Head to Toe in seconds

Hey 

This week has been good and full of rain. Rainy season is fun because you never know when its going to hit you and how long its going to rain. It comes soaks you head to toe in seconds and then it goes. The sunset leaving our house is pretty nice during the rainy season.

We had zone conference. It was our last one with President Egbert. We learned about the temple and it was sick! I took a picture with me and President and Sister Egbert, and Sister Vanita my investigator who I taught all the lessons to who got baptized on Saturday. Richard her fiancee baptized her.

We are working with a man named Christopher and his wife Nicola. We had two lesson fall through with him this week but then he stopped us on the road the night after another appointment and rescheduled. He apologized and explained how his work has been unpredictable. He works Taxi. When we went to the next appointment his brother in law was there and it was a sweet lesson. It was a "God is our Loving Heavenly Father" lesson and an inspired comment we got from Christopher was "He would do the things I would do for my daughter" Carl (brother in law) said " He has the power to do anything to save us". 

We also contacted a lady named Radha and her two sons. She used to be taught a lot by missionaries 10 years ago on the east coast but said she quickly had to move and wasn't able to tell them so they lost contact with them. She seems really cool and we are excited to work with her and her family! 

Anyways you have a great week!

8 baptisms in June

Hey!

 So uh I guess  I have an answer for all of those people who are asking about me. I just opened a email from my mission saying I will be returning home on September 20th. I'm trying not to get trunky right now. Oh and I had a burger from Johnny Rockets last Tuesday and I think it was one of the best burgers I have ever had. I missed being so close to Georgetown. 

Well its really good to be in Patentia and the La Grange branch again and see so many familiar faces. This area we are in has a lot of prepared people here. My first week here we have given out 5 baptismal dates. There is a lot of good work being done here and this is the best functioning branch I have been in. 

My companion is Elder Garner. He's from West Jordan Utah. I took his place in New Amsterdam and now I am serving with him here. We are working with a lot of great investigators. We have Brother Chew. He had a stroke a few months ago but he is getting around on a cane. His Baptism date is set for the 23rd  of June and he has been coming to church each week!. He Lives out in Sister's village. We have Priya who is trying to divorce her old husband and marry her new one. She can't afford it right now but we are working with her to be baptized on June 23. She is coming to church regularly. We have Francene who has been investigating and coming to church for a long time. She is a very kind women but she is trying to kick her common law husband out. (He's not very goods to her). She is very good hearted and we and the Senior couple are working a lot with her. We are hoping she will be baptized on June 9th. We also have the Jairam boys Shruti, Doodnught, and Vanu. There Mom is a returning member and she came up to the missionaries a couple weeks ago and said her boys need to be baptized. They have been coming to church since then. Mom's struggling to come a little but the boys are doing great! There baptism is for June 9.We also have Rushana and her Mom Ann maria. They contacted them and started teaching them just before I got here. They have been reading and even came to church! there baptism date is also for June 3. Those are just a few of the people we are working with right now. It should be a good transfer!

Leaving New Amsterdam

This week has been good. I am a little sad to be leaving New Amsterdam but excited to go to Patentia. Back to La Grange Branch! I got my last Sister June's bake and local juice and am almost packed up! I got my last good byes with pretty much every one. 
We have been working really hard with Vanita and Joshua. They are going to be baptized this coming Saturday and so I am just missing it. I have taught them pretty much all of the lessons. Vanita got engaged to Richard Bacchus who was a less active member. His family is very active however. She was Hindu but has been gaining a testimony of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ ever since she has heard it and her and Richard haven't missed a week of church since they have been taking the lessons. Richard has been blessing the sacrament each week and just received a calling to be the assistant Branch clerk. That will be very helpful for the Branch. They are getting married in November and really want to prepare to go to the temple next year. They said they would send me a wedding invitation. 
Joshua is 11 years old. His family are all members of the church but they have been waiting on his baptism so that his Dad can perform the baptism. The problem is he's not worthy and has showed no sign of changing and coming back to church so his mom got impatient and so we have been preparing Joshua for this big day. He's a really good kid who is excited to be baptized. 
It was really good to see all of you yesterday and I am excited for the next time I see you!

My good byes to George the monkey.

Hey

This week was good. 

We are working a lot with recent converts and less active members right now. More than I have ever before on my mission but I strongly feel that is what this area needs. We are starting to get a lot more busier now as we are increasing our teaching pool quite a bit. Its really fun and we should be having some more baptisms next transfer. We get our transfer calls on Wednesday. 

Just an update on Prakesh my investigator in Canje, He was supposed to be baptized last Saturday but then his Dad got angry and said he was too young to be baptized and needs to wait until he is at least 15 or 16 years old.

Me holding George the monkey! He likes to bite my finger and lick my hands.

I love you all
