND I FOUND MY DAD!

May 10, 2017

So this week was actually pretty dang eventful!

We've met EVEN MORE Haitians - three of them - and we taught the Restoration to all of them at once! It went swimmingly for two of them but the other one just kept asking questions like, "but if I read the Book of Mormon, how do I know I won't be tricked by Satan?"..... ugh! We tried our best to explain and by the end he agreed to pray before-hand and when we said we would give them one the other two were like "Yeah we'll read it!" and took it from us all happy-like!

We also had another lesson with our other, more established Haitians, John and Arnold Delmont (Gracien Delmont was sick so couldn't come). We had it in the chapel and showed them Finding Faith in Christ in French! They loved it and Arnold was crying! We invited them to a baptismal date and they both accepted! Afterward, we had invited all our Haitians and other investigators, as well as a bunch of members, to play soccer at the church! The Haitians played REALLY well and were showing all the Chileans up hard... we ended up mixing up the teams so there would be no racial tension! 

Four of our Haitian investigators came to church and 3 stayed for all 3 hours! It was awesome and they're getting better at Spanish! Our Spanish classes have been going well and it's been a great way to retain them and help them get to know the church as they continue becoming comfortable with the language!

Oh yeah! It rained a bunch and one of the rooms in our house flooded! It was super lame, but at least it wasn't where we sleep and nothing important got damaged! Also, the floor was kinda cleaner by the time everything was said and done... so I guess it wasn't too bad. 

Anyway, that was most the week! Super excited to talk to everyone on Sunday!!!

I found my 'dad', Elder Sims, at a zone activity!
p-day activity. We split into two teams by means of paint and then did various games for points. I was happy to see Elder Sims again
Flooded floors


​ Me in the bed when Carlos (a member) came into our room in the morning and started shaking it. All of the sudden, all the boards fell out of the bunk bed and my mattress just fell through...
I just put the boards back on. He pretty much did what he was going for. LOL
