Well I've managed to avoid getting moved away from my
favourite area, so I've managed to secure myself six more weeks here.
Well, things are moving quickly for us. Matthew was baptized
this Sunday and guess what, the font boiler was broken... what a surprise. This
always happens at all of my baptisms, something always decides to brake about
24 hours before the baptism. Well Mathew and Dorothy didn't mind the cold
water... to much. We boiled about 30 gallons of water in a massive pot on the church
stove, which took about 2 hours and didn't make a blinking bit of difference.
But at least we tried.
So I'm really happy with what has been going on
here. Last week I met another cool guy, his name is Chris. He's the same
age as Mathew, 25, and he's been around the block in his life. He's been into
drugs and alcohol since he was young and nearly died a year or so back. Since
then he decided to clean up his act, and I accidently bumped into him in the
town center as we were passing through. Through his past experiences, he now
believes there is something more in life which he believe God saved him from
dying. So he's been more than happy to listen to our message and he attended
Church this sunday and saw our baptisms there.
As for me, I'm just glad I didn't have to pack my bag this
week. I'd be really disappointed if I had to leave. It'll be good to see people
progressing still here. My companion and I get along pretty well. Obviously we
are not perfect, and we get our times when we clash a bit, but who doesn't? I
think one of the best things we've been able to do is plan. We have the next
three days here booked, so I'm glad that there is always something to do here.
Never bored. I guess that probably why the last six weeks felt like one week.
Well I hope all you people out there are doing well. Have a great week :)
Love,
Elder Bradley Smith
