I hope this finds you well and happy!! My week was good!! But it has been trying!! The work in Uitkijk is tough, but we are making progress and really trying to help the members get excited about missionary work. So hopefully we see some results soon. We have our first baptism on the 29th, so this week. I am so excited! Fabienne is a cutie.
I am so glad that you had the opportunity to finally meet Elder Thompson. Everyone loved him here in Suriname! Hopefully this won't be the last baptism here in Uitkijk. We have a lot of really good potentials but we have a lot of work to do. We had a really awesome multi family family home evening last Friday. I had to give a short talk about working within a family to strengthen and build each other up. I was so scared. But according to the people in the crowd I did a really good job., I have seen the blessing of the gift of tongues in my life. Some people thought I was from the Netherlands. Who would have thought.
I have been trying really hard to learn the language and soak up everything I can. Elder Fernandes said I have the potential to have better Dutch than him. Which was a shock. But all I can do is keep working. But other than that it has just been missionary work. We are learning how to cook. And I have baked about 5 cakes in two weeks for sisters in the ward. I am a pro! Ha grap je. Dat is Naderlands so you know. It means just kidding. But anyway, things are splended in the Jungle. The critters are crawling, and the wlid monkey is howling. I have to catch or kill something new and exciting everyday!! Gotta love life. And I do!! Sorry this is short, time is short as well.
Love,
Mason
