Sister Taufu'i and I are doing really well. It was nice to jump right in to teaching together since we already had done it before. It is definitely more effective when you don't have to adjust to teaching with a new companion.
Our investigator unfortunately disappeared again, but we still hope to find her. We have found some other good potential investigators including a family, a mom, 2 daughters, and a son. The father hasn't joined our lessons as of yet, but we will see if that will change. Yes, school starts again soon in the first week of September. We have been trying to work with the young women more over the summer. We were counseled by President Mehr to split up during church and help in different classes, so we have been switching off going to YW and Relief Society. We also wanted to take some of the young women out on splits on Sunday, but it didn't work out this time. We will keep trying, though.
One of the recent converts in our area came to church for the first time in a while with his sonl We visited him last Saturday and he told us he was getting some time with his son and he would bring him to church. Then we visited him Saturday for less-active visits with the branch, and sure enough, he called 26 times on Sunday morning around 8 to let us know he was there at church and that we were late. We missed the calls while we were getting ready. It was great to see him there in his white shirt with a smile on his face and his little boy on his lap when we walked into the chapel.
It hasn't been flooding in our area recently, but it is rainy season. The other day we heard that Port of Spain, the capital city, had some flooding problems and in some places there was dirty water up to peoples knees along the road.
I miss the Temple a lot. I'm sad that I didn't get to go more before my mission, so I'll have to make up for it when I get home.
