Well this week was
pretty tough!! Because of holidays and everything else going on a lot of people
were either gone or busy so we weren’t able to teach a whole lot this past
week! But we did get to do a lot of contacting trying to talk to more Haitians
and pretty much anyone and everyone we see! I will say it is hard to go and
talk to people all day long and not have a single lesson sometimes but I felt
like I was able to learn a lot from this week! A lot of our investigators have
been gone and too busy to meet. But we have found some new ones that have a lot
of potential! It is pretty interesting having lessons with Haitians when we
meet them on the streets and we don’t have a translator because we basically
have them open the pamphlets and we point at different paragraphs for them to
read! So definitely a learning experience trying to find new ways we can help
people understand better! But a lot of it comes down to how well we can explain
the gospel simply! Using very very simple language!
All is going well
though! I am super excited to start this New Year off right! Going out and trying
to find and teach as many people as we can so we can provide more blessings for
these people! The Gospel does provide happiness as we live and follow our
Heavenly Fathers Plan for us! I do know that! And a happy New Year to everyone!

We had a lot more success in being able to meet with our
investigators and finding more people to teach! We’ve been teaching this guy
named Patrick that has really good desires to find the right church and so he
has been coming to church the past few weeks and is really liking what he is
hearing! He reads from the Book of Mormon and also prays so he is well on his
way to being baptized once he knows for sure, which will soon come! So we are
super excited about that!
Our recent convert Joseph is doing so good! He comes to church
every week and has such a strong testimony! Yesterday we needed a member to
translate for one of our investigators and we couldn’t get a hold of our normal
translator brother Willy so we stop by Josephs and he was in the middle of
eating dinner... He puts everything down, gets dressed and comes out with us!
He gets in the car and relates himself to Nephi having to leave everything
behind and go into the wilderness with his Family! Joseph is so great and he
has really inspired me to become better and do whatever the Lord commands! So
we had a great week and we are meeting a lot of great people! So excited to see
what this next week brings!
