This
week something really awesome happened! Our investigator Patrick had been
struggling not really knowing if he wanted to be baptized because of all his
problems financially and everything. He kept getting down and down and was
losing hope but for fast Sunday I fasted very specifically for him to feel in
his heart that he needed to be baptized. When we saw him last night, he started
to tell us how he felt in his heart that he needed to be baptized!!! It was
really such a great experience for me because I KNOW THAT FASTING AND PRAYER
WORK! He had felt exactly what I prayed and fasted for! So we have Patrick on
date to be baptized on the 18th of this month! I am really looking forward to
that because Patrick is very lonely and has a lot of financial problems but the
gospel will help him to deal with those problems!
The
Branch is still going pretty slow! This Sunday we had probably 20 tourists at
church and maybe 10 locals... So we are also really trying to work with the
branch to get church attendance moving forward! Other than that the work is
rolling forward! I am doing great! Have a great week!!

A
pretty normal great week we had! We did a lot of contacting! Talked to a lot of Haitians and also able to find some new people to teach that speak English so
that is a great blessing!! Our investigator Patrick who is going to be baptized
this Sunday came to church and he is so awesome! He was participating and
everything! Also with all the commandments we have been teaching him he
sometimes doesn't understand why but he has the faith to follow them! He is
great! At church we also had 3 Priesthood Ordinations! That was so good! 2 of
the 3 being recent converts and it was really a good time being able to help
the people know how to ordain someone to the priesthood! It's really enjoyable
to watch someone learn and practice the gospel! Other than that Elder Shepherd
and I are doing really good! Just moving forward and really trying to help the
branch be more self reliant!
