BAPTISM UPS AND DOWNS AND GIANT 'COMPLETOS'

August 16, 2017

This week was kinda tough. we had some baptismal dates but they've all fallen through and it's been hard to find new people to teach as of late. We'll try today to get one of the dates back. 

Today we're going to see Alexander, who just got married, and hopefully we can get things rolling with him. He got married so he could get baptized but it doesn't look like he 100% wants to. We're gonna have to work with him and see because for his wife, this is the second person she's married who wasn't at first a member of the Church and the last time it was tough on her. 

Transfers came and went and a lot of missionaries went home and a LOT arrived! Every single companionship in the Zone is training except the ZLs, Sister Training Leaders, and the DLs. So we'll be doing lots of divisions! 

We've been finding some more Haitians this week and kinda re-found a couple that used to go to church but were never taught. The owner of their rental house is an evangelical and doesn't want us teaching in there so we have to teach in the chapel. We're going to see if we can get a French-speaking missionary to help us out, but it might be hard because the one that helped us last is now an assistant so he's a bit busy. The others are hard to get a hold of. 

Today for P-day we played some soccer and watched part of Beauty and the Beast. The half I got to see was pretty great! Afterwards, we went to a food joint called "Corbatas" (ties) because their completos (hot dogs with lots of toppings) are as long as "Corbatas."

This week was a bit of a hard one in terms of the work, but I'm excited with all the Greenies! It's gonna be cool helping them grow and progress!

-Ok, Elder Sierra peace out!
