Talofa lava friends and family!
This week has been great! We've been so flat out it's crazy, but it's great to be busy as a missionary!
Jemma is still doing pretty good. We stopped by this week and taught her and one of her daughters about faith. Last we heard a couple days ago it had almost been a week since she last smoked, which is really great progress!
We picked up a few new investigators this week as well. One is Tish, an Aussie lady Sister Rhodes and her last comp tracted into. She grew up Catholic, but thinks that church is really boring and also told us that she doesn't necessarily agree with everything the Bible says. Another one is Vin, a nine year old Sri Lankan boy. We tracted into their house and his mum answered the door. They are Hindu so she wasn't really interested, but Vin really wants to learn more about Jesus Christ so his mum told us we could come in and teach him. Another new investigator this week is Elisa. She is an Aussie lady who the Sisters tracted into almost a year ago. Her sister recently joined the church as well, but she told us that she doesn't really want to go anymore which is sad. Elisa is lovely though and really wants to learn more about the Bible and the Book of Mormon. Our last new investigator this week is Trinice. On Tuesday night one of our appointments fell through so we went over to their house with the stake president's daughter who had gotten home from her mission in Sydney the same day. Trinice is from a less active Samoan family and is the oldest of the four kids. She is nine now and really wants to be baptized, but the parents haven't gotten around to it yet because they don't have a strong desire to go to our ward. Luckily her mum is willing to let us teach her and hopefully prepare her for baptism soon.
Last cool thing that happened this week. So one of the families in our ward called us up on Friday wanting us to come over for dinner on Saturday with them and their non-member neighbors who were getting ready to move soon. Everything ended up working out with our scheduling, so we went over for dinner and to share a message with the family and their neighbors. We were stressing out before because we didn't know what to share, but we ended up getting to share a good message about prophets and general conference. I know it was a good seed that we were able to plant and I really hope that they watch general conference. I am grateful for a living prophet on the earth today and I know that Heavenly Father continues to lead and guide the church.
Love yous!
