So far, the mission has been pretty good. We've had a couple slow days in the last week but we tried our best to keep working on the people in the area. I haven't taught a single lesson to anyone as we have only met with less actives and a couple investigators who we only read scriptures with outside their house. Hopefully we will be able to find a few more investigators and actually teach some lessons. We got a few people to come to church yesterday and that was quite the surprise!
The other day I met a lady who was nice at first but after about 5 minutes on her doorstep she started smashing my companion with shame and doubt. She was saying things kindly, but nothing kind. We tried to leave but she kept us on her doorstep for a while. Some of the things she said were quite out there.. We tried our best to help her and eventually decided to just start walking away. We offered her service as we walked away and she actually gave us something to do. We might try go back next week to follow up and maybe do that service but who knows!
It has rained and rained and rained all week too. We had to stop riding bikes and start walking everywhere so that we could carry our umbrellas. I've come home drenched a few times and it is so humid here. It is way different from the environment back home. But man do I love it here. Hopefully I will have a story or two more to tell next week.
