Well good week. Not a whole lot of work really another week of making lots of runs to go get a car fixed. Another missionary here got in a car accident and so i have been the one taking it to the insurance and getting everything done. Then on top of that we are having problems with the old landlord he is asking for more and more money. So most of my week this week was spent on car getting quotes to get it fixed. The cheapest quote was 900 nd was from the same guy that hit the car. He owns his own shop and offered to fix it for 900. Toyota wanted 2000 Crazy!
But not only that we also had a crazy experience with the Gas here on the island. Chavez. Is crazy! he saw the US military here in curacao so he stopped gas flow from venezuela to curacao. For three days there was no gas and power was on and off throughout the island. we were driving around getting emergency things water and such for the apartments. that was form monday until wednesday then from wednesday on we were doing the insurance deal till friday with teaching appointments here and there. Then on saturday we did a service project for our branch president and had a missionary activity that night so our saturday was pretty much gone too! but sunday was a day full of missionary work. We got our goals for the day and it was great! Felt good the first day of the week that we had gotten it.
We have several people here in curacao with baptismal dates. and when all the missionaries leave next transfer i will be left here with a lot of baptismal dates. I should get a bunch of baptisms at the end of my mission. Maybe. We will see how well the continue.
The mission is an awesome opportunity. I have learned so much and grown (not physically) but spiritually. Each person is a human being going through struggles and pains and needs direction. My goal is that i can share with them just a little bit of what i have recieved from the book of mormon. ITS A BEAUTIFUL BOOK! Its a True Book.!
