Hellooo!!!
So sorry about last week, I accidentally deleted the email instead of sending it! :( But here we goooo!!
Soooo last week was pretty hard to be honest... Week 47
The bad first:
-
A less active i was teaching in Curacao, Carlos, passed away due to a
TERRIBLE case of depression. He can finally start his whole process now
without having to deal with depression. Worst case i have ever seen.
Prayers for his family, but i honestly felt peace in my heart for him
when i heard. so sad. He's free now.
-We were supposed to have
a baptism last saturday, buuuuuut the family never came. Everyone else
did! It was terrible. It was just because David, the dad who was going
to baptize Juandavid, felt weird. That is it. He felt weird, and just
said "i don't know" whenever we asked what he meant. buuuut now
Juandavid (his son) just wants to be baptized sooooo badly and David
says he feels ready now...so we will see.. Maybe soon? I never want to
relive that Saturday night. Ugh.
Now the super good!!

TAUGHT RELIEF SOCIETY LAST WEEK!!!! My cute little recent convert was
up there teaching everyone and she did an AMAZING job!!! She said this
is the only church that she has ever felt a real change in her life.
Soooo awesome. Everyone ran up to her afterwards to tell her that she
did a great job (the people here never do that...) I was so happy. she
is doing so awesome!
-Eduardo is doing sooo great!!! We taught
the Book of Mormon last week and when we got done teaching it he said,
"Oh! This answers my question then! I was wrong, God DID send people to
the Americas too!" He told is that he has prayed about Joseph Smith and
the Book of Mormon and he knows its all true. He is already being a
sweet little missionary to his neighbors and family members! He is
trying so hard to share the gospel! He is so awesome.
-For
those who don't know, we have a new prophet! Wow, what an experience.
The spirit that i could feel when i watched that announcement was just
soooo strong. That was on of the most spiritual experiences of my life. I
love this gospel and I know that just like He always did in the past,
Jesus Christ still calls righteous people to be our prophets in these
perilous times. So grateful. If you haven't seen the announcement video,
watch it!!! its amazing. wow: https://www.lds.org/church/
Week 48
We
actually had a pretty uneventful week last week, which was pretty nice
after last week. We just went on exchanges with Sister Hardy (she is the
new STL) and that was so fun! This week was kinda crazy and I actually
have two fun stories for yall:
-okay sooo there is an area in
Aruba that is superrrrr sketch called Bushiri. It is government housing
and the young teenage boys over there wear "bushiri boys" t-shirts. It
is sooo scary. We hate being over there. Well, we didn't realize how
sketchy it was, so we went there on Friday night in search of an
investigator that we lost contact with. So, we locked up our bikes and
walked to his house. Mind you, this place is just a huge lot with like 3
rows of really tall big run down yellow buildings. our investigator,
Calo, lives at the top on one of them. When we started talking to him we
could see our bikes from where we were, but they were on row one and we
were on row three. Well, during our short FIVE minute talk with him, we
saw someone trying to steal our bikes!!!!!!!! we BOOKED it!! We ran
down the stairs and RANNN over there. When we got there the teenager had
left but sister Davidson's bike lock was completely cut in half. If
they cut mine they would have gotten two bikes but they only cut hers so
that was lucky. Ugh. It was terrible. Crazy Bushiri.
Thennn
on Saturday we went and checked up on the Moore family, and they were
cutting into a Venezuelan man's armpit trying to get out a really big
cyst. Literally they were using a razor blade and everything. Sister
Moore had been to some of nursing school and Bro Moore had worked in the
ER and is in medical school right now so they knew what they were
doing... but wow! It was so crazy. I felt so bad for the man because
all they had were some pain killers, no numbing or anything! I got to
help and Brother Moore was showing me the fatty tissue. Their baby was
just sitting over on the side and Sister Davidson was feeding it. It was
a WEIRD 30 minutes of service, that is all i have to say! XD I love
the Moores!!!
Well, all of our
investigators are doing pretty well. Daniel, Javier, and Nerwins are
doing great! Daniel and Nerwins always read every BOM assignment we give
them! they are spiritually doing great and they all have pretty solid
jobs now too. They still haven't been able to come to church though.
they are three of the coolest Venezuelans ever. Seriously!
Oh!
THE WINDDDD!!! This week the wind has been SOOO STRONG!!!!!! It makes
biking sooo hard and showering extra cold. You can bike as hard as you
can but move like 2 miles an hour. It has been sooo hard. Craziness.
Well that is all i have for you this week! The church is true people! It is! I love and miss you all! Have a great week!!!
-Sister Woodbury
