What even happened this week. I am drawing such a blank. Well on Wednesday we went to the capital for Consejo. It was awesome, as usual. Diego is going to get baptized this Saturday! Go, Diego, go! His date was originally for the 30th, but he's ready and has all the lessons, so we talked about it with him and now he's getting baptized on the 23rd. We are finding more families to teach and that makes us HAPPY. We are praying to find more and more and more. The Lord is hastening the work here in the Dominican Republic. One of the families we found is with a single father and his four kids. We contacted him but couldn't teach him that day (there was no 18+ year-old woman around) so we left him a pamphlet about the Restoration and set an appointment. He gave us an incredible impression and we left so happy. Later we passed his house again and he was like "Hermanas! Wait! Wait!" We were scared for a second, thinking he would cancel on us or say he didn't want us to return. He approached us and said, "Hey can I have another pamphlet? My son took the other one, and I still have to read the last page with the definitions." Hermana Perez and I gave a sigh of relief and handed him one. Not a lot of people read their pamphlets here, let alone read until the definitions! Let's just say we're excited for our next appointment with him and his cute family. As we exercise faith in Christ, there is no room to fear. Whatsoever we ask in his name, that is good, shall be given unto us. And so, why fear? Ask, doubting nothing. The Lord shall provide. In His time and in His way, he shall provide. Yet we must have the faith to ask. I love you all. May the Lord be with you. Hermanita Shaw It took us like 18 tries to get a good jumping picture. Worth it. We are always so tired. #missionlyfe On the way to the capital for Consejo de Lideres. Early morning bus rides baby.
