Tidbits from Sister Tibbitts: Transfer Six

Boy! Crazy week! Good news, though: Sister Roubidoux and I are together until August at least. And this transfer ends on my birthday! :D Just, you know, so you know *wink wink*

I learned to make buss up shut roti this week! It's super-easy; I will make it when I get home, kay? Also got chased by a dog into an investigator's house, which is for sure a first. Now I can say I have been chased by a dog!

We had an interesting experience Saturday night. So, our investigator Natalia is getting baptized soon; she a young woman who comes from a poor family. At first, I thought she wasn't really understanding anything we were teaching her, but then we showed her the Restoration video and she just started lapping up everything we taught. She has gained a testimony of the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith and just loves church. She can't read very well, but she and her mom have read some. Saturday night we met her as we were driving to a lesson with her. She was walking down the road, so we stopped, and she told us that a boy beat her up. She had a few scratches on her face and neck and pretty sure she had a concussion. We helped her clean up. When we talked to her mom, she didn't seen too surprised or concerned about it, like it was an everyday occurrence. I suppose if you live in those kind of conditions, it probably is. We asked Brother Duff to come and give her a priesthood blessing, so we sat around and watched Mormon Messages while we were waiting for her. Sister Roubidoux was so angry about it. She said if the boy had still been around, she probably would have busted HIM. Natalia has had a really hard life, you can tell, but she has remained strong and she is really excited about getting baptized on Saturday :D I was afraid she would not be able to come to church because of her head, but she was ready and came to all three hours. She's really cool :)

Not much else to report, other than the mission is splitting next week. As of July 1, I will no longer be in the West Indies Mission, but the Port of Spain Trinidad Mission :) We are all sad about President and Sister Mehr leaving, but excited for President Egbert.

Have a great week! I love you all.
