Well this week has been good and man have I eaten a lot of mangos! Every time we go to sister Carol's house she gives us a big bag of mango's and we are having a hard time keeping up. I've eaten at least 3 each day this week. She is really awesome but we found out she is not married to the man she is living with and doesn't want to be married to him because in her words He's a drunk and has made her life miserable. She said she plans on leaving him and moving to New York with her son by the end of the year.
We taught Mohamed about the law of chastity and he didn't get the point of it. We tried our best explaining it and how God wants to protect families and he replied "Well I don't want a family!" and how he has gotten by without a family. We had Kellon with us who is a YSA age member preparing for a mission. We challenged him to study the law of chastity and pray about it. After we left Kellon stayed and studied with him. The next day when we showed to teach him Kellon was there. He had taken the day off of work so he could be with Mohamed and before we even started the lesson Mohamed told us he now understands the law of chastity and is willing to obey it. He was even pretty happy about it. We gave him a bunch of Liahona magazines we had after the lesson and he read the autobiography about president Nelson. He then called us and told us how overwhelmed he felt by the spirit and he hasn't been able to stop reading! He is really awesome and is doing well. The work is going well and we are looking forward to Mohamed and Brother Chu's baptisms on the 21!
Oh I also forgot to mention we contacted a really sweet family. Its the Fortune family. It was the first house we contacted on the street. Wayne the father has 9 children but most of them don't live with him. He use to be a rasta man but cut his dreads so the police would trouble him less. Him and his wife Sita are not very educated but are looking for a good christian church to go to where they will feel comfortable. They say they sometimes feel bad when they go to church and people ask them to read because they don't know how to read so we assured them they don't have to read at church and that they will feel comfortable. We hope to see them this coming Sunday!
Francine's baptism!
Brother Jacobs is the man who did the baptism
Love Elder Fisher
