This week was pretty cool! First thing cool is all the languages we have encountered in 3 months! Hebrew, Greek,
Italian, Chinese, Kriol, English, German, Garifuna, Spanish, Quche and Ebo. Lots of different things her in Belize.
We had 60 people in church this week, which was awesome. Elder Leslie and I brought 5 investigators! We Found this Rosta man, and this other family that speaks both English and Spanish so when we teach them lessons we have to teach in both languages.
For a spiritual experience, we went to go look for a guy named John. And we walk up to this house and start yelling "John!" and out walks this guy.. and he asks, " Who sent you here?" and us being missionaries we yelled "Jesus!". He got really excited and said hold on I'll be right down. Turns out, John had just gotten done saying a prayer asking God to send someone to talk to him. He was thinking that one of the members sent us because he talked to one last night so it was expected... but we hadn't even talked to the member so we wouldn't have even known! Super cool guy. He was baptized 13 years ago and is starting to come back to church!
We met some really cool Italians that thought we were going to help them sell weed wackers but when we told them no they stormed off.
Well this week I've decided that I'm just going to stick with Mac and cheese because it's easy and pretty cheap so that will be my new food of the week!
Not a super long email because we had to go to Belize city today to the doctor to check up my arm. Now they think I have a staff infection or something and they gave me a bunch of pills to take. I'll be fine so don't worry! We also ate at a buffet restaurant that cost us $20 BZD which is expensive.
Thanks for all the messages everyone!
