Dear Family,
We came home one night to find a HUGE SPIDER on the ceiling above Sister Leishman's bed. It was seriously bigger than my hand. Yes, there was a lot of screaming. Yes, I smashed the living heck out of it. It was a great experience. Trinidad has some big bugs in it, especially at rainy season time.
We went to go visit one of our investigators after district meeting on Tuesday and he basically told us that he is not interesting in converting from Hinduism. He's a great guy who reads from the Book of Mormon and "believes it is true," but he has decided that we basically teach the same thing so it doesn't really matter. Yeah. So, we were sad about that, but we've seen some progress in a few other of our investigators. One of the hardest things from people to understand is the priesthood and that there is only one true church, but a young woman named Emily got it one time: "So, if my pastor doesn't have this power, he doesn't have the authority to baptize me?" No ma'am. That was a miracle for true. We were also stopped on the street by a man who wanted us to teach his daughters. They don't seem very interested, but he and his mom have been taking the lessons. Like Sister Leishman says, when one door closes, two more open. It was pretty cool.
Hey Mom, I thought you might like this: One of our investigators has a cross that has six birthstones on it. I know you like birthstones, so I thought you would like that :)
Have a great week! I am so excited for General Conference. Look out for those you could invite to view it, because you never know whose prayers you could answer.
Love, Sister Aida Tibbitts
