Week 61 - Curacao

Hello!
THIS WEEK WAS CRAZY! Full of surprises! Wow! But first to start off i just want to start off my saying.....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK TO ALLEN AND JACK!!!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BRITTNEY AND ALLEN
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOMMY AND DADDY
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MOM, BRITTNEY, KIM, ALY, DEB, PAULA, AND ALL OF THE OTHER WONDERFUL MOTHERS OUT THERE!!
Wow! Lots of announcements!

Wellllll so this week started off normal. We had exchanges on tuesday and wednesday and that went well! The next day was supposed to be our zone conference but our mission president couldn't get here on time due to flights so we had to move it to friday! The Bonaire sisters were stuck here until friday night!  On Thursday. a member of the 70, Elder Gonzalez was supposed to come to our zone conference (which we didn't end up doing that day), so instead of that he just had a little meeting with just us on Thursday morning for two hours...WITHOUT our mission President! He wanted to see what we were doing as a mission to minister. We told him, and he was AMAZED. It was a wonderful experience and the poor man didn't even know what to tell us to improve on! He was truly blown away by what we were doing here in the mission! President Egbert is so inspired! He did leave a commitment to double our baptisms... but that is already our goal.. +1.
This mission is so amazing and I am just so grateful we are all just so obedient and open to revelation! That meeting went perfectly well. It was great. And president Egbert told us the next day that he wasn't worried at all because he completely trusted us. It was an overall wonderful experience.

I love my mission soooo much! Zone conference was great and we all learned a lot! That was our second to last zone conference with President and Sister Egbert! We are so sad to see them go but we are also very excited to welcome the Bairds with open arms! They are coming very soon! Hoping to be in Curacao for that (the mission headquarters has jusr moved to Curacao from Trinidad)! 

Kim's boys got baptized on Saturday and it was wonderful! It went very smoothly and Kim was able to be there with her non member sister. 
We taught Etson again this week, who is progressing like crazy!!!!  Seriously this man is unbelievable. We finally taught him with his girlfriend who has never studied with us before. She would say things that didn't really line up with our beliefs and Etson would try to help her understand, and it was just so funny. For example, his girlfriend was talking about how there are so many churches and he very energetically explained that it was because of the apostasy!!!  So amazing. We love Etson hahahahahaha! He was telling us to be patient with her because she doesn't have the knowledge of the gospel yet and all of this stuff. It was a great lesson and we have high hopes for them! 

Crazy week, but that is all i can remember! I hope you are all doing well! I love and miss you all!!!!! big hugs!

-Sister Woodbury
