There is not that much to report this week. We contacted into a woman who is "never, never, never, never, never" (etc., etc.) getting married, a Jehovah's Witness who probably thinks we know absolutely nothing about the Bible (because we know that Jesus is Jehovah, not Heavenly Father), and a Hindu who was very interested to see if we would still be LDS in ten years. Other than that, pretty normal.
So, remember how I would hunt flies in our kitchen at home? Mosquitoes are the  new flies, except we use our hands to kill them. Sister Hendricks smashed a skeeter on the floor the other night, and blood came out (it was her blood). There is a bit of a graveyard around where we do our nightly planning :) It can get frustrating, because they seem to vanish in mid-air after you try and catch them.
 
In our studies, we read the beginning of Mosiah. My district leader in Barbados asked us to read King Benjamin's message and see how he taught towards a commitment, i.e., taking upon them the name of Jesus Christ. He mentions it at the start, and by the end of his speech, the people are the ones who ask if they can make the covenant! King Benjamin is an awesome missionary. I've heard of a few times when people ask to be baptized, but it hasn't happened to me yet.
Carnival is next Monday and Tuesday, so I will probably be emailing on Wednesday or something. Driving is crazy, because there are a lot more cars on the already narrow roads, and there are a lot of fetes (parties). Basically, Carnival has already started, just not the parade :P Wish us luck.
Have a great week, and Happy Valentine's Day!
Love, Sister Aida Tibbitts
