Most of the week was spent going around and collecting food from members who wanted to feed us for the holidays! People "House Hop" here. So for the Holidays, almost every one makes tons of food for people to come and eat or to take home. So people will just go from house to house collecting food to take home and everyone is okay with it! So that's what we did!!
We started to teach Island again because she finally got married and now we are teaching her husband! They are both are really interested in the gospel and changing their lives! We are hoping that they will be baptized in the next few weeks because Island finally came to church!! We took some old hand me down clothes to them and they finally came!! It was amazing to see them there! They were fellow shipped amazingly!
Alright now time for the crazy story!
So on New Year's Eve at the Sinea's they were having a party. Not all of them are members of the church so there was Alcohol and smoking going on.Anyways, one of the guys in the yard is like my best friend! His name is Rambo and He is awesome! I haven't had the opportunity to share the gospel with him yet because every time we go over his has already had some beer and smoked a little and I want to share it with him when he is not under the influence of the drugs and alcohol. Anyways, so they were out side singing and dancing and all that stuff when a shooter came into the yard and fired off about 7 shots or so into the party. One of them hit Rambo in his right forearm and another one hit another guy in the inner thigh! This all happened around 12:30 am so we were home in bed. We show up to the Sinea's to help Mark Sinea, the former Jamaica Kingston Missionary, sand and prime his room so he could paint it. He get there and he tells us this whole story. The bullet went straight through with out hitting any bone or anything so he isn't too bad but he is still in a lot of pain!
I hope every one had a safer Holiday Season than the Sinea Yard did! Love you All!!
