This weeks been
crazy, but fun! First off it was Hermana Santana's Birthday so I HAD to
do something special. The first picture is evidence of what we did.
Yes, I bought a little bottle of bubbly to celebrate the big 21! Of
course it was the sweet bubbly of soda. It was pretty embarrassing
buying it at the colmado, asking for the non-acoholic grape juice!
Things
are progressing a little in Bonao! We've been meeting with our
investigators and have two families that have said they've prayed about
it and know the church is true. Something cool that happened is one of
our investigators is blind and at the beginning when we've been teacher
her she had really bad depression. Since we've been meeting with her
she's a lot more happier. She always wants us to visit every day and
wants to know more and more about the gospel. Since she can't read we
were going to put an order for the CD's of the BOM and Himnos on tape.
The next day Hermana Santana got a package from her mom for her Birthday
that had the CD's on tape! It's was a little tender mercy because she
hadn't even asked her mom or said anything to her family about them.
We
also had a special broadcast specifically for the Carribbean given by
Elder Holland, Elder Packer, and some other important people that I
can't remember right now. IT. WAS. AMAZING. They had translators for
Elder Packer and Elder Holland. But at the very end of Elder Hollands
talk he bore his testimony in Spanish. It was so amazing and so powerful
to hear his testimony in a language he doesn't know and is
uncomfortable with speaking. It just shows that it's the spirit that's
felt not the words that are said. He's also coming on a tour of the
Carribbean areas in March so I'm hoping he stops by this neck of the
woods!
Well I hope
everything is going well. Its so nice seeing pictures of my cute little
nicece and nephew (a.k.a Kins and G-money). So START SENDING PICTURES OF
THE OTHER TATER TOTS!
