But, now for the
exciting news. This week we've had some updates with a family we've been
meeting with for the last little bit. They've known the missionaries
for years but, they told us this week that they would like to be
baptized. We didn't even really invite them they were just like "I want
to be baptized" after we read a chapter out of the Book of Mormon with
them. Half of them even came to church and had a good time with that.
It's been exciting to see this unfold. The Father said he wanted to get
baptized before his spiritual journey which involves sundancing. Which
as far as I know is all good. Note on sundances: There's a few different
kinds of sundances. The common part is they all fast for four days and
then dance in the sun and have visions and whatnot. But, the Sioux
pierce when they sundance and others don't pierce. Which (shout out to
Elder Andrus) the first time I heard about piercing I didn't quite
understand it but, now I understand it's part of sacrifice and by
sacrificing more they get blessed more. So I guess that translates to
piercing pieces of bone into their chest and attaching ropes to them and
something else.
Other than that Elder
Dagenais was just ill all over the place so part of the week was taken
up by that. But, when that was over we made it out to some french
speaking towns again and had a great time out there. I also drew upon my
spirit animal of Elder Peterson and when we found a Filipino family I
said "saan yun pinakamalapit na karaoke" and they just laughed. It was a
good time.
Other than that it's been a good week. Sunday was great. Had a great Sunday. I hope youz have a great week.
