Rainy Day in Antigua

Hello!!
Everything is good in Antigua. Were pretty much starting over with investigators, but we have some really good potentials coming up this week. One who we contacted the other day on the street, he said he hasnt been to church in a while and had some questions about God and everything. We answered them and it was awesome, because he understood and then my companion told him of the story of Joseph Smith and you could tell he was listening intently. We gave him a Book of Mormon and we have an appointment with him this weekend. Its interesting how some people grow up in a church and then they find out its a false church and just automatically cancel out all the other churches. So, sunday was our first day in our new building. It has been 10 years since they had first bought the land, so there has been some anticipation. We had a 2 hour testimony meeting, (first time i had that!) But it was good, but the worst part was this one dude who was a Seventh Day Adventist who came and bore his "testimony." Mostly just preaching how it doesnt matter what church you go to just as long as you believe in John 3:16 (and he quoted it wrong). So the spirit was sucked right out of there, because there was no truth to that, the spirit only bears testimony of truth. But then one brother got up there and bore his testimony of the first vision and how this is the only church with the saving ordinances. So it was interesting. Then yesterday it was an eventful day, not very successful but it was fun. We had a tropical wave come through and it rained all day straight, pretty much with out stopping. In the morning i had the only umbrella and when we were going back to the apartment for lunch we were huddled under the one umbrella, because my comp didnt have one. So, we walked like a mile in this massive storm of rain and there were like rivers running through the streets and stuff, it was crazy and when we got back we were soaking wet. So all is well here, you can send pictures over email cause its faster. Hope you had fun in Disney land!!! Please forward this to jordan!
