"good thing we had wood to build a boat to get into town"

i took these pics this morning... thats why we were late to email.. 

Thought we were going to be trapped in our house all day today but good thing we had wood to build a boat to get into town.. All kinds of rain this morning. It poured rain all the way to church yesterday as well was wet all of church and then right when im almost dry we leave and get about a hundred yards from the church and it dumps on us! All of our appointments fell through so we we left soaking wet wandering around for a while until we could find someone to teach. 

Anyhow this week has been pretty slow. I woke up Tuesday morning feeling horrible and about half way through the day it hit elder Stuart as well. Just miserable. But it went away for the most part and then Sunday it came back to me so most of the week i have been sick. 

There was a lot of good things that happened this week though. We had a zone meeting where we really focused on the recent converts and how we can help them to progress and become Active members of the church. Learned a lot from that. 

Then on Friday we were having our super planning for the week and we were reviewing a lady that has a Baptism date and were discussing how we felt that she wouldnt be ready by that day. Well we thought on it and i remembered that when we extended the date we said July 7th but she thought that was to far away and said she could be ready by the 23rd of june so we moved it to that. Well after talking about it and so forth we just felt that that was the day July 7th is when she needed the date for. She could be more prepared by that day... Well then we had to tell her and i was nervous because she is so excited for her date to come.. Well we just start by telling her how when we first extended the date we wanted to shoot for July 7th and that is what we really feel that God wants. I truly believe that that was the day that when we prayed that the Lord wanted. So it was just a cool experience and once we put it that way she said well if that was the first date then that is the right one. So i learned to always stick to what we receive the first time. 

But other than being sick it has been a pretty good week overall. 

"little view of paradise" 

One night we were walking home and we live about a mile from town so we are on the road and i turn around and see this lady walking really fast behind us. I turn to Elder Stuart and say is that the crazy lady?? I look back and sure enough it is! She just blows past us and then goes up to this gate so we speed up almost to a jog but she comes up with a Mango in her hand and is trying to give it to Elder Stuart.. Finally he takes it and then she does a creepy face and then turns around and walks off.. it was pretty intense.. And every time we see her on the road she comes up and is just creepy. But anyhow that was the random story of the week..

Anyways i love you all!!
