Breezin' - 2 Baptisms and a trip to the ER :)



So this week was full of adventures!! To start out Monday we went on a hike to a place called Seven Sisters! I sent you some photos last week but it was so funny I slipped in some mud and fell so bad. Then  Elder Alldredge slipped climbing this hill and rolled down the mountain! Good times. 

Seven Sister's Hike
Tuesday we shaved each others heads and then I went to change the light bulb. I squeezed to hard on the case for the light bulb and shattered it in my hand haha. Well there was glass blood and hair all over our apartment. If someone would have walked in they would have thought we had done a sacrifice or something. We went to the hospital at 12 a.m. and the doc said I needed 6 stitches on my thumb I was laughing because I can't go a year with out stitches haha. But they started searching for some stitches in this getto doctors office and they could not find any. So they did plan B and glued it up. 

He just can't stay away from the ER ;) 
Wednesday we ran errands and did a cool service project cutting bush up in the jungle. Elder Alldrege got bit by a snake as he was trying to take a picture of it! Lol!

Thursday we went to visit Wendy and Kelly-Ann to prepare them for Saturday, and Friday we gave a priesthood blessing to a member named Listra. She was sick and worried about it. So we gave her a blessing. The next day she called and said she was perfectly fine and healed. The priesthood is amazing!! 

Saturday was the best day! We had the two baptisms. And they were just amazing! The Spirit was so strong and we were able to have such a good time baptizing in the pristine blue water!! 













Sunday was fun doing the confirmations. We were also able to get an investigator to church named Khalled. Also we were able to get 5 less actives to church!! It was such a miracle. 

Sunday night we went over to a medical students house for dinner. Wow it was amazing food. They made us mash potatoes and gravy, stuffing, and chicken! But I must admit it is so awkward talking to white educated people. I actually am not a fan of it at all. I really do not even want to come home. I just feel to comfortable here and I love the people that are here because they are so much more down to earth and real! 

Oh another cool thing we did this week was we went to the prime ministers office. And set an appointment to go meet with him we had to go through 3 cop check points haha. I can imagine back in the day when the great prophets of old went and taught the mighty chief priests of the land. I can't wait to sit down and share the gospel with this mighty man! 

Today was fun we played ping pong at the church and we also made some dumpling and iguana soup! it was really good!!  





Well the church is true and miracles are happening right before our eyes! I am so grateful for Jesus Christ! I am so grateful for the Atonement and I am so grateful for the Priesthood this week! 
Love you all 

Elder Dixon
