Well, this week has gone by too fast! But it's the first Monday of the new transfer so that's exciting!
We got a new investigator this week! She is the wife of another new investigator L. They are in their mid 50's I think and from Africa. They speak Spanish, French, and one of their native dialects. They traveled here 15 years ago or so to start anew and have a better life, though they have never had any job for a long period of time. They are so humble and we have visited with the wife 3 different times. Each time, she starts telling us all of these crazy life stories about her old life in Africa. The best part is that they have both read the Book of Mormon and have been searching for our church for years. They are golden! Cream of the crop. So that makes another investigator this week for a total of 6 in the past 6 weeks. We are pretty busy only teaching investigators now, we love it! Numbers are growing and the work is definitely hastening. The miracles are flowing in!
Saturday, we were asked to help out a member of the English ward with his annual 5k walk called Wayne's Walk. His son died in a car accident by a drunk driver a few years back and now they hold this awareness fundraiser to raise money for families who have lost children to drunk drivers. It's called Wayne's Walk because Wayne used to clean up a dirt path near the beach when he was younger and make it look nice. They've now made it a nice, concrete path with flowers and grass on the side as a memorial for it. Pretty cool! (pics 1 & 2)
Then, last night we were "ushers" at an interfaith musicale. Lots of people came to our church and participated in songs about God and such. The end finale was a huge baptist choir. It was like in the movies! People began to stand and dance shouting "Hallelujah!" and "Amen!". Haha it was great. (pic 3)
Well, keep on keeping on. Hope everyone's summer has gotten off to a good start! Hasta luego amigos :)
