So to help answer the questions.. the family at the airport we haven't been back to seen because that family lives in on some private island by Barbados. There are two main families we are teaching right now. -- One is the mom and the little girls that came to church in that picture. They are progressing well and there baptism date is hopefully for October 15. That is the family we found after we had fasted for families and found them late at night.. it was the last house before we came in. And really the house before that was a crazy pastor that fought with us. So we wanted to go in but we decided to check one more house. And that was them. Her name is Danielle and she has four kids. She used to be taught by Elder Merrell one of my old comps. So that is cool.
The second family that is super cool is. Wendy, and her daughter Kelly-ann and Princess (she is 9). And Kelly-ann is 21 And she has her own kid too that is about 1 year old. We found them by a members house. They came to church this last week and are super excited about baptism. But we felt they were not quite ready yet. So we moved there baptism back to October 8. They were the ones that was supposed to be baptized this week. But they are coming along good.
This week went good. We had zone conference and president flew in. I was super pumped about it because me and my comp planned a great zone culture. The zone culture is that here in Grenada we STAY WET! it was great and we had planned well. When we were at the zone conference we both had 20 minutes to teach. Elder King went first and went for one hour. By the time he finished we were way over time. So I was kinda bummed I didn't even get to teach anything I had planned for for the last 6 weeks.
But all in all President taught us some great stuff. I felt the spirit really strong at the meeting. We had it at the Radison Hotel so that was super cool. The next morning President interviewed all of us missionaries. He interviewed me last. And it was a very spiritual experience. He taught me some great things. And at the end he asked me to say the closing prayer. I went about on a normal prayer. And then I said bless my family... and then it hit me. Gosh guys why you do that to me? I was balling like a baby. The spirit was so strong. I love you guys so much!
Well other than that this week I caught an Iguana at the church and have it as a pet in my apartment.
And we have been teaching some cool people. Also I went on trade off up in Gouyave That was a great day of experiencing the other part of the island. The people were really nice and we found some cool ones.
So funny story..
We taught this one lady and she was not very nice to us. After getting inside and starting with a prayer she told us up front I don't think I can meet with you. We asked why and she said that in the scriptures it says she can't. We were like what... she then quoted the scripture "You cannot serve God and Mormon." I about died laughing but I held it in. I was like where did you hear that. She said her pastor teaches it from the bible. We then turned to Mathew 6:24 and read the real scripture "You cannot serve God and Mammon." It then clicked her pastor was lying to her. And she loved the lesson we taught. We are excited to see if she will turn out good.
this is a picture of Brother cox a faithful member who always comes teaching with us.
And next is zone conference and our zone!
