We got our transfer calls this last Saturday. Elder Hoard and I will be staying together here in Arima for the next 6 weeks. It should be a really good transfer. We are really excited for Christmas this year.
The best thing that happened this week was a referral we received from a less-active member. She referred us to her cousin who lives right next door. We went over and taught her and her husband and their 4 young children. They are a wonderful family, who are religious people. We have good hopes for them. Her nephew, actually, is a returned missionary from the branch, who we are hoping will be able to teach them with us.
Laruel is still progressing really well and preparing herself for the 29th. This week we taught her about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which went great. We were really sad when she didn't make it to sacrament meeting yesterday, but we were sitting in Sunday school when she and her kids walked in. She seems to be making friends really fast with the Relief Society women.
There isn't much else to say about this week. It was really short. Transfers weren't super eventful. There's only one missionary who changed areas here in Trinidad. However the missionary that will be coming up from Guyana is my MTC companion who I haven't seen for 15 months now. We are hoping that in the next couple of transfers we will get a whole bunch of new missionaries so that we can open up some new areas here, since all the areas are HUGE. There was once about 50 missionaries in Trinidad and now there are 8.
Have a great week!
Elder Porritt
