Hey Family!
Things here in Guyana
are great! The weather is hot always, which is good because it never feels like
Christmas. Which means we sing Christmas hymns all the time! Elder Ruegger and
I came out at the same time which means we are like co-companions? But this is
my area so I do most of the planning and stuff because Elder Ruegger is so new.
So, I’m the senior companion I guess.
This week was so
awesome! I love it here so much! I know, even though it is super hard, that
Jesus Christ and His Atonement can give us the power to do all things! This
week I was able to see that love at the Baptism of Marsha. As she followed the
example of Jesus Christ and was baptized unto repentance. I know that Christ
loves Marsha, and me, and also everyone that reads this simple email from a boy
that has no idea what he is doing! Even though I’m not a perfect missionary or
a perfect person, I do know that He loves us! When we are good, when we are
bad, when we are close or far. He suffered for our sins, he did that so we
might live, and he was raised on the third day so that we can do the same! I
Love you, and more importantly HE LOVES YOU! Be strong!
I did do something
amazing for my birthday! I got the opportunity to teach the word of God to
those that don't understand it yet! BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!! And yes I eat goat,
it was delicious.
This week was all over
the place, I’ll cover the highlights.
The Companion: Elder
Ruegger is my new Companion! He is so cool! He lived in Logan before his
mission, He loves Rugby and plays position 8, if that means anything to
anyone.
The Transfer: I went and
stayed with Elder Alitasi for a few days in Cangie it was cool! Their apartment
is much more humble than ours, so I did my best to help clean and things like
that!
The Baptism: Everything
was great! We only had both the speakers missing and the opining prayer
missing! And we almost forgot the Baptism clothes, twice. And I almost fell in
the trench, twice! We really need to fix the bridge into the church... Marsha's
baptism was amazing! Will you and the family write or email her? Will you bear
your testimonies and stuff? I think that would be really cool!
I love it here so much!
I love the people here so much! I love everything about this crazy place!!!
Love, Elder Andrus
