This week was AMAZING!
Elder Payne and i have been doing super well, working well together and still trying to find new families to teach and what not.
But this week we were able to contact some old families that missionaries were teaching a loooooong time ago, and we found one that i really liked while being followed by this homeless man that would not stop following us or stop speaking french to us, and then i said something and i think that triggered something in his head, cuz he just stopped and said " TAEKWONDO!!" and started like fighting an imaginary person, and then we ran and hid from him behind a fence and then we met that family!!
And another family we met just yesterday was Joao and Angelina. Joao came to church and Elder Payne got his number and we marked a visit because he wasnt a member but said his son was and he was looking for him, so we meet up at the chapel and he takes us on a walk to his home, and on the whole way there he is Just telling me how much he loved the church today and the teaching and that in his old church they werent allowed to read the bible or do any studying on their own so he didnt know much and thought it was dumb so he left that church. and then he starts talking about how he is getting old and just wants to get married to Angelina because they have been living together for 25 years but never got married!... so it was literally like... hey you wanna help me and my wife and kids get married baptized and join the church? please?
so.. me and elder payne tried to control our emotions of excitement and got to know them and they got to know us!
Well this 69 year old man has helped me see that even though there may not be a perfect membership in the church and not everyone does perfectly in their callings, the spirit will still be there!
Other than that not tooo much happened this week. i couldnt find any sugar cane so i was pretty sad about that.. i love that stuff...
