Elder Granados and Elder Barlow
Hey Family! So this week has been
great!!
So Monday all day for P-day last
week we were playing sports and we were both super exhausted. In the lessons
that night we were both falling asleep it was kinda bad. There was one point
that I completely spaced out and Elder Granados sorta did too. He just looked at
me expecting me to take my turn but I hadn't heard what he said so I just sorta
winged it. It happened to both of us and we were laughing about it all
night.
Tuesday, we had our weekly pizza
night!! Yeah I know that’s just what you want to hear as the highlight of my
week seeing as I’m a missionary, but really I look forward to some pizza that
tastes good. It’s not American good but
who cares! Also I think that I’m starting to gain weight!
Wednesday we had a great lesson.
We have this family, the Irasmawright family, and they love having us come and
teach them but they just won't get to church. So we went and had a lesson on
church attendance. We were super bold and the spirit was super strong. In the
end the dad, Rafiel, well, we could tell he definitely got the message. He was
like yeah I know you guys are worried and we should be taking this more
seriously. I just loved the look on his face, it was great. Sadly... they didn’t
come to church Sunday. But it was raining and you probably don't understand but
the Dominicans hate rain and never NEVER go out in it... it’s ridiculous. So we
will see about this upcoming Sunday.
I mentioned
Alexander and Ruby last week, but they showed up at church yesterday! It was my
first full family to ever show up at church together. In the principles of
doctrine class she totally shared all this great stuff that she had learned
about Joseph Smith. When she finished Elder Cardoso looked up at me as I was
trying to hide the smile on my face and I just gave him a wink then looked over
at Elder Granados who gave me a fist pump. ;) We had already invited them to be
baptized and they said yes but we are hoping to put a date with them soon :)
You know if
Dominicans kept all the commitments they make we would have tons of baptisms. I
was looking at my list of people we are teaching and almost all of them have
said yes to the baptismal invitation... We only now have to get them to comply.
:) haha
We
visited the book fair that they do once a year here in the capital it was really
cool. Never seen so many books in this country... well haven't seen very many at
all in this country... So when we went to the book fair, the
security was probably the toughest that I have passed through. I mean they
patted me down!! Weird feeling that was. I know I’m a representative of Jesus
Christ but do I look like a terrorist?? Oh well makes a fun
experience.
Love you
all,
Kaden
