Sorry for not emailing yesterday, I hope you weren't worried. It was Trinidad's independance day on Sunday, so the Holiday fell on the Monday after. Yesterday being a holiday meant that a lot of places were closed. We decided to take advantage of the extra time to go visit people in Sando so Sister Taufu'i can say her goodbyes. She leaves in a week and a half! Crazy!
In the morning yesterday we had an all Trinidad Sports Day with all the missionaries. There was football (soccer), American football, basketball, volleyball, and Frisbee. The senior couples provided snacks and drinks and President and Sister Mehr made an appearance on the way to the airport. Even in dress clothes, President Mehr got sweaty playing some basketball with the elders. Sister Mehr also hit the volleyball around with the sisters. It was a great activity made even greater by the participation of President and Sister Mehr. I'm sure he enjoys taking off the tie every now and again and playing with the missionaries; we enjoy it too.
This week was good. We are still working with the investigator who's dream I related to you last week. The last lesson we had with him, he expressed considerable concern and fear at feeling that, when baptized, the Lord would put him on a different path than the one he has for himself. He has big plans and ideas for his life and he fears the unknown. He is nervous about what God might have in store for him, because he has been receiving different promptings and revelation that it may be something great. We have felt from our first lessons with him, that the Lord needs him in his work, but it was even more strongly confirmed as he expressed the same feelings to us. I've never felt so strongly that someone was destined for a great work in the Lord's vineyard. Nor do I know how to help ease his fears of such a future. All I know is that the Lord knows what is best and we must put our trust in him.
I don't know what the new transfer will bring, but I will let you know next Monday who my new companion will be.
Have a great week!
Love,
Sister Bratt
