Week 44 - Aruba

Hello!!

I dont have too much to add since I just emailed on Wednesday but it was still a super good week!! A couple of updates on those we are teaching:  Juandavid is doing amazing and is so excited for his baptism!! We went to their house on Saturday night and they put together a sweet little FHE style dinner for us to say thank you to us. they are soooo sweet. David is weird... He really wants to finish his tattoo sleave and even though we told him straight up that he shouldnt he is working on it. It is almost completely tattooed.  He also didn't come to church the past two weeks because he hasnt been feeling well either time.. I dunno. Pray for him. Everyone else is doing AMAZING though! like WOW! 

Also, this week we contacted someone named David from Venezuela (but we teach them in English) and we had a lesson with him and his wife! They are SO amazing! We had a beautiful lesson with them and they just have sooo much potential! David has a huge beard and it reminds me a bit of my brothers. Their English is so good. Crazy. They are amazing.

We also contacted a guy named Calo on saturday who came to church on sunday! unfortunately since we had never taught him before and everyone talked about President Monson and then the gospel principles class was about temples.  A lot of new things for him. They even mentioned the degrees of glory in the celestial kingdom in class. It was so awkward. I felt so bad! he was in good spirits though and is really cool!

Christina was able to make it to church this week as well! She is doing well, but is really used to having dreams as answers. It is really interesting. She knows Joseph Smith was a prophet but doesn't know about the BOM yet... She always tells us her dreams and I feel like she wants us to pull a Joseph and interpret her dreams for her! Its kinda fun!

As for Leasbeth....Ugh her life is so hard and we had no idea. She just ran away from home with all her kids and is living in a dump now because her father is really scary and abusive. we had no idea. she is going through a lot right now, and so is her mom Elbe. Please keep them in your prayers.
 
That is all I have from this week but I love and miss you all and I hope you have a great week!
