ALOHA!
This week was really good. We were able to see so many people! We
had to go to Mililani to help President and Sister Warner with interviews (we
check area books and planners) and then we had exchanges too, so we were a
little bit worried that it would kind of throw off our week, but we worked
hard, and it paid off! Here are some things that happened this week:
- We had dinner with our bishops
house. Bishop had to work, so it was just his wife, kids and us. It was so
fun. They have some of the cutest kids I have ever seen! Their youngest
son kept saying my name every 5 minutes, and then he would say some random
thing or ask me a random question. Then, on Sunday, he ran up and hugged
me. Then, after our ward correlation meeting with bishop,
he ran up and gave me another hug. I felt so special. Haha he's so
cute!
- We went on exchanges with the
sisters in the Palehua ward. I was with Sister Jenkins in Palehua. She is
an amazing missionary. They just took over Makakilo ward, so we went to
contact some of the less-active members. One of the guys that we went to
see was outside with a cigarette in his mouth. He asked us what we wanted
and if bishop sent us to meet him. We told him that the bishop had not
sent us, but that we were just trying to meet the members in the ward. The
conversation didn't seem to be softening him up too much, but then he
asked us if we would pray for him to find a house, because he was getting
kicked out of his. We said that he would and then Sister Jenkins asked if
she could share a scripture from the Book of Mormon about faith. As she
read the scripture, he began to cry. Then I shared with him that he had
shown great faith by asking us to pray for him, and that he would receive
blessings for that, but that he could also show his faith by praying to
Heavenly Father himself and by going to church. He started crying even
more. Then he told us that he would pray and that he would be there on
Sunday. I love how the spirit can soften the hearts of anyone.
- On Sunday, we had four of
our investigators come to church! The family that I mentioned before, who
has a lot of obstacles in their way came. They said that they really
enjoyed it, and that they want to come next week too. They stayed all three
hours even! Such a miracle!
Well, my hour is almost over, so I can't say too much else, but I hope
that you all have a wonderful week! Thank you again for your prayers and for
your support!
Love, Sister Barber
