Well, they happened! We had two baptisms this weekend on Saturday morning before conference. The baptisms were done in the ocean near by, and we had a great attendance to the service. Because of conference, they were later confirmed at the end of the service after we had returned to the church. So, Br. Bernard and Br. Mohammed are now the newest members of Point Fortin, and they will both be really great contributors, we really need priesthood down here, so they will be great!
A really cool story about Br. Bernard and how much Satan tries to keep people back. So a huge struggle for him is he is currently un employed and has been for some time. He is a qualified welder but can't find work. To support the family his wife (a member for 5 years) is doing double shifts as a nurse in a near by town. He really wants a job, and has been applying and giving out resumes everywhere and getting no reply. Well, after he had passed the interview, Friday night he gets a call from a guy offering him a chance to take a welding test Saturdaymorning for a job. He finally got an opportunity to get work, the SAME DAY as his planned baptism. He thankfully made the amazing decision, which I respect him hugely for, or getting baptized and putting his trust in the Lord that he would provide him a better job. Faith!
Last night we were walking and a giant rat was running along the sidewalk by us and so what did we do? We kicked it! So, I got to watch my companion kick a really confused rat that was dumb enough to run by us. I had to stick that in there for fun!

Another cool story with creatures is we found some cayman alligators in a trench/stream and when we were taking pics of all the baby ones on the trash (yucky) we saw a much larger head from mommy alligator. So, we pelted some rocks near it to see what it would do, and it like leaped from the water at a leaf from a tree by it. It was like something from planet earth or a documentary, and we didn't get it filmed. :( Powerful animals, even though the mom was probably only like 3 to 4 feet long.
Another weird thing that happened is I am now emailing at the church. Our email shop just had its power turned off while we were emailing. The electric company came and shut it off for lack of payment. So, really funny how that happened when we were there. We had enough advance notice to eject our USBs and close our accounts at least, which was nice.
That's all that really happened this week. Our teaching pool is down to like 2 people cause we have either dropped or baptized all of them, (dropped mostly) so now this week will be a lot of finding. we also have our zone meeting, and zone conference this week, which will be great, cause we will learn a lot, and I wont have to teach District Meeting. That's not too hard anyways, I ran out of time last week actually in my lesson. Things are great here in Point! loving it here!
