This week was a good week. We had some crazy things happen. Monday after our tour of the island we did a family night. The lesson went well and we had fun. The next day we found out that the one of the family members had lost their unborn child. That was a shock. After we finished our lessons on Tuesday we went to the family's house Tuesday night to support them. It's always sad to find out that someone has passed away. I'm glad to be alive.
Wednesday we did a split. I went with Elder Bagley to do a baptismal interview. We went from our house to the other side of the island in 30 minutes. We went at an average speed of 30 kmh on bikes! It was so crazy.
Thursday we found out that the baptism had to be moved to Friday. So Friday morning my companion and I cleaned out the font and filled it up. The baptism happened and I was blessed to baptize Raihau. Who is the adopted son of Myrta who got baptized not too long ago. I was so happy to know that he can now enter in to the kingdom of God. Today my trainer came to help us for the week. And this week coming up our ward is supposed to get split. We are not one hundred percent sure if it will be split because they have not yet found a spot for the new church. But now, they just need to find a place to meet in order to have the 3rd ward. Anyway, we call our trainers our mothers or fathers in this mission. And because my "dad" is an AP, he travels everywhere.
Family I love you, thanks for being there for me, even if I don't hear from you, I know you are out there and I love you all.
Love,
Elder Squires
p.s. I can't send photos because it has been forbidden on our computers at the church to put things in the USB. Oh well. A little patience and photos will come.
