Dear Family,
Well this week was all right. It’s just
been kind of full of ups and downs. We haven’t been having a whole lot of
success like we want. This week has been full of parties in the streets and
it’s just been kind of hard to preach. We didn’t have a single investigator at
church this last week, but there were some good parts. We had a lesson with C
where we taught him about the trinity; how God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost are
separate beings. It was a bit of a difficult concept for him, and we taught him
using his own Bible. In the end he seemed to understand that we were
right, but he just kept saying the Bible has errors so we cant trust it. It was
kind of frustrating because it was at 9:35 when he said that and we couldn´t
stay to explain it more.
Also this week we hand an intercambio
(exchange) with the district leader. That was fun because I always like walking
around with a Dominican comp. The people are a lot nicer to you and accept you
a lot more. We had a really good day and visited a lot of people. One of the
highlights was a lesson we had with this Haitian investigator. We took a member
who is also Haitian and we started teaching about the Trinity and the
investigator and the member were being obstinate. Out of nowhere he and the
member just started fighting it out in creole and it was crazy. At the very end
of this huge creole battle, of which I understood very little, the member
looked over at us and told us, “he says that God is a spirit because that’s was
the Jehovah’s Witnesses taught him and he won’t listen to reason.” So by that
time the Spirit was gone and we couldn’t get it back, so we set a return visit
and left it was kind of a shame.
Anyway, like I said this week has kind
of been a downer. There have been a ton of parties in the street. This Sunday
we were at a recent convert family’s house and there was the most disgusting
party going on right out front. It was like no matter what we did, the Spirit wouldn’t
stay. We were shouting to be heard over the music.
But anyways I hope the best for all you back
home and hope that you all have a great week.
Love,
Elder Stark
