Here we go! So:
- This week was
challenging, but good. Both Waianae ward and Makaha ward do not have ward
mission leaders at the moment, so it has been a little bit crazy, as far
as our correlation meetings and ward council. We were able to meet with
both bishops, however, so we were able to figure some things out. Both of
the bishops are very hard-working. I am confident that we will all be able
to work together well, so that we can help the work progress in our
areas.
- There is a woman
in our ward who is very missionary minded. Her name is Sister Pa'a'aina
She talks to everyone that she meets about the gospel. She has placed
several Books of Mormon in the area over the 40 something years she has
lived here and she wrote down their names and addresses as well. Sister
Jolley and I were able to get over 40 names from her journals, so we are
going to try to contact as many of them as we can this week. It was
like Christmas all over again!! So wonderful!
- Many of the
people that we have been teaching have not been able to meet with us for a
while, because of things that have come up in their lives. It is amazing
how one week things can be going so well, and then the next week
everything starts to fall apart. We have been praying for our
investigators though, and I know that Heavenly Father is looking out for
them. We just need to do all that we can, and then trust Heavenly
Father.
- On Sunday, during fast
and testimony meeting, one of our recent converts got up and bore his
testimony on prayer. He is 9 years old. He told a story about how he had
to pray that their car wouldn't get taken away, and it worked. It was so
sweet! Everyone in the chapel could feel the spirit, I am sure! Kanita was
going to bear her testimony, but I don't think that she expected the time
to go by so quickly, so she missed her chance for this month. I hope she
will get up next month though.
I am so happy! Seriously! I love the work here! It has been
hard, but that has just made me appreciate the members and the help that
Heavenly Father gives us every day! Thank you so much for all of your support
and prayers! I love you all and I hope you have a wonderful new year!
Love, Sister B
