Sister Bennie is doing great. We had a really successful week this week, and all the investigators and members love Sister Bennie. We met a great family, the women is married to...or dating I'm not sure, a man from Guyana! We haven't met him yet, because he is a police officer and is busy a lot, but we feel like this family has great potential. We taught her about eternal families and she was really interested. She has two little girls and they are really cute. Family is definitely important to her, so the gospel will truly bless their lives.
I am getting to be a great driver from learning to drive here! I don't think I'll have any more problems in the States when I get home, so insurance shouldn't be a problem, haha. I am more alert when I drive now and can back up and use my mirrors really well!
As for shopping, it was alright. We didn't find too much, but sister Bennie did buy a couple of really cute skirts and one shirt. It takes a lot of hunting to find anything good here. There are just little shops in town like you might find on the boardwalk of a beach or something...at least it reminds me of the small shops in Ocean City, New Jersey when I went with Kristen. I almost got a skirt like the ones Sister Bennie got, but they were a little on the short side for me. I will keep an eye out though.
Well, I love you LOTS! And I miss you. How is the country doing btw? I heard Obama might start war on Serbia or something...? Keep me posted so I know whether to expect the second coming ;) Jk.
Love,
Sister Bratt
Finding cool abandoned mansions!
This is an abandoned building we found while contacting last week, we asked around and got different stories. The gist is that the man who built it was a millionaire con man who laundered the money or something. Eventually the police went after him and he fled the country. After he left either the people burned it down in anger at the man, or it accidentally happened, we aren't quite sure. But it looked like it was either a hotel or a country club of some sort from the membership cards we found. It was once really beautiful, and the view from that location is amazing! Too bad they don't put something else there.
