Day 27 monday
pday was sick! we started it out by burning a cockroach with bug spray and a lighter. that should be in my letter from last week. emails were way good too! the handbook says that most missionaries get distracted but i find that it doesnt do that to me! it gives me a new focus and makes my worries about home go away! i havent played basketball yet. i just found the hoops today and i need to buy a ball. not sure if its worth it yet. i might just play frisbee when i get a shot but we will see
day 28 tuesday
we did service for the first time since ive been here. all that work that i did for grandpa really paid off. it wasnt as hard of work but still really hard haha. i was sweating so much with the humidity. it rained really hard after tho! hardest storm ive seen yet! we took cover under the church and talked to people who had done the same thing. then we rode 5 miles to San San in a taxi to teach someone. he is so elect! the only thing that he really needs to do is get to church!
day 29 wednesday
we had zone meeting in ocho rios today. ochi is way nice! its a big tourist spot so there were people everywhere! which i liked haha. the meeting was way good too! we did a tradeoff so i spent the night in ochi. the people there are really nice and ready! the church is just starting to grow there so it was nice to see an almost fresh start. another cool thing, they have Dew! i was so glad that i got some! it really made me feel refreshed haha.
day 30 thursday
the last bit in ochi was odd. the bike that i was using got a flat on our way to service so we had to skip the service and walk clear back to town to get it fixed. after that we had nothing cause we had to get back to Portie soon. we went to the market next to the church and i got 2 jerseys. i will be sending one to keaden as soon as i can find a post office haha. the ride back was way long! it took us like 3 hours! how many people fit on a bus here? always one more! so crowded and no air!
day 31 friday
friday the 13th was odd. we planned a service for our investigator being baptized tomorrow so that was nice. our 10 year old investigator told us that he didnt want to be baptized. his friends were a big distraction too so when we teach him next it will be just him and on the importance of being baptized. then the chain on my bike got all tangled up! i was so ticked! we were about to teach someone else and had to reschedule. it took us like 20 min! then someone came to help and did it in 10. this is why i hate bikes. i know nothing about them.
day 32 saturday
slow days are productive days for us here. our investigator was baptized today. it took a few tries to have it valid cause a part of her body kept sticking out. after lunch we taught 2 people who weve been teaching for about 1.5 weeks. we taught them the law of chastity. we didnt want to cause we can tell that nothing is going on and that they consider themselves a family. we will call president brown about the situation tho.
day 33 sunday
there havent been any arguments for 2 weeks haha! church is so good here! i never know what people are saying but the spirit is really strong. its kinda odd tho when the members just say what is on their mind even if it has nothing to do with whats being taught. most of them are crazy i guess. we called president brown about the situation with our investigators. they are fine cause of a 20 year age difference and she is just taking care of him. but there is a member there that will have to either move out or marry the woman. its up to her on what happens cause its her house so hopefully everything works out well
