Ia ora na!
It's been another great week... in spite of another round of
sickness. This time it was just a flu virus for both Elder Duncan and I. We
kicked it's butt. Took us out momentarily but not enough to keep our hopes
down. We had some great experiences this week and Elder Duncan and I are more
unified than ever before, we've been starting to teach super well together! And
to add to that I've started exercising again in the morning to keep me nice and
in shape for the biking that we do. It's such a good start to the day and it
makes life so much more beautiful!
Because of our sicknesses, and because of their work
schedules, we didn't really have the chance to see C-- and K-this
week, but C--was able to come to church, and we had a quick lesson with
him on the Holy Ghost. He talked about how whenever he reads he feels God's
presence, so all he ever wants to do is reads the scriptures... then he testifies
to us how he knows that the Book of Mormon is true, and he just starts crying!
Such a sweet, powerful moment, and the Holy Ghost did it's job.
Things are still going well with T-- and T--. My love
for this family is truly starting to grow, and they've been super good with
reading the Book of Mormon. We just pray that the Holy Ghost will touch their
hearts and tell them that all these things are true. Apart from the lessons
that we do, we have a really good relationship as well. From the start we
managed to break the ice with them super well and we were laughing and joking
with them. They always offer that we eat with them, and they even took us home
after their lesson with them in their truck. Such and AWESOME family, I want
the best for them!
This week our DMP found a house for us on the other side of
the island! We were stoked, so we went over to check it out... such a beautiful
house, right next to the ocean, smack dab in the middle of our area... but it's
3 bedrooms, and 1200 bucks a month. We called President Bize praying that it
would be good, and when we explained it to him I could tell that he was shaking
his head. He told us to find another one... go figure. That house is probably
best with another family anyway. Today another member called offering us a
house a little smaller in the same neighborhood, so we might go check that one
out today. God's starting to be a little merciful to us!
Things are going well, my outlook on the work this week was
bright, and I have a lot of hope and love for the future. Don't stop praying for
us! I love you all and have a great week.
Elder Ball
