Simply,
the work continues! We are working for all our new converts to head to
the temple by the end of the month. I soak up the hour we have in
Sacrament meeting, to see the new converts bless the sacrament, pass the
sacrament, bear their testimonies, and get callings. I have been very
blessed to hang out here in Papeari for 6 months and see the light of
Christ seep into the converts' lives.
It's fun being involved in the stake and having interviews with our champion stake president, President Tupai.
We've got a member who really wants us to do lessons with
a certain ami. When we got over to her house, the ami starts telling
us that she hears children playing and then their parents get mad at
them and they run over to her house. When they come over they always
hide up in the ceiling or under the house. That's when we realized that
she not talking about real children, **sigh*, and she can't come to
church because
she'll be tracked down and hit with rocks, by.... you guessed it. The imaginary people :/
We're working out some false doctrine in the ward.
Our
Potential Baptism, Matira, (17yrs) got too nervous about baptism that
she asked to stop the lessons. The Second, Elodie, (20yrs) is preparing
to tell her parents that she knows she should get baptized, she knows
they'll do their best to stop her. The third, Christina (20yrs) is still
in the world with her inactive member boyfriend, she really loves
reading the Book of Mormon though and has the plan to get married in the
temple *one day!! haha ahh, I thought I was good at procrastination in
High School, well our amis are professional procrastinators lol.
It's
the political season here, so everyone drives by with their massive
party flags and drives down the jungle roads yelling political
propaganda in a megaphone in Tahitian. Maybe if the church took the same
approach..., we'd probably just have a lot more enemies haha
I love you guys!
