Referrals? We don't need no stinkin' referrals - the weekly email

The reason I say that is because we've been having some odd success with tracting recently. Between people who we've taught quick lessons too at the door with a return appointment that went through, to one lady inviting us in because she'd seen us walking around so much and wanted to talk to us. It's been awesome. 

With tracting comes my quick story for the week about our investigator Patrice. This is a story of tracting with the Holy Ghost working with you too. Whenever we tract in the Tours de Magenta, we always pray in the morning beforehand, study our homemade map, and choose a tower or two to work during the day when we have lessons fall through or a little time there or whatever. I felt directed to one specific floor in a building. We knocked the first three doors, nothing. Then the last one, and Patrice opened up. We introduced ourselves and our message, gave him a Book of Mormon and made a return appointment. The first time we went by we had a great lesson and he asked tons of questions, and it's been like that ever since. He's progressing well, and all through tracting.

In other news Ana is doing, OK. The father of her two oldest kids, who want to be baptized, didn't give his permission for them to be baptized, so now we wait. We'll still teach them, but they can't be baptized until they have the ok from their father... Ana has been down about it too we think and we haven't seen her in a while, wish us luck.

On a happier note we're working better with the members now since we made a list for people to sign up on with what days and times they're available, which has helped us quite a bit. Things are picking up a bit out here, especially since a school vacation just finished up. Hopefully we'll have some great news to share soon!

Love you all!

Ouémo cannons pique-nique last p-day

*Quick explanation on the cannons, there are still a number of old WWII cannon emplacements that the Americans and Australians stuck here scattered around the island, now they're just lookout points for the most part, pretty cool though. 

 

The local supermarket. It's really not too different here sometimes.
