Week 17

Greeting from Guyana!

Hello everyone! This week was amazing! I’m so happy to be in this crazy place! I love it so much. Missionary work is the best! Something exciting happens everyday. There is no such thing as a boring day of missionary work!

Here are some great quotes I collected this week: 

“If you put a name tag on a tree, Mormons would marry it.” -Kiafa 

“If a cat could name itself, it would name it Sexy.” -Elder Hardy

Monday: P-day! P-days are always interesting. We didn’t have a lot to do though. So that was nice. You could say it was “relaxing”. We did have a great lesson with the Dass family about Nephi choppin’ heads.

Tuesday: We went to Manchester today! I love Manchester! We also had a really good DM about how to be a successful missionary! It was awesome! In Manchester we taught Tanya, Marsha, Sati and Sister Vivian. Sister Vivian is the best! She has such faith in the truth of the BOM! I hope I can have that kind of faith like her.

Wednesday: Remember DM? We put that to the test! We had 9 lessons planned for today and all of them fell through! And since our bikes are broken we walked everywhere! We probably walked 14-15 miles. It was a good day!

Thursday: Back in Manchester! We had some awesome lessons today! We taught Atina and Tanya, Sheena, Marsha, Sati and Cynthia. It was a really fun day! We brought Kiafa around with us teaching and he is so funny!

Friday: The Fry’s are in town and came teaching with us. (The Fry’s are the Georgetown senior couple) We saw Vicky and Michelle, Sis Ragu, Bro Neville, and others and had correlation. It was a fun day! We had Chinsing come with us and he is a boss!

Saturday: We went to Manchester! And we also went to Elder Johnson (my MTC friend) and Elder Rigg’s baptism! It was really cool! Elder Johnson asked me to give a talk on the Holy Ghost. Be prepared for the unexpected!

Sunday: We had 55 people at church today!!! It was so awesome! It felt like a real branch! Also, Pres/Sis Hussain fed us! Fried rice! It was really good! They have a cat named Sexy! So funny! Sis Hussain walked in and Pres said, “Hey Sexy!” Elder Hardy and I were super confused. But he was talking to the cat! We all lost it for a few minutes!

This week was so much fun! Missionary work is had, but it’s so much fun, if you love it!

The book is blue, the church in true, and I love you!

Love, Elder Andrus
