The Obstacle Called MARRIAGE

Hi!

This week I  don't have a lot of time to write. It is Easter and on holidays everything closes here.

This last Sunday we had a new investigator family come to church for the first time. We are getting so many new investigators and almost all of them come to church. It is great. The only sad thing is that they all need to be married in order to be baptized. It is great that they are diligent and coming to church, it is just sad when we give them the goal of being baptized and the obstacle of legal marriage just stops them. Our 3 baptisms that were scheduled for this week were pushed back because they weren't quite ready.  The day before the interview he told us that he wasn't legally married.  He kind of lied to us earlier because he really wanted to be baptized.  Good thing he told us, because that would have been bad finding our after the baptism that he wasn't legally married yet.  We are starting to build a plan to help all of theses people get married as soon as possible.

Remember when the water heater exploded and flooded our house... This time it was the washing machine... The house flooded again and we had to stay up all night mopping and scooping water into the shower. That was a couple of days ago.  We are in the process of getting a new house. We have been moving stuff, but it still isn't ready to live in yet.  We will be installing water filters soon and then getting furniture.  By the next transfer we should be completely moved in.  Hopefully we will be sleeping there by next week.

Elder Shelby and I went to a soiree (dinner) at a member's house on Saturday and they fed us Shark. It tastes like regular fish with no bones. It's pretty good.  Today were are having a picnic at the beach and fishing with some cool investigators and missionaries.

That is all I have for this week.
Sincerely,
Elder Allen
