Moving back over to Arima, wasn't too hard this week. It didn't take long to feel at home again after having served here for 3 months. Things really have started off with a bang in the area. Just before I got here Elder Hoard and Elder Raymond contacted a woman named Wendy. Wendy is not a member, nor any of her family and have barely seen the missionaries before, but she has been watching videos on the Mormon Channel for YEARS now. Some of the videos there helped her and her family make it through some really tough times in the past. Her son Ricky was given a copy of the Book of Mormon back in 1995 by one of the members and he has been reading it ever since. He was quoting scriptures from the Book of Mormon like he's been a member for years (But they're not). It's pretty crazy. They want to be baptized either at the end of March or the beginning of April. Yesterday we taught her, her son, and grandson, and hopefully, we will get some more of them to join on Thursday when we go back because there are more people in the house. God is truly working miracles.
We live in Arima, but we have been working a lot more recently in Sangre Grande which is the other ward that we are over. It's about a 25-minute drive away, which kind of makes things difficult, but we are finding a lot more people there that are interested.
This week the members of the branch painted the house of Sister Budram, a lady from the branch. Since everyone in Trinidad is pretty short they made me climb up on the ladder with the roller to paint the very top of the wall. haha. Afterwards, we had some of Sister Budrams chicken roti, which was delicious.
Well the Lord is hastening the work and we are really excited about the next 5 weeks and what is to come. We are planning, also, a big missionary fireside for the Arima and Curepe units at the end of this month. The members are going to be really excited about missionary work and the work will move forward even faster
Have a great week!
