First of all I would like to wish mom and dad a happy anniversary (It should still be the 16th in Guyana I believe).
I received Eve's package last Monday after I wrote my emails. It
was perfect. Now my little house looks all ready for Christmas. I am
also very much enjoying the music from Becky and Jason.
It has been raining soooo much this week. We have defiantly made
good use of our umbrella's. I think I'll have to get a larger one soon.
Yesterday it was blowing hard and my stomach and head were the only
things that didn't get soaked.
I'm really loving teaching these people in Kolonia. We have one
older Yappese woman who told us she is on her quest for truth and she
has narrowed it down to the Jehovah Witness church and our church. I was
excited to find a Yappese Book of Mormon in our house and we gave it to
her the next day. The best part is that it is translated completely
and she actually reads it. I know she will get her answer soon and will
be a great influence to her family in the future.
One of our golden investigators that disappeared was back in town
yesterday and we had an opportunity to teach her along with a bunch of
the neighborhood children that were over at her house. She is only 16
but seems to be that boss of what goes on in their home. She even makes
her 16-year-old niece sit in and participate in the lessons.
We did service for Yolanda and Glory Ann this week. When we showed
up in our shorts and t-shirts they were surprised and didn't think we
were actually serious. They had plenty of weeding for us to do though.
The people here really don't like seeing me work. They say silly things
like "You're going to get itchy because your skin is white." I usually
have to just start working before they have a chance to make up an
excuse. I know they appreciate it in the end though.
Aaron, I assume you're getting everything worked out for the skype
call with Elder Lefevre. I'll make sure to mention what you wrote in
your email just in case though.
I love you all,
Sister Beutler
