Ia ora na tatou!
We were blessed this week with some good experiences. The
first would probably have to be with T---. We've been teaching him ever since
we found him, and we've been going really slow with him since he has a really
hard time understanding the scriptures, and some times we have to go over some
of the same principles as before so that the can remember them. He makes such
an effort and he's made so much progress, but he hadn't yet accepted baptism or
come to church. This week was a milestone! We read in 3 Nephi 11 about baptism
with him, and he understood then just how important baptism is for him. He
accepted to be baptized this month! Then yesterday he made it to church with a
member! Awesome progress! During the coming weeks we just gotta make sure he's
all ready and he'll be down there in the water.We pray that he'll be able to
overcome all temptation!
T---- and T---- progress well! T---'s been coming to
church, but T--- hasn't really made the effort yet, it's been years since he's
been to any church! But Saturday there was a baptismal service for the Vaitape
ward, and we had already invited them to come. The day of the service, Elder Duncan
and I planned to ask them for a ride back to the other side to the chapel with
us as a way of making sure they wouldn't miss out on this spiritual moment ;)
T---- wasn't really planning on going, but luckily when we asked for a ride he
accepted to go as well! He and T---- had a good experience at the baptism and
they enjoyed it. We're glad they came as well!
The weeks keep passing by, there really isn't much time left
for me huh? I'll be sad to leave my island home, but I am looking forward to
seeing all your faces again. For now Ill be working hard until the end, no
worries. I love you all, until next week!
