One Investigator is a little girl named Vicky. She's 8. Her aunt is a member and we teach her and her brother Karaiti. Super sad story, one of her older sisters is a member of a different church, and she told Vicky that if she got baptized she was sinning. But, she decided that she was going to pray about it, and she decided that she wanted to be baptized. She also said that she wants to help her older sister too. Great little kid.
The work is going great, but well digging is terrible. I'm exhausted. We dug a well this week, it was so deep and it was tiring. We had it to the point we filled buckets at the bottom and lifted them out. So. Much. Work.
Bad news - our house was awful and we left after two days. We're back in the Tabwakea house. The house was inside a compound, and the other compound inhabitants were pretty heavy drinkers. So we got out ASAP.
Transfers are December 17th. We have no idea still where we are going and it's killing us. Sion is going to email the AP and president is coming in on December 3rd, so hopefully he'll fill us in then. We're hoping to leave together. We'll see though.
New senior couple is great! Elder and Sister Seamons. He worked for CES and he's a gospel prodigy. He is giving district meeting on Thursday and I'm stoked.
(We asked about Thanksgiving plans) I think we'll probably get to eat turtle, which is close to turkey when you say it out loud. Yeah. Just Kidding, we don't eat turtle ;)
(Elder Smith from Dallin's district is in a new video about bullying. Dallin told the girls to watch it and to quit being bullies - of course just giving them a hard time.) An elder in my district is in a Mormon message about bullying! He's the main guy hahahaha we just watched it, it's funny. It's a pretty new Mormon message about bullying and it's like 10 minutes long you guys should watch it.
That's all for this week! Have a great week and talk to you soon! Love you all!

I've never been brave enough to try turtle even though it was offered to me a few times growing up. My Caymanian family love it, though, and it is considered a real delicacy. Hopefully, Dallin will find it tasty as well. What great work they are doing! Sorry he has to dig wells :-( Sounds like Elder and Sister Seamons will be very inspiring. Fun that he gets to be with a MM celebrity!
ReplyDeleteHe's got such a great attitude...I don't know that I'd say GET to eat turtle, I'm more likely to say HAVE to eat turtle. Can't wait to hear about that feast!
