Christmas in June

Hello Everyone! This week was pretty good, seems like it went by pretty fast. Not a whole lot has changed, but here's an update on a couple things.

The rain has subsided to pretty much normal summer levels, i.e. some scattered rain throughout the day with some thunderstorms that pass through. There was a day this week though where a big thunderstorm passed through in the morning and filled up the moat behind our house again just as it was getting dried up. Oh well, there was some pretty awesome lightning so it was worth it. I even got a recording of the loudest thunderclap ever! Lightning struck pretty close to our house, it was cool! Lightning is my favorite, we never got it back home.

This week we've been working with Darline, a friend of one of our Haitian recent converts! We taught her the first lesson, but since then have kinda lost contact and she didn't come to church either. Hopefully we can get back in contact.

Other than that, it's pretty much been just going out and knocking doors. It's been good though, Elder Celestin made a competition for our district where we earn points for certain things throughout the day, and the area with the most points this week gets to blast the ZLs in the face with a coke/mentos explosion, or the ZLs blast the last place area if they win. Yesterday we all went super hard, we even did a fire exchange [not sure what this means?] while knocking to double our points. It worked really well. We each were able to find and teach some new investigators! Sister Sweetnam and Sister Osbourn won though, because they went out last night to Walmart and talked to everyone in the parking lot. They even got the cops called on them. Cheaters.





Other than that, there was one day this week where Elder Celestin got super sick out of nowhere in the afternoon, so we went back home around 6:00. He's feeling better now though so it's all good.
 
So, you'll notice some pictures of a Christmas tree, allow me to explain. One of the members in our ward bought us Christmas trees because he found them for super cheap online, because who buys Christmas trees in June? Anyways the next morning while the ZLs were off doing something, we set it up in their room blocking the bathroom right before we left. They got us back later by putting it in our shower, and after that we put it back away. Fun stuff.






That's pretty much it for this past week! This week we'll be having our last zone conference with President Richardson, that'll be interesting. We'll see how much will change from now on, if anything. My guess is that the new mission president will come in and things will be the same for a while until he settles in. Should be good! Thanks for all your support!
