Delicious Lamb Gyros!

Things this week have been a little bit slow here in Valsayn. We did have an investigator that came to church this Sunday though. His name is Tony. Tony is a man in his 60s that we found scrolling through some old progress records. He used to come to church a while back, but has since stopped meeting with the missionaries. He is working on getting married and really enjoyed coming to church.

On Wednesday we drove down to San Fernando to do teaching visits, which in our mission is pretty much like an exchange, but not for a whole day. I spent a couple of hours with Elder Christensen, who is a fairly new missionary. We taught a woman named Ester who was baptized just on Saturday, and we were able to teach a Spanish investigator which was pretty much being taught by one of the members in the ward that speaks the language. Afterwards, we had some DELICIOUS gyros (which are a very popular thing here in Trinidad) They are made mostly by Middle East people and we don't pronounce it the same. These people make really good lamb gyros, which are my favorite believe it or not.

We had another great experience this week teaching Carlos. This week we talked more about the Restoration. One of the first questions that he asked us is "If there is just one truth, why are there so many different churches?" Then he told us that he feels like he needs to be part of a church, but he just doesn't know which one. Sounds EXACTLY like the same questions that Joseph Smith asked himself. These are the things that make missionary work so fun. His fellowshipper, who is a returned missionary, has done a tremendous job preparing this man since they work at the same factory and talk to each other all the time. I really love humble people.

There's a young woman from the Port of Spain area that we have been teaching named Tasquillia. We have been teaching her grandmother for a LONG time, but recently stopped and started teaching her. She actually lives in the part of Port of Spain that we aren't allowed to go, so we teach her at her grandmothers' clothing shop. She accepted the invitation to be baptized at the end of this month. She came to church and really really loved it.

The Gospel is true!!! Have a great week!

Here are a couple of interesting pictures we took this week:
