Well this week is over. I taught six lessons. It was interesting that as I sat to prepare the lesson, I received exactly what needed to be taught, and even the method how to teach the doctrine. It was stressful being in front of most of the 225 students off and on throughout the week, but it was also a great lesson, depending upon Father for the things He wanted taught. It is His work, and He wants certain things done, and I feel privileged to be one who can do it. I told Bon this morning that I taught more this past week than I will be teaching the rest of the year.
Our duties are expanding. As each week goes by, we find other things we can do, and check out ways to do them. The youth we work with are certainly very, very well scripture educated, and supportive of us.
No, I have not FLATTENED any cock roaches this past week, much to Bonnie's joy. Honestly, we did find TWO places where a tree is growing out of a pot hole on the street. We couldn't stop because of the traffic, but that is on our watch list to find and record by film. We have mold growing out of our bathroom ceiling. Trying to get rid of that. We finally received drapes and screens. Our bright yellow walls are matched with the bright orange drapes. We almost have to wear sun glasses in our apartment.
Here's the story. The young elders found a sister to make drapes for our apartment. She's a new member and really could use the work. So I told her in my broken Spanish to maybe get a soft print of neutral colors with a little pop of orange. We looked at the clock...Like this? Si! Of course the missionaries were helping interpret what I wanted and they're young and clueless and color blind. :) Well, it pops alright! Just another reminder we're in the Caribbean! And a very good thing I like orange! They are sheer so lots of light comes through...and you know I love light!
