Dear family,
This week we did a lot of
contacting....and contacting...and contacting....
Aside from a few established
investigators, we don't really have a pool of investigators. Someone counts as
a new investigator if they let us teach short lesson (doctrine and a prayer)
and then let us set a return appointment. But most of the people we are finding
don't stay in our teaching pool for very long.
The search continues!
Our investigator who wants to
get baptized still wants to get baptized, but we're postponing his date a
little so that he can be truly ready.
Thursday at lunchtime....we
cooked...no bake cookies. Then while they were cooling we ate sandwiches. At
least I know how to cook dessert even without an oven :).
Friday Hna O and I got twin
blisters playing with machetes :). We went to find an investigator that the
sisters here had been teaching a couple months ago. After sharing a short
lesson, we offered to help around the house. At first our help was rejected,
but we convinced the mom that we were sincerely willing to help chapear (cut
the grass and weeds in the yard area by hacking at the ground with a machete).
She is essentially a single mom with children too small for the job, so she was
really tired.
Saturday I got to go back to
P for the baptism for two sisters I had been teaching while I was there. And it
was wonderful. The elders also had two baptisms, and a child of record was
baptized. It was quite the event!
Sunday we had church in the
afternoon. Today is independence day here. So today and yesterday there were
lots of parades. Marching in the parades is required for the school children,
so the branch president got permission to change the church schedule so that
people would actually come. :)
Today we went to the center,
and saw some of today's parades. It was a nice chance to be part of what's
going on here. I was glad that independence day fell on a p-day this year.
I hope you have wonderful
week!
I love you lots.
Sister Davis
