SOOO this week was the first week that I have like been in an official companionship. its just me and elder jean BUT elder Campbell and elder Jones are still living with us and we all do comp study together. so its been a real different expierience when you have no idea how to work and then there is no one there to tell you either. its like walking around like a chicken does with his head cut off and then preaching the gospel while all of this is happening. im sure it doesnt actually look like that but it sure feels like it.
so because we have split our area just like our companionship we have litterally no one to teach once again.... Like i said last week the Dure family is looking pretty bleak and could use all the help in the world. this is pretty much due to the fact that they dont speak english very well and so they cant get a job easy. and they are all living together so their kids are all there together but during the day they are all out and so they have trouble for finding people to watch their kids. its really complicated and there is nothing the church can do for them so we are just checking up on them for now until everything gets less crazy.
we did however have a baptism this week!!! Jamarie finished being taught by elder Jones and Campbell and was baptized yesterday. it was a great expirience and he was baptized with another kid in the primary named tyson who the zls taught. Elder jones baptized him and will be confirmed by his neighbor kyle next week. it was a great day and probably wont happen for at least another 3 weeks for us cause we are pretty much starting over.
we did find one new girl named ruth who has lived in the states for about 4 or 5 months now i think. we went over to her place to teach and her cousin showed some real good honest intrest so we are going to visit them next week and see if they read and we will commit them to baptism. ruths husband was there and asked why we have to go to chruch cause we can pray in our homes and then ruths cousin raphiel started preaching to him. real funny that we didnt have to answer the question and that it resolved itself but yeah good expireience.
the other person we found is named smitty. he is shirlie dure's friend that she braught last week and he seems real interested and we will do the same thing for him this week. thats pretty much it for the people we are teaching. we walked soooo much this past week cause we are trying to find people to teach which requires some walking.
i got 5 min left so ill just end with saying that president nelson changed the music policy so now we can listen to anything that has soft lyrics and invites the spirit with no romantic lyrics. i have yet to figure out what this means but send me some instrumental music and ill love you forever....
anyway thats all for this week see ya!!!!
