Week 55 : Wedding Bells (May 4, 2015)

This week was pretty awesome.  It was hard, but we saw a lot of miracles.  There are a few investigatores that we have been working with for a while without any progress and they finally made progress this week :D  One is Edgar.  He so funny.  Typical Dominican accent (R´s are L´s and vise versa).  So he says his name Edgal.  He works in a barber shop and has a bunch of tattoos and ear piercings.  His buddy was actually a reference, but we ended up teaching him instead.  We´ve been teaching him for a while now and thought about dropping him quite a few times, but we taught him about the Book or Mormon and the new time we went back he told us that we knew that Jose Smith was a profet!!! :)  The battle is now getting him to church.

Jose also has a new baptismal fecha!! It is for the 16th of May.  He is so ready.  I couldn´t be more excited!

Another big news.  Heidy and Melvin are going to get married :)   We set a baptism fecha with Heidy for the 23rd of May and then said, ¨Ahh, but that means you have to get married.¨ Melvin in the past hasn´t wanteed to get married.  We asked him, ¨Melvin, do you want to marry Heidy?¨ He got the cheesiest smile on his face and just wiggled his eyebrows haha!!! They are soooo cute!! Then we said, ¨Well that means you have to propose...¨ He got so embarrassed so the point where he made Hna Jones and I put our faces behind a pillow as he got down on one knee and said, ¨Mi amor, ¿quieres casarte con migo?¨ :D  It was soooo cute!!! They were both grinning from ear to ear when we left.  I´m so flippen excited for their wedding.  I seriously love this family soooo much!! :D

Something really funny happened this week.  Hna Jones and I were making our way back home one night when we got stopped my this guy who speaks fluent english.  He looked really rough, like a bum on the street with missing teeth and scragly clothes.  I´m not sure if he was drunk, or if he was just crazy.  We´ve seen him before. Last time he basically bowed down to us and said, ¨God bless yourself.  God bless your wholeself.¨ haha he´s weird.  But this time he said he had a question for us.  When we turned around he said, ¨You guys are really pretty.  Really pretty.  Do you have husbands?¨ The first thing out of my mouth was, ¨Yes, we do.¨ And my companion echoed, ¨Yeah... we do...¨ Then he said, ¨Wow, how long have you been married?¨ Me: ¨ahh, about a year..¨ My comp: ¨yeah... a year...¨ The dude: ¨Ohh, ok.  Where are you husbands?¨ Me: ¨Ah, they´re not here.¨ My comp:  ¨yeah, not here...¨ The dude: ¨Oh well he should be watching you because someone could eat you... EAT YOU!!¨ Bahaha!!  He was like 1 1/2 feet away from my face as he said that last part.  We just both died laughing and walked away.  Ooohh it was soo funny.  The DR has some pretty crazy people! haha but I love it :] 

Love you all.

Love, Hermana Perry
