Sup dudes!
Solid week out here full of lots of good things. Saw some old man softball, lots of interesting interactions with drunks, and we found 16 people to teach. It was a fun time.
We started off the week trying to find some people and as we were walking around we ran into a softball field and watched some old man softball. Brought me back to my glory days playing with American Crafts and putting in work with the squad. I was enjoying how serious the guys here take it haha I felt like I was watching some professional baseball except with some chubby old dudes drinking beer instead of Gatorade and smoking cigarettes instead of eating sunflower seeds. Maybe this week I will go play with them.
So we found 16 people because a member hooked it up with referrals. We walked around the colony and talked with everyone he knew which was basically everyone. I had some amazing interactions with some drunk people and was even offered somebody's wife, it was an interesting conversation. We are hoping we can make progress with them. Being white with blue eyes is a big advantage because they start to speak English so it's easy to contact them.
I think the coolest part was yesterday during our lesson when we set 2 baptism dates. They have been taught for a year or so and were on date but it never happened. I asked at the end of the lesson if they believe in the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith's first vision and they said yes. I then told them that means they believe this is Christ's church and they are ready for baptism. We put the date for the 12th of June so pray it happens!
The church is still true and Jesus loves you! Love you all!
