Ia Ora Na tout le monde!
I hope y'all are doing great. Life
is still the same in Mahina and I’m doing great.
Soeur Terooatea is at her 10th week
of her training so that means the transfer could come soon. AHHHHH I don’t want
to be transferred. We're really just starting to get going here at Mahina!
So y'all remember Heinono? She
called us this past week to confirm our lesson that day and she said hey, “I
have good news for yall!” My heart stopped for a second and then she said, “I
chose my date! I chose my baptismal date!”
I was like, “oh yeah? When?” (In my head I’m thinking please, please,
please, don’t be for like December or really far) She said, “Saturday!! Next
Saturday!!”
I’ve never been so happy on the
phone. We had a little party after we hung up because FINALLY Heinono is
getting baptized. We've been through a lot with her. I’m so happy. So we have
her baptism this Saturday and I’m excited.
Other than that, we saw one of our
amis, David, and committed him to be baptized at the end of the month. He's a
cool guy but he's definitely interesting. He refers to himself as "The
Ghostrider" and he refers to God as “our Great Father.” He was really
touched when we explained why he needed to be baptized like Jesus Christ and he
told us that he really wanted to be baptized. The only problem is that he lives
with his girlfriend, he smokes, and he has a fear of coming to church because
there are too many people. SO, it will be a miracle if he gets baptized at the
end of the month but we are going to keep working with him and if he doesn’t
get baptized this month, it will sometime soon :)
Wednesday, we had our multi-zone
conference with our new mission president! I’m really excited for President
Bize and for the difference it will be to serve under him. He bore a very
powerful testimony of the Book of Mormon and it was definitely what I and my companion
needed to hear. There are a lot of people with closed minds and hardened hearts
and that was the answer that we needed to know that only the power of the Book
of Mormon will convert them. It was a great conference.
Other than that, we continue to work
with our amis and I’ve really come to love so many members and people
here. It makes me want to never leave... That’s all I’ve got for today, until
next week!
Love yall!!
Soeur Taylor
PS Sorry this week is a short email…next
week will be better! :)
I didn't notice that the pictures were blurry. They looked good in the camera.
We went with our ami Lysiane!
