4th of July

Well, these past couple weeks we have been really
hammering our ward about coming out on exchanges
with us, even if they don't speak Creole. 
The ward never really seemed to respond.

Well, at this same time, our Ward Mission Leader,
had been praying for a missionary experience. 

Fast forward: 4th of July

We walk into our WML's (ward mission leader)
house to have a barbecue, and
we get talking about how we can help the ward. 
Out of the blue, Br. Bowen (WML) says,
"Hey, my neighbor is haitian."  We were very
surprised because Br. Bowen lives in a very
nice neighborhood.  Well, his neighbor leaves,
so we plan to go over when he returns home. 
About 2 hours later the neighbor returns. 
We walk over to just set up an appointment and
instantly the guy invites us in.  His name is
Patrick, and he is from Petionville, which is
the richest place in Haiti.  And he is golden.

Yesterday we had Fast and Testimony meeting
and Br. Bowen got up and talked about how he
received an answer to his prayer. 

Patrick loved church and later that night we
went to Br. Bowen's house and watched The Restoration.
We invited Patrick to be baptized. He said
yes, but that he wanted to read more in the
Book of Mormon before he was baptized.

This guy is an answer to many prayers.

We should have an amazing week!

I love you all very much,

have a good week

Michael
