But
anyways, this week I´ve regretted all the times I thought French class
was boring and didn´t even try to remember French after 11th grade.
"WHY?" you may ask.... Well because there are so many HAITIANS
here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
They are such a loving people who are searching for God and love
missionaries. They are incredibly poor, incredibly happy, incredibly loving people who sometimes understand portuguese. We
taught and brought a Haitian couple to church yesterday, and the husband
(Mackso) speaks and understands portuguese very well. However his wife,
(Natasha) speaks only Creolo (French.) And well, I don´t remember
anything.
Funny story: We taught a different
Haitian man, and he lived in the Dominican Republic for some years, so
he speaks fluent Spanish. And well, my companion, Sister Vargas happens
to be from Peru! So we had a lesson in Spanish! (Tanner (Elder Eliason),
are you proud of me?!) I really don´t know anything, just know how to
bare my testimony in Spanish, so my companion basically taught
everything. But it was kind of awesome, because I understood almost
everything!!!!
The man who came to general
conference, Jamil, unfortunately didn´t come to church yesterday because
he traveled to Mato Grosso (another state) to look for a job.... surprise. But we will continue to try to visit him and teach him whenever
he gets back.
Hey, I love you all!!!! Hope you have a fantastic week! I know the savior´s hand is in our day to day life.
love,
Sister Eliason
