Hey everyone!!
I hope that everything is going great at home. This week was very interesting, but we had a ton happen at it was super fun. But i guess to start off i will talk about all the rain that we got. On Saturday night we just got dumped on, it was super crazy. We just got rain and more rain and even more rain. It rained so much that all of the streets were just plum full, and the canals were more full then i had ever seen it. I will have to send yall pictures next week, because i forgot the cord for the camera!
Also this week we got to go and have some exchanges with the district leaders in the Zone. I got to go with a Elder named Elder Johnston, he is a great missionary and we had a really good time. We had a pretty cool experience, we were out and we were knocking some doors and we had only knocked a couple of doors and there was a family that let us in. And they were awesome, it was one of the best restoration lessons that i have ever had in my mission. They were so prepared and so willing to listen, It was really amazing, and they told us they wanted us back as soon as possible. Then right after that we had a dinner appointment with a part member family that aren't married. We talked with them about temples and what are the blessing of a temple and what a purpose for it is. And we had another great lesson and he told us that he wanted to get married before i went home so i could be there for them! I was super excited and i hope i can do as much as I can to help them. We really had a good time on exchanges and we saw so many tender mercy's, and i was so grateful for them.
Also this week people were actually opening doors and we were able to see about almost everyone we wanted to and needed to see. Also something kind of cool, while we were on exchanges, Elder Cooley was doing some tracting and they found a family from Brazil, and they only speak Portuguese, so we are going to be talking some members that can speak Portuguese to come with us to teach them. Also a funny story that we have from this week, we were going over to the church on Saturday while it was raining super hard. And the sisters were having a baptism and wanted some help setting some stuff up. So we got there about a half an hour early to set up, and we go to the font and the water is only up to one stair...... and it talks about 2 hours to fill.... and the baptism started in a half hour. So we started to run like mad men, we had about 8 pitches, and we were filling the with water and running the the font and trying to fill it up as fast as we could. We could a couple of water coolers and we started to fill them up and throw it into the font. It was so crazy, and we found out that they for got to put something over the plug, so it was draining slowly the entire time. So we just kept going, and filling it up, and about a hour later we finally got it to where they could baptize him. But while they were doing the talks and getting everything ready we had to keep filling it so it didn't all drain...... Needless to say it was a crazy night and they baptism had to start about a hour late. But it was pretty funny and we give them a lot of crap about it.
But we had a great week and saw so many tender mercy's this week and it was really such a blessing. I hope that yall had a good week and your continuing in the gospel!! Love and miss yall!!
