So, found out yesterday during church that Elder Perry passed away. Someone was giving a talk and mentioned it. Sister Roubidoux almost started crying. It will be interesting to see who his successor in the Quorum is, but I know he is leading a missionary force in the spirit world :)
It's been an interesting week. Yesterday, Sister Roubidoux got beer, throw-up, and frog urine on her hand.
We've been working with a man named Hamilton. Hamilton met the missionaries in September, and he comes to church every Sunday. He just has some a few problems left before he can be baptized, which is sad considering he is more converted than some of the members.He has finished the Book of Mormon and is trying really hard to overcome his challenges. We gave him a book to help him overcome his addiction to smoking: he gave up weed, rum, and cussing, but he has this last addiction. Plus he lives which his girlfriend, which is another set of problems. Hamilton is so cool through. He calls us his angels. We set a baptismal date with his for August 15th. We hope and pray he will make this date.
This morning we went up with the other missionaries and a member and visited the Lopinot Caves. So, it's basically a winding hole in the mountain, quite slippery. There were bats, which was mildly freaky. Brother Rampersad told us that at the end there was a small pool with a blind fish that we would not find anywhere else in the world, but I don't think we found it. We did, however, find a rather large rock blocking our way. Oh well, probably the pool was dried up with rainy season anyway. Then we came back and Sister Rampersad had made us delicious roti and phulouri. We have now gained five pounds :)
Have a great week!
Love, Sister Aida Tibbitts
