Well this week was alright!! A cool thing that happened is the Martinque Elders from the french side came for trade-off! That was fun because I got to spend almost two days learning from them and doing something different. There was some actually really cool experiences with them. One night it was late we had worked our bums off all day! So we were working so hard and lesson after lesson kept falling through. So finally we prayed we would find some one that needs to hear the gospel.. And sure enough the lord heard and answered our prayers.
We called into this guys house and he jumped off the couch and walked to the door. He was like I have been waiting for you.. (I was in shock) He said I found a Book of Mormon by my work and I have read quite a bit. I really want to know what you believe... He then told us all about the gold plates how the book was written around 600 BC to 400 AD (by the way nobody in these islands usually know what BC and AD stand for.) and then he goes on to tell us all about Nephi. He said he was so interested that he took another Book of Mormon from his friend and takes it to work so he can read at work and at home! It was amazing! But it was so late that he said we need to come back a different day. Bummer.. But we are excited to see him again..
A few other things that were funny was that men at church are crazy. The talks were like a 20 minute story time that didn't make sense and then in the middle of the story he says thank you and sits down. lol.
Well our investigators Mark and Merissa are doing good though. They have started planning the wedding so that they can get married then baptized!
Well love ya
Elder Dixon
