Things keep on movin'
along here in Goa. We had one day where we got to work with Aldrin this week,
which was way fun. He is a super funny guy to talk to. We ended up getting
caught in the rain and I didn't have an umbrella... Elder McBride accidentally
threw mine away the other day. Needless to say, we got very wet and found a
nice man who let us come sit under his roof. We plan to go back and teach him
this week. I also have a new umbrella now. Good stuff.
Our one
progressing investigator continues to progress very well. The sad thing is that
we only got to teach her once this week. She comes to church every week, but it
is really hard to be able to teach her because we need a member present.
Hopefully we can get that figured out. Everything seems like it is about to
slow down a little bit too because school starts this week and next...
Hopefully we can squeeze the last little bit of work out of the members before
that gets them too busy. It is really nice to work with the members even though
their bikol always makes me nosebleed (what they call it when you don't
understand someone else's language). The members here seem like they are really
nice.
We've also been doing
a lot of finding lately... We
had some people offer to teach us how to play mahjong, so we might take them up
on it and see if they will let us teach them about the Gospel too. Most people
are just really set in their Catholic ways here. It is hard to break tradition
for sure. I hope that some of them will at least allow us to talk to them and
share a few short messages sometime soon.
I hope that we can
find those people that the Lord is preparing for us. Don't worry about me
though. We are really doing well here.
I don't really have
much else to talk about this week, but I hope you guys all have a good week. I
miss you tons.
Love you!
