ALOHA!
This week was
really really wonderful. So much happened! Here, let me tell you about it:
- This
week we met with Savannah &Shanaia (the two girls I mentioned last
week) and their mom sat in on the lesson. Then, something interesting
happened.. we found out that Savannah and her older brother Toni are
already members. So, we had to find their records and everything. The mom
softened up a lot though, last time we were there, and said she would come
to church with them this week. Kind of a huge miracle, if you ask me. :)
- Trisha,
the investigator that is a heavy smoker, came to church again and
committed to a date. She is going to be baptized on June 5th. I really
feel good about that date, because we had her choose it and pray
about it. She is so excited to reach that goal. I know that she will hit
it, if she continues to keep her commitments to Heavenly Father.
- There
is a woman that just moved into our ward and she is super inactive. So, we
went to find her. However, the address that we had for her was kind of
non-existent... So, we decided to try the house number that was closest to
the one we had for her. There were some guys in front of the house, and
they were like, "Are you looking for someone?'' So we told him,
"Yes. Is there a Robin that
lives here?" and he said,
"Yes. Up those stairs." So
we walked up the stairs and knocked on the door. A little boy answered the door
and we asked him if his mom was home and he said no. So then we asked if there
is a Robin that lives there and he said yeah. Then Robin came to the door....It
was a guy... yeah. So, we asked if we could come back and share the gospel with
their family and they said yes. Super crazy! Two Robins!
Anywho....
4. We had zone conference and got the Tiwi system installed in our car.
Basically, it is a little black box that sits on the left hand corner of your
windshield and yells at you if you drive bad. Luckily, I haven't been yelled at
yet....
5. The General Women's Broadcast! It was really wonderful!!! I learned so
much. I wish some of our investigators would have been able to go. Hopefully
they will be able to go to both sessions of General Conference.
Well, that's all I have
time for today. I am so excited for General Conference! I know that it is going
to help a lot of our investigators and myself. I hope you are all doing great!
I love you all!!
Love, Sister Barber
Hi Sister Barber, we haven't met but I was Denver's Bishop when he was a Priest. My wife and I are currently serving a,Church Service Mission on the Big Island assigned to the newly created,YSA Branch and teaching Institute in Kona. I've told Denver I'd keep my eyes open for you if you're ever transfered here. We serve with Elder and Sister Dickamore who are terrific. Enjoy your mission cause you'll never have this experience again in this life. Take care and go get um . :) :)
