Good morning everyone!
I've officially been back in Suriname for a week, it's good
to be back, feels like I never left! I had a good week though, I met a lot of
interesting people! We met one man named Selvion (Silver in Latin) and as we
talked to him he said he had a friend named AJ or Silly who went to Venezuela
for his mission, I realized that we knew him but he went to the Dominican Republic,
it was funny though because now we know Jerome's nickname! He was really cool
though, we made an appointment to come back, it started raining pretty hard as
we were getting ready to go but considering I hadn't gotten soaked in while, I
welcomed it!
A spiritual experience this week was when we taught a man
name Daryl, we taught about the purpose of life and what happens after we die
and it was amazing to me that not only did he believe in what we said, all of
his questions were wonderful! I found peace through what the gospel brings and
as we read the scriptures with him, it was cool to watch him learn! His little
son was funny too, he wanted to bring his dirty bike inside the house and ride
so we likened it to the scriptures, "And no unclean thing can enter into
his kingdom". It was an awesome lesson.
I also had the chance to bear my testimony this Sunday to
introduce myself, it was fast and testimony meeting so we started and nobody
was standing up to go and share so I walked up there, Brother Ritfeld gave me
an approving thumbs up. It was cool to watch because after I sat down, it was
almost a continuous stream of people getting up, sharing their testimony and
then sitting down! Very uplifting sacrament meeting.
My tire also popped Saturday night, I'm officially
re-instated as a Suriname missionary!
Other than that though, not much happened this week! Take
care of yourselves and remember one thing: I love you, God loves you and Satan
hates your face.
Lobi!
