Hello everyone. This blog is going to be for the last 2 weeks since I missed a week. Well last week Elder McCready and I both got really sick so for about 3 and a half days we could not leave our tiny one room apartment. so really last week there was no exciting news ............EXCEPT that Angie was baptized on August 20th at approximately 7Pm. So yeah it was a really good end to a really bummer weak. Angie is a stud, she is doing so well its crazy, she loves church and really has taken it all on. She told us the other day that she has never been happier in her life. It has been awesome. She always thanks me for not giving up on her. I don't know if I talked about this lesson on the blog but We almost lost Angie. It was a couple days before Elder Monty left and it was almost our last lesson with her, she said that she had chosen a church and that she didn't like the Book of Mormon. I remember just saying a short prayer to myself asking for help for what to say and do and out of nowhere I was getting things to say and she says herself that it was that lesson that kept her from closing the door. It was probably one of the best lessons on my mission and it resulted in her getting baptized and now she is an awesome member who wants to plan to go to the Salt lake Temple. It is so awesome to go over there and see how happy she is and for her to tell us how happy she is and how good she feels.
The next Monday, the 22nd, we flew to Jamaica to listen to Elder Vinnas of the 70 speak. He was touring our mission. It was really cool, he shared a lot of cool things on the Atonement, he answered a lot of questions about the Atonement that I have spent a couple of days trying to find the answer to. It was a really cool experience. Wednesday we got back to Cayman and went teaching. Yaimy, the Cuban investigator we have been teaching, has a testimony which is awesome, now we just need to work on getting her to church more consistently. But she is cool, she is actually a pro singer and she played a song for us and it was really good, she is planning on singing at the talent show this Friday for the branch. We have something really good planned for the talent show too, there is also going to be a karaoke machine there so yes I will be flexing the golden pipes to some celine and probably some Beyonce. Its times like these I wish I was part of the Von Trapt family. Our investigator Chris, the one we found because of the boat, made it to church yesterday. That was really cool he is an awesome guy and just needs some positive influences in his life. We set up a time to see a member's wife who is not a member so that is really exciting, this guy actually founded the Canadian football league and owned a team. He and his wife are really nice and have a lot of really cool experiences that they have had in there lives. So I'm really excited to meet with them more. Hopefully we can help is wife into the church. I'm also waiting on letters from 2 mysterious somebodies, hopefully they arrive.
