Okay honestly from an outside perspective, it is not raining
anything miraculous in our area, but to Sister Vete and I, we are getting
DRETCHED out here people! Like holy cow i'm turning that umbrella upside down
just trying to catch them all!
Here is why-
Sister Vete is running every morming with me for 30 minutes
and she loves it and I don't think she ever ran in her life before now.
We found some very promising new investigators in a ward
that everyone told us is just a sea of in-actives. One is Ma'u. She is married
to an in-active, and she is really young, but SO smart and asks many good
questions. She couldn't even wait til we left to start reading the Book of
Mormon. Another is Pumu and she is about 17, but she come from a family that
hates the church. However we taught her the plan of salvation and I could
almost see the lightbulb illuminate in her mind. She has great faith already
and we are working toward May 6th for her baptism.
Uailupe, a long-time investigator is going to the temple
with us on Wednesday for a tour! She previously told us she will NEVER get
baptized, but she is changing her mind i think :).
Heavenly father is literally placing people in our path.
Like Paula. Paula is this ex-con who used to live in America and he is this hug
dude who has 1 eye and we were looking for him the other day and couldn't find
him. He was avoiding us.then we went to a different house nearby. at the very
moment we left that house, he comes walking out of the bush--- literally out of
the bush and he is like- "HOW did you guys find me?" Then he turned
around and started to run away, but he was just kidding and he was drunk, so he
came back and we arranged a time to meet with him. that story is to be
cont'nd.
We had very sweet experiences with members doing our 40 day
fast and members giving us HUGE potatoe things called ufi at their harvest
celebrations.
We even have 2 couples who want us to name their babies! One
of them is Kulisi (who got baptized last month) and his wife.
I know these miracles are coming because of a lot of
faithful prayers and the members who are fasting for the missionary work in
Fo'ui (one of our wards). Here is my Poderizing scripture for this week- I am
trying to make my prayers more like Enos' prayers. Enos 1:4. I give you all the
same challenge.
The end. LOVE YOU ALL!!!
