This week things have finally seemed to pick up after our hard work! The ward mission leader's wife's birthday was on Monday and, since mine was on Thursday, they invited me over to have some food and cake. After my birthday on Thursday, we started finding some great investigators one right after the other!
Solomon is a Haitian who went to a chapel open house close by. We received the reference for him and have been able to teach him a couple of times. He's really cool and we're going to invite him to a baptismal date this week. He already accepted a baptismal invitation.
We were able to get back in contact with and thus start teaching another Haitian we had contacted. His name is Jofhner and he actually almost got baptized in a different stake! Instead, he went to take a job out of town. Well, it turns out that job was garbage and now he wants to do things right! He told us he wants to get baptized and that he knows the Book of Mormon is true and he talked about how he felt something different when he read the Book of Mormon. He hasn't committed to a date yet, though we were only able teach him once.
Our other good new investigator is Onial! We've gotten to teach him twice since last Friday and he's really interesting! He asked all kinds of really good questions and when we gave answers he really seemed to stop and think. He was already baptized in an Evangelical church, which is usually a problem for Haitians, that is, getting baptized "a 2nd time." He really understood the principles of authority, though, and he accepted a baptismal date for the 1st of July. The only tough thing is that he works two Sundays out of the month, but we'll see.
For my b-day, my comp made me some gluten-free cake from a mix President sent us and we had sushi the night before.
Sunday, Mikaela came to church! Rene couldn't because he was sick. Then, at 3rd hour, she went to the Relief Society and I went over to Hermana Brown (sister missionary) and said, "Hey, I'll accompany your Haitian investigator to Priesthood if you accompany ours to Relief Society." And then she said, "Don't worry, I got your black" 
Anyway, things are getting better here. We'll see if I stay here to hopefully see some baptisms of our Haitian investigators. That's how things are, hope you all are well!
