The neighbour

Hey

This week was alright. We are doing well. We wen't to teach a new investigator named Bryan the other day. We called into his house and his neighbor said he wasn't home so we decided to talk to the neighbor. Her name was Brenda and found that she is Brother Prince's sister. She told us how the missionaries use to teach her but when they moved the new ones never came by and she was offended by that. We had a little talk with her and set up a time to teach her. we'll see how that goes. 

Time to tell you about Canje. Canje is pretty similar to my other areas. However what is different is its made up of a whole bunch of little villages all bunched up together. Its a fairly large area we cover and lots of back and forth biking. Vreed en Hoop the villages were more separated and in Diamond it was a little more congested. All and all the houses are pretty much the same. Same with the smells unless your riding past the estate (sugar factory). It has a little bit of a funny smell. Lots of sugar cane fields here. The food here is the same but we don't get fed very much here. When we do they usually just go and buy us Chinese food which is pretty good. 

 Members here are good. Its hard to get members out sometimes to help with missionary work but every now and then we get some members out. We plan on trying to work harder with the members. 

Now for my companion Elder Nance, he is good. He is a hard worker. He is from California by San Francisco. He is always looking for things to do. We are keeping busy. 

Talk to you next week.

Love Elder Fisher

Getting hot

Hey everything is going well. Its been really hot here. life is good though. 

Bad news. The Jehovah Witnesses have been teaching Brother Prince sign language so he has decided to quite his investigation with us and go with them instead. 

We have been doing lots more finding. Looking around the church. We have found some former investigators from years back and some new people. Met a guy named Lyndon. He used to work for Caribbean cruises and has been all over the world. We are teaching him this week. Lots of our lessons fell through this week so it just gives us more time to find new people.

That's my week

Hey everything is going great so far. We are visiting lots of people. Marzina turned on us and went on a big rant on how she can't be baptized because she was already baptized. That was really frustrating because we were able to see the spirit work on her so much and she just turned on it. oh well. We are still working with Jacky and Jada towards baptism but they aren't getting any support from their family. Trying to help them with that. But on a more positive note we are working with a investigator named Kim. The missionaries worked with her and her husband before and they were going to be baptized but they weren't legally married to her husband and he left to work in the interior before I got here. Then Kim left to the Essiqubo and was gone for a while but is back now. Her husband is supposed to be coming out in October and they plan on getting married then and being baptized on the 14th! anyways that's my week.

Spirit of God

Hey 

Don't worry about hurricanes here. Some how Guyana doesn't seem to get hit by any natural disasters. Just rains and floods that's all. 

It sounds like your pretty busy back home. We have been too. We are trying to see as many people as possible. Ravindra was confirmed a member of the church on Sunday. We were happy to see him. His Grandma didn't try to take him away this week. We are working really hard with this one lady named Marzina. She is the funniest lady ever. She is great. We have been working hard on trying to get her to understand Priesthood authority. After explaining the restoration on the priesthood again this week she told us she could feel the power and spirit of God was with us and agreed to be baptized on October 14. My only worry for her is transitioning from her current church to the Church of Jesus Christ. The Lord will work miracles in her. 

Anyways that's all I got

Love Elder Fisher
