Family!
Really not too much to
report this week. I got pretty sick during the first part of the
week. I got over it pretty quick, but for most of the rest of the week I
had no appetite. That normally wouldn't be a huge problem, but we get fed
by people pretty often, and most of them get offended if you don't eat at least
two servings, so I had a constant feeling of being way too full for most of the
week. But I guess having too much to eat isn't the worst problem I could
have...
In response to me
being sick, I received a few mystical Hispanic cures. One was by a
Pentecostal man we're teaching who believes he has a mighty gift of
healing. He got me a shot glass, poured in some apple cider vinegar,
mixed in some water, then had me drink it. Then he pushed on my stomach
and told the sickness to leave... Another family gave me four teaspoons
of olive oil to drink. I also got some super thick Dominican cough syrup
even though I didn't have a cough...
We made empanadas with
some members this week, I'll send you some pictures.
Other than that it was
a pretty average week. One of our investigators believes the church is
true, and he wants to be baptized, but he just can't give up smoking.
We've tried everything, but he just hasn't been able to give it up. Well
he finally started coming back to church last week, and yesterday during
priesthood we all introduced ourselves and he said "My name's Jose, I'm
Dominican, I'm coming to the church because I know it's true, and hopefully
soon I'll be baptized."! Yeah Jose! So we're working with him
on that.
Hope everything keeps
going well out there!
Love,
Elder Foote
