With the village sign in Fagaloa (none of those here in Tutuila)
Taaaalofa!
Fast food count for you all...McDonalds twice and Carl's Jr.
twice. (mom says gross!)
This week was good! We met a lot of people that we
hope can turn into good investigators. On Wednesday we just knocked an
apartment complex. First time I ever did something like that and it was sooo
weird. Out of probably 15 houses, one person said we could come back. We did a
lesson with her on Friday and it went really well. She is really interested in
the church and said she's going to read the Book of Mormon and come with questions
for next time. She can't come to church because she had a baby that was 2 months
premature. It was so little.
On Thursday we had a lesson with our investigator who has
been coming to church. He's progressing really well. He is a little hesitant to
accept a baptismal date but it's okay. We just need to be patient. I've just been
thinking about our family and how everyone didn't join or come back all at the
same time or right away so it's helped me to have a better perspective of his
progression. I'm totally okay with the fact that he might not get baptized while
I'm here. I know that as long as he's coming to church every Sunday, reading the
BoM, and praying, he's going to get his answer eventually. We had a good
lesson with them on Sunday at church as well. We just talked about the Holy
Ghost and his role. He also shared a cool personal experience with us.
Our investigator referred us to his friend who is less
active and whose wife isn't baptized. We met with them on Saturday and it went
well. The wife is really interested in the church and I know if we get the dad
coming back to church, they can strengthen each other. He also talked about his
weaknesses with the Word of Wisdom and we shared with him Ether 12:27- "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness.
I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient
for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves
before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong
unto them." It was a good lesson!
Sorry I haven't taken many pictures.
There isn't really much to take pictures of... (mom certainly disagrees! Everything would be interesting to us!)
This was from the boat ride over
