Crazy Week!!!!!!!!

Well this week was nuts!!!!!!! So like it was crazy... I don't even know what to say about it.... we were just busy busy busy. 

Elder Latu was with Elder Roberson and I again for most of this week, but the Tripanionship came and went way too fast! We had a lot of fun together!

So to clarify any confusion. Darion and Damyeune are not the same person... Damyeune is not our investigator anymore... we passed him off to another set of elders and he is to be baptized next Saturday! 

Darion IS our investigator. And he is doing great we taught him three times this week! it was great! So the first time we did what is called a CPR lesson... Pretty much the essentials to living: Church, Prayer and Reading the scriptures. We had invited him to church a few times but he hasn't come in the 3 Sundays we have been teaching him.. so we cracked down on that. Elder Latu bore a powerful testimony of church and committed him to come! It was amazing...more on that in a second. The next lesson we taught the law of chastity... it went as well as expected. We also invited him to the baptism of our ward mates investigator on Friday. So on Thursday ( the day before the baptism) we are trying to find us and Darion a ride over to the baptism... and we just couldn't. (OH and did I mention that me and my companion are heavily involved in the baptism... like we need to be there?) It wasn't happening.  But as we sit down to plan... like at 9 on the dot we get a phone call and a text confirming everything for our rides! Whoosh! So Friday morning ... the day of the baptism we go to Darion and confirm that he is going... got to one of  the members house that is giving us a ride and leave me there ( with a capable Melchizedek priesthood holder) He was conducting the baptismal service so we figured that I would be there early enough to change... LOL nope not quite hahah oh well it worked out. Meanwhile, my companions go back to Darion's house and meet another member there and some how beat me to the baptism. But what matters is that Darion came to that baptism and he felt the spirit!!! it was great!

Saturday... lil bit o rain nothing too bad. We taught Darion again and made sure he was coming to church. At first we thought he was trying to get out of it.... but instead he asked if his sister and her kids could come! It was great!

Sunday! We met Darion and the ride we found for him at his house and he and his sister and her kids came to church! Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  And they enjoyed it. Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we had to take Elder Latu back :( sad day. At this point it was raining like crazy!

Love

Ps. one pic is of the fire that was close to me. and the other is of Elder Latu, Elder Roberson and I.  The fire was like 20 miles from where I am. It was pretty bad apparently.  One set of elders was displaced for a day... but then they were able to go back. I think the total for the fire damages was 26 or 27 cars( some on a semi that was carrying them) 1 fedex truck and 6 or 7 houses.
