Hey, so this week was interesting just in that our teaching pool has been moving around and we've had some ups and downs.
Ramses and Watson have not been progressing as much as we had hoped. It's not too much their fault since their parents go to a different church. While that's a bit sad and we might have to consider dropping them, we did find a new investigator through them, Alexandre. He's their friend (26 years old) and he seems very interested. We're going to teach him today.
Our other promising Haitian investigators have just seemed to fall off the map. We've pretty much lost contact with them so that's been the mainly discouraging thing this week.
We did, however, find a new investigator, Jackson. He lives in the same house as our Haitian RM Michel and he helped us teach him. It was actually a fantastic first lesson and Jackson accepted a baptismal invitation. We'll be hoping to set a baptismal date with him tomorrow.
Rene and Mikaela have been doing surprisingly well, considering their circumstances. Rene started with chemotherapy on Sunday. We visited him the same day and it was very sad to see him suffering so much. He was in the fetal position in his bed kinda writhing in pain. We saw him Monday, though, and he was much better. They're still set on getting married and baptized once the whole ordeal is over so we just gotta be patient, I guess.
I'm just hoping we can continue to find people to teach and help these last few weeks. I'm also thankful to be with such a good companion these last two transfers. Elder Pardo's really someone who wants to learn and work hard so, despite this being on of my more difficult areas, we've been having a good time workin' our tails off! Hope you all have a great week!
