September 24th - update

WOW! Seems like it has been raining a lot here. Also, Grenada had 4 baptisms this week!!! Aw man, all of them are solid members! i got to interveiw another young man in Grenville. It is wonderful to take part in responsibilities like that.
I had the chance to perform the baptism for a good friend of mine"Rendel Taitt" We play Basket ball together. He was so excited for his baptism!
Right after he came up out of the water, he put his hands up... And said ; "I DID IT!" He had the biggest smile.

We had an intense service project. elder Kujanpää, a member, and I  moved 400 cement blocks!!!! Are hands were shredded! Our arms were dead, and the people we helped were even more grateful. We are teaching "Franklin & Synthia" they have a wonderful family.

We had another service  project cutting bush with our cutlass in the pouring rain. I found a cool looking snake. I picked up too! XD
 
Well, I got a long, crazy, and random story for you all.
yesterday, after church, We came home to find our  neighbor (A very old man) knocking at our door. he needed some help, so we put on some flip flops cause we were about to eat lunch anyways.... So, We helped this man lift a big barrel into his car. It was full of donations fro the people suffering in Dominica. After that, he asked us to come with him to unload it, well, we did and we got in this car and drove into town. Well he didnt know where to drop it off, so he called a friend and drove to a spot to meet him. We got to the marina (Where all of the big, expensive yachts are) and met a random guy. Well, he got out to follow him and meet another guy down at the dock. We followed cause we didnt want to stay in the car. We get to the dock and began to walk all of the way out onto it. Well, as we walked, we looked at all of the nice ships nearby. They are SUPER nice! The old man got onto one of the yachts and began to talk with some random guy who owned the ship. Well, we stood on the dock and were clueless of what we should do. So, we stood there and admired all of the pretty boats. When all of the sudden, and storm showed up and it began to rain. The captain, shouted at us to get on! "We come on the ship?" Then he said: "Yeah, come aboard the ship". So we did. We sat there on this super super nice yacht and sheltered from the pouring rain. Well, 30 min. later, We shook everyone's hand and left with the old man. We felt strangely out of place. But every one on the boat was nice.
So we drove to the big shipping yard and drove right up to the place where they drop the big shipping containers! There was a cargo ship there at the time, and next to it, was the boat where we dropped off the barrel... FINALLY! Well he drove us back and thanked us. This whole time, we were gone for 2 hours! So that messed up our day.... But hey, Things like this happen all of the time!

So many things to say in so little time.
I love and miss you all! i love hearing how everyone is doing!
Take care!
