Big: HELLO!!!!!!
IT
IS SOOOO GOOD TO BE BACK IN ARUBA!!!! WOW. I am so happy. It is happy
and sad though because I found out that I already have one recent
convert who was offended by someone and doesn't want anything to do with
the church, one who's mom wont let him come, and one who has to work on
sundays :( so sad.
BUT!!! Marlien is doing great, and so is Dario!
So
Monchi...! like WOW! They are doing AMAZING! It is so crazy. That
family has COMPLETELY changed since the last time i was here. after
Monchi was baptized, his parents got back together, they are all active
in church and everything is going great. the complete opposite of the
last time I was here. Amazing! The gospel is soooo powerful.
We
are also still teaching this one couple, Roshen and Nilson, who i
taught the last time i was here. They were so happy to see me and I was
SO happy to see them. It has just been a ton of little reunions and i
have been LOVING it! Wow! It feels like I'm "home" right now, it is so
weird! I love this place. We have 5 with a baptismal date!!! Also,
we had TWO very young families at church yesterday! Life is soooo
gooooood!!!!
So, Roshen and Nilson are Arubian
and they just started being taught when I was here 4 months ago. They
are awesome! They came to church for the first time since they started
being taught. That was amazing. they have a baptismal date for the 16th
but there is still a lot we have to teach them so we might have to move
it...but that's okay!
Melissa and David are an
AMAZING sweet young couple who will be baptized on the 16th. They are so
believing and have been to church three times already. they have 3 kids
and they are wonderful. Melissa is Arubian and David is Colombian and
covered in tattoos. Apparently for the past 2 years he has been going
through an emotional crisis but ever since the missionaries started
teaching him he has completely changed. Amazing. for that reason,
Melissa is soooo grateful for us. basically they are amazing. David is
working on quitting smoking and received a BEAUTIFUL blessing yesterday.
It was amazing. wow.
Then we have this really
sweet old man named Jesus Antonio. He is just so sweet and so old.
Precious. Hahaha! He is from Colombia but has lived here for
yearssssssss. The only things with him is that he only has Sundays off
once every seven weeks. And he wants to read the Book of Mormon all the
way through before he asks God anything about the book or joseph smith
or anything! he is a sweetheart though.
We
also were able to have a little thanksgiving here and it was so fun! The
Lindleys hosted and we made the stuffing! It was great.
LIFE IS SO GOOD!!! I am SO happy to be back here in Aruba! I love and miss you all sooooo much! Have a great week!
