Well this week has lots of crazy spiritual experiences. To start we have Sister Francine. She's the one who wanted to move so she could live the law of chastity and live in a safer area. We got a phone call from her one morning and she was in tears. The man who she was living with and her got in an argument and he started to beat her. Fortunately he is no longer living with her anymore. The problem is that she doesn't have a job and he was her only source of income so she doesn't have any money to buy food. Luckly we have some really great relief society sisters here to help her and her baptism is for this Saturday.
Mohamed is doing really well. He had a really hard time understanding the fall of Adam and Eve. We explained very clearly that it was part of God's plan and he was getting it but not quite accepting it. We left him to read over 2 Nephi 2 and to pray about it. When we came back he said he just felt good when he did that and believes it is true. His foster mom in Barbadoes doesn't want him to move there with her so we know he will probably stay in Guyana. He is still looking for a place to rent.
We talked to Brother Juman on Sunday and he said he got some frames for some glasses and a doctors appointment for bro Chu's eye's for free and is even willing to drive him there. Brother Juman is a very generous member.
Next on crazy things that happened. Last week we got a referral from a Vreed En Hoop member at church. It was for a former investigator named Fiama. I contacted her my very last week in Vreed En Hoop but never got to teach her. We were walking to a recent convert when she called out to us and said she has friends in Venezuela who are Mormons and one of them even served a mission. I got transferred and the missionaries literally taught her everything. She was very close to being baptized but then moved back to Venezuela. Well there she said her Mormon friends kept visiting her and encouraging her but she never got baptized. Since she came back to Guyana she has kinda back slid and isn't to sure what she wants anymore but is willing to give the message a try again. She moved from her old home in Vreed En Hoop and to a home that is less than a 5 minute bike ride from where we live. The member who gave us the referral was her felllowshipper who stayed in touch with her. Fellowshippers are awesome. Feel free to help the missionaries at home teach.
On Sunday an older Indian lady walked into church. She said She used to go to a baptist church a year ago but stopped going because the Pastor was very rude and has been looking for a new church since. She said she was riding a bus when she met a kind lady who told her this was a nice church with really pure teachings so she decided to check it out and loved every part of it. We have a lesson scheduled with her on Thursday. The Lord is directing people to our path!
