First off, we didn´t really get hit much by hurricane Mathew, but it did DUMP rain on us on Tuesday and Wednesday. We tried to go out proselyting for a while, but eventually, the streets were basically rivers because the drainage system here
isn´t the greatest, especially when we don´t have paved roads, so we ended up having to retreat back home early for some extra study.
On the bright side! On Saturday, I experienced my first baptism! The service was for two siblings: Ezer and Izari. Their parents are less active members, but their Aunt and Uncle are awesome, and their uncle was the one who actually baptized them! It was a really cool experience and after the ordinance, Izari, the 11 year old girl started to bear her testimony and just broke down and cried. That really touched me. And, I think it touched her parents too, so maybe, just maybe, they´ll start coming back to church!
In other news, Ironelis is a lady who´s been investigating for a while (like 2 years) and we almost have everything ready for her to get married so that she can be baptized! Then, if that wasn´t good enough, the other night, her husband had a dream in which Jesus told him to follow his wife´s example, and join the Mormon church, so now he´s being way more receptive than he ever was before! It´s incredible! Although, we went to teach him last night, and the dude was absolutely drunk. So we´ll be having a word of wisdom lesson real soon ;)
Anyway, this computer´s real slow, and I have to go, but I hope all of you have a great week! I´ll keep McKenzie in my prayers. That was pretty sad to hear about, but I´m so glad she´s alive and responsive! God is a god of miracles, I truly believe that. Love you all!
