Out on a WIM #8

IMG_0285#8
Good Afternoon! (Everyone here doesn’t really say “hello” “hey” “hi” They always say Good morning, Good afternoon or Good evening or goodnight!) This week has been so GREAT! It actually has been a lot of things. Basically any emotion you can think of I have felt it this week! It sounds very hot at home like it is here! It’s always so hot! SO this week:

Monday- CRAZIEST DAY EVER. We were supposed to do a lot of things. But we didn’t really have any time… We have some how become the “Assist-ers”. The O.’s were gone again this week. And so if anyone had a problem they came to us. SO we were taking care of everyone on Monday instead of ourselves! YAY. But it all worked out great. We took Sister C. around to say goodbye to some of the people we see. It was sad! We all cried.
Tuesday- We took Sister C. to the airport at 6:00 a.m… And then we welcomed SIster F. into our companionship 🙂 She is very sweet and likes to talk! It was a challenge to regain unity but everything went well. She really is a great girl.
Wednesday- Lots of lessons! Good day!
Thursday- GREAT LESSONS! We found out Sis. F. is leaving us to go with another set of sisters in our District. She was SO SAD.
Friday:Handed Sis. F. off to the sisters! It was so fun to have her and I learned a lot. I’m happy that there is two of us 🙂 Either way I think it is great! So we did a lot of contacting on this day…. WE RAN INTO THE AWESOMEST CRAZIEST PEOPLE. SOOOOOOOOO we were contacting by the O.’s house! (CRAZY STORY TIME) Alright so we come to this house and there is this lady named E. She starts telling us about how she HATES Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and saying very inappropriate things but that’s how she feels. She told us all about her life and awful things that have happened to her… And literally I am sobbing as we are teaching her. I think for more than one reason. I could never imagine anyone hating My Heavenly Father and my Brother Jesus Christ. They mean so much to me. And to imagine what she had been through to get to that point… IT BROKE MY HEART. So she then later told us that she was “fighting” with God and then was about to turn herself over to the devil when she heard a knock on the door and two girls say “GOOD EVENING!! :)” We prayed with her and for her and she started to cry and we gave her a hug and left. (This is the shortened version of this story) So we left and Sister T. and I just went to the car and prayed harder then ever. I was just weeping. For many reasons. But it was a cool experience. I loved it. Then we met some Less Actives and got ice cream with the Elders later that night!
Saturday- We picked up the O.’s from the airport at 10:45p.m.! AH! Out past curfew………. BUT I AM SO GLAD THEY ARE HOME! We were dead tired.
Sunday- We had a great fast and testimony meeting! I teared up many times! I love hearing the members testimonies! It gives me hope! WE HAD THREE INVESTIGATORS AT CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which like NEVER happens in Barbados…. 🙂 AWWWW… The Lord is blessing us so much! I can’t believe it!
So P. was at church, he doesn’t have legs! I think I told you about him. He is so solid. He is reading the Book of Mormon and loving it. I want to tell you about all of my investigators but there is not enough time!!!
I LOVE the PEOPLE! and I wouldn’t change that for the world! We are meeting so many people. They are my brothers and sisters. How we look doesn’t matter it what is on the inside that matters. We really have had better numbers than ever before this week. We have worked our bungs off and been BLESSED, BLESSED, BLESSED. It is all thanks to the Lord. He is my strength 🙂 Also today there is supposed to be a Tropical Storm flying through our area! We should be fine! Anyway I don’t have time to write you all individually but Mom, Dad, Ri, Janny, Chels, and Al…. I really do love you all with all my heart. I miss you guys but I love being a missionary! LOVE YOU! Have a great week! Keep the faith. Read your scriptures, pray and notice all of the Lords tender mercies 🙂 LIFE IS GREAT! Love, Sister Emily
