This week started off pretty slow, but some interesting
things happened too. But first I have
recovered from Chikungunya and now Elder Colfack has it. It’s kind of funny its supposedly transmitted
through mosquitos but Elder Colfack uses his mosquito net, takes anti mosquito
pills and wears bug spray and still got the sickness so I guess all of that
stuff doesn’t even matter to the beast mosquitos they have here!
Anyway one crazy and sad thing that happened was Nelsons
house got burned down. We were in the
middle of a lesson and then we just seen a huge black pillar of smoke coming
from the direction of where Nelson lives.
After the lesson we ran over there and it was raining ash, luckily he
wasn’t inside. The fireman were not sure
if someone started it or if was faulty wiring (he wired it himself by taping
wires he found on the street together) so it’s a toss-up which one it was. But this experience has helped him come back
to Church and apply the principles we have been teaching him more in his
life. Please pray for him this is the
second time in a year that this has happened to him.

On a little bit lighter note, we had divisions with Elder
Scanlan and Elder Gonzalez, I went with Elder Gonzalez. He is way cool, it was kind of funny we
started talking about music and found out that we like the same rock
groups. He is way cool and was actually
in a band before he came out on his mission.
We found some really good contacts and found a new smoothie shop that
was awesome. It makes a really good
smoothie with fruit you have never heard of like the Guanabauna.
Kind of slow week, love you all!!

June 1st
This week we had a meeting everyday but Saturday. President was here for interviews so we had
two days of training with him and they were really good! The new AP’s we have did a really good job
putting training together that really helped improve our training. One in particular was about using the
scriptures and relying on them more than yourself.
We finally moved all of the desks and stuff like our dressers
out of our old apartment into our new place so it doesn’t feel like we are
living in a hotel anymore because we have a place to put our clothes. We gave a Nelson a few of the really old
desks that were in our old apartment and he was able to sell them for some supplies
to help rebuild his house. I lucked out
when we had Divisions because Elder Olsen had to help Nelson carry these huge
wood planks up to his property so he could start rebuilding his house. Elder Olsen said it was the hardest service
projects of his mission. So I was able
to dodge that bullet. Ha Ha The division
was way cool we had a super good lunch, some good ol fried fish with rice and
beans. The member where we ate was
excited to show us this new electric massager the he had just bought. It worked by shocking you with these suction
cup things you put on the area you want to massage. Elder Jeffery put one on each wrist arm and
then grabbed each others wrists to see how high we could go. We got to 8 out of 15 and then it started to
feel like a taser so ya we stopped.
We have an investigator with a Baptismal date!! Fernando is this really nice guy who has a
strong desire to become a member of the church, so pray that he keeps progressing
and growing his testimony. We also
rescued (helped reactivate) a member who
used to be in the Bishopric and then who fell into inactivity. It is
great to see him back at church and he is now our Mission Leader.
Love Elder Keyes
