Tropical Splash

There is a new Caribbean twist to Colchester and her name is Sister De
France. When she arrived, the sun came out for probably the first time
since I've been here:) It's about time we get some tropical vibes over
here. It has been a long and miracle filled week with my new hilarious
companion!
Our days have been packed with crazy tender mercies. . . On Wednesday
we met with a couple of our recent converts and they all wanted to
come finding with us! Bless them. So they came out and hit the streets
with us. It was so fun to stop people when we had our little posse
with us. They were so good and handing out pass along cards and
everyone was rejecting us as per the usual. (There's always a miracle
though so don't worry;) It even got to the point where security came
and asked us to leave the street, so we left and went to another
street they said was okay to go to. THEN we ran into the most awesome
person and we all got to testify to him, I almost started crying as
our recent converts bore testimony to this guy and told him why he
should meet with us and why the Book of Mormon was true and how it
helped them in their lives. It was SO sweet. And they were all so
excited!!
The very first day of the transfer, opposition hit Sister Barnes HARD.
Our investigator's friend called us and told us to never contact our
investigator again and he's not interested and don't even try and just
yelled and yelled and yelled at me. And I know that's not what our
investigator really felt like because he was scheduled to have his
baptismal interview that night, so needless to say I was completely
gutted. SO SAD. But then, later on in the week we had a member
appointment, we knocked on this member's door and our INVESTIGATOR
answered it! Since this member helped teach and fellowship, she said
there was no way she was going to let our investigator not be able to
learn. Biggest miracle ever!!
We also tracted a family this week and they are super awesome! It was
so amazing to see the spirit guide us literally right to their door.
We had a baptism in Colchester Ward yesterday for sweet Antonella to
finish off the week! We are having a wonderful time and I'm so
thankful to be a missionary.

Wishing you all the best this week!

XOXO
