I love to see the sea
AAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNDDDDD the excitement is back. Lol lol I
have to say I enjoyed my two weeks of normalcy.
It all started Wednesday evening around 9:45 pm. Sister
Robinson walked into the bathroom and there was a puddle of water on the floor.
She thought one of the jugs of water we store in the bathroom was leaking so
she left it and started showering. All of a sudden she starts yelling that the
bathroom is flooding and the water wont go down the drain. She got out of the
bathroom and from the other sisters bathroom we here this nasty GLUP. When we
looked in both of our bathrooms the floors were flooding and sewage had come up
the shower drain. OH. MY. GOODNESS. Our house smelled so bad! We absolutely
could not stay. So we called a member and stayed at their house for the night.
Our landlord (who lives right next to us) says it happened in her apartment
too. She called a plumber the next morning.
Missionaries and Onise
We spend Thursday morning helping a member clean her house.
She has 7 children and she works so it was nice to be able to help her. We
cleaned dishes and moped floors and even ended up cleaning a maggot invested
mini fridge. It was great.
Children at our window
That same Thursday some one hit our car. Do you see what I
am talking about?? I cannot stay away from the the excitement. We weren't even
in the car when it happened and I didn't even realize it until the next
morning. It is not too bad, but they didn't leave their information so we are
on our own once again.
Roasting my own breadfruit
Saturday afternoon we met with one of our recent converts
Jerome. He was baptized in January and is now the gospel principles teacher. At
the end of the lesson he asked Sister Rob and me if we feel like our service in
the Bahamas makes a difference in our own
lives. It is actually something I have been thinking about a lot lately.
Before my mission my heart was open only to my family and a few close friends.
Oh how my mission has changed that. Especially Nassau. There are so many people
that I love here. People that I really actually care about. I worry about them
and pray for them as much as my people from home. I honestly didn't even know I
was capable of so much love. I feel so blessed that I have been able to learn
so much about the Jamaican and Bahamian (and even Haitian) cultures. I give
thanks to God for allowing these wonderful people to be in my life. My heart is
so full.
Saturday night, GENERAL WOMAN'S MEETING!!! WAHOOOO! Can you
believe conference is coming again. Last conference I was in Ocho Rios with
Sister Thompson. That feels like a lifetime ago. I love the leaders of this
church. So inspired. Sister Robinson about died when they announced that Elder
Uchtdorf would be speaking. She fondly refers to him as oo-ch-dorf. lol lol
Didn't you just love that story of Aunt Rosie. She seems like such a cool lady.
I hope to be like her when I grown up (especially the part about the cat).
Sister Lynn thought of me when she took this picture
We had two investigators at church on Sunday. It was
awesome. One's name is Celson, and he is super unexpected. We actually met him
when Sister Robinson first got here. We had an appointment with him, but he
never showed up. A little over three weeks ago he called us and we started meeting with him.
Since then he has come to church every week and he has a baptismal date for
November 8th. We are praying that all goes well.
Hanging in a member's house
I hope you all have a fabulous conference weekend!
I love you all and think of you often.
Be good and remember who you are
Love,
Sister Tuttle
Big up yu'self
