baptism on my very last week

Note from the editor:
This is an update from the last post. I found this note in a different email and so i am using the same pictures that i put in the previous post. I am also adding some new pictures at the end that i got of Elder Fisher and the outgoing missionaries after he arrived in the mission home Tuesday in Curacao.

Wow what a great week. We have been working hard trying to finish strong. We had a baptism on Saturday for Annie Angelina Washington. I also was blessed for the wonderful opportunity to perform her baptism on my very last weekend. She has been taught for quite a while but was never able to be baptized do to some family problems but we were able to push through all of those and get all of her lessons taught. She's also from Venezuela. We were teaching the whole family but then the family split up and she was the only one we were able to continue teaching. Her mom and sister just moved from the  Hindu home they were living in and so now the missionaries will be able to begin teaching them again! 

Hey just make sure to have all of the marvel movies ready for me to watch when I get home and I'd also like to go to the temple as soon as possible. I love you all and I am really excited to see all of you!

Flying out tomorrow

I fly to Curacao tomorrow. I don't get there tell later in the day and then i will spend all day Wednesday there before I leave early Thursday. I cant wait to see all of you on Thursday. Its going to be crazy here next couple of days. 

We had two rats in our apartment living in our stove when I got here but me and Elder Garner were able to chase them out pin them with a broom well the other smashed them with a cricket bat so no more rat problem!

Latest Baptism

2 John 1:12

This week is really great. Yesterday really topped it off. 

Last Sunday we met 2 really young families while contacting and we began teaching them yesterday. Brother Mingo from New Amsterdam moved here about 2 weeks ago and he agreed to come teaching with us after church. He came by with us and we had some really great lessons. The families really loved us and promised to even come to church next week and to cook pumpkin and roti! My favourite. 

Today while waiting for a working computer the other missionaries got a pocket dial from Sultan, my recent convert from Vreed En Hoop. He did't mean to call us but he was in the area so he brought us lunch! He told me to call him before I go and that he would take me out for lunch. He's pretty awesome. We are working hard. I love you all and look forward to seeing you soon!

Me and my companion

Me and my companion!

Well this week has been busy. It was the week of zone conference and so we were in Georgetown a lot. We had our interviews there on Monday. Tuesday I was on an exchange with Elder Raymond, Wednesday was zone conference. I gave my 10 minute presentation and also arranged a musical number. I have no idea why I was assigned that musical number but I did my best. The other zone leader in Linden was assigned to assign someone to it and he thought I would do a good job. I thought how hard could it be. Lets just say it will be one to remember. 

All of the departing missionaries including myself also got to give our departing testimony. That was fun. It was a good conference. After all the zone leaders stayed in town until 6 where we went to the Marriot hotel and had dinner and a zone leader meeting. I think that's the most culture shocked I've been since I very first got here. It is a seriously nice place, worthy for a mission president to stay. 

On Saturday there was a really awesome broadcast from the Dominican Republic. President Nelson was there. It was inspiring. Elder Renlund focused a lot on the importance of the doctrine of Christ. President Nelson talked a lot about family and the importance of the temple. Speaking of the temple tell Brittany congratulations. She's been in my prayers the last few days. 
Junior and Queenie are doing well but Junior feels like the 15th is still to soon to be baptized and is still praying about it. They know its true and have repeatedly told us that. We will probably have to change their baptism date but that's okay I'll get pictures! They are also helping us teach their friend who has visions every night. She's a little unsure of the church right now but is giving it a try. Her name is Regina. 
Well that's all I got for you this week!
