Banana man or 2?

Hey! This week was great! 

We are working hard as always and we even had a baptism. Doodnaght, Sruti and Amar. They are really awesome. Their mom has been a big help and is even starting to come to church with them. 




On Tuesday I went on an exchange up to Parika. It was pretty fun. We tried to find some investigators I use to teach in Vreed En Hoop but moved to Parika's area after I was transferred and was dropped because the Parika Elder's had a hard time getting on to them. The directions we received were as follows. Get onto a bus. Tell the conductor to drop you off at the the taxi service on the public road. Get in a taxi and tell him you want to go to the banana man and its the pink flat concrete house next to the Banana Man. We followed the directions but then the taxi driver took us to the wrong banana man. We spent over an hour looking for this pink house. The elder's said they would find them a different day now we know there are two banana men. 

We are still working with Mohamed. He has had a little bit of a rough life. He was born Muslim and his mom and him were homeless. A Hindu temple gave them shelter there until his mother committed suicide. He was taken into a foster home were they had many Pentocostal missionaries teach the kids the word of God and he decided to become a Christian. At the home however there were a lot of negative influences and by the time he was 18 he went to prison. Since he came out of prison he is trying to live a changed life. He came to church again on Sunday but seems a little confused and overwhelmed by everything. We are trying to get him to get more accustom to the different style of worship that he's not used to.

Its great to hear from you!

Love Elder Fisher
