He sounded great today! It's crazy that we only have 5 months left until he will be home!
Wow this has snuck up on me really fast. But it is great. We had a really good week this week in the fact that we had the Baptisms of both Adiol and K-zia Shepard. And i was able to do the ordinance for both of them. We did K-Zia's on Wednesday and boy was that an adventure! i was in the water for 30minutes because she was afraid to go under and that water was so cold! Then on saturday was her older sisters turn and she went a lot faster which was good and i am happy to see the step they have taken!
This week also has been funny to see how we were able to make it by washing clothes down the road by a members house because another missionary came over and plugged the washing machine into the 240 Volts and blew that motor to haha! wow missionary life for us! That is just what happens over the river haha!
The other thing for the week was that i had Flat Mallori with me to take around and play to see life in Guyana and i had a fun time taking her out with me! We sure went on an adventure.She has been in La Grange Guyana for the last week or so and she spent time with me. We did a lot of missionary work and tons of walking i think her shoes are worn like mine! but she also got to spend time playing with the other kids here! She also witnessed the baptism of a 9 year old girl and then took cover from the pouring rain.! She met a Friend named Serena Beharry and traveled through the country and down dirt roads, Crossing many bridges and trenches( some clean and some dirty). then she saw the goats in our back yard! all that work tired her out so she had to take a break and rest in the hammock. and boy you should see the size of the insects she had to deal with here! some of them even bigger than the turtles she saw. She also met the shepards and played some hop scotch with them and met their turtle. She even became true guyanese and fell into a trench luckily this one was full of grass so she stayed dry! and the last stop for her was taking a boat over the river to get to georgetown because the bridge takes to long! that was a full adventure and i had a lot of fun with her!
The last thing i want to talk about today is a couple of weeks back i talked about cleaning a ladies garden spot and left it at that but i should tell you the result! So we Got it all cleaned and then the next time she went back she saw it. But when she asked if it was us we said no, but then she was worried that someone took the ground from her and some of the missionaries accidentally took out some of her plants and she was sad! i felt so bad and we eventually told her it was us and appologized for the plants and ask if we could repay her and her face just lit up and she was so happy we did that for her she didnt even care about the plants anymore she just thanked us so much and we did so much for her and she said she loved us forever for that! it made me so happy the feeling i got for doing it i have a huge testimony of service now i love it!!
I hope that you have a great week as well. I cant wait for next week! I love you!
Love
