Lo'u Aiga,
Tausili
was baptized on Saturday, received the holy ghost and the priesthood on
Sunday!!! It was so amazing!! I couldn't have been happier... well
actually if our building was warmer I would've been a little happier ;)
it was wicked cold in there!!! We had the water piping hot but Tausili
said by the time he got to it an hour later it was freezing!! Poor
guy...
It
was 0 degrees this morning when we tried to wash the car... That was
fun!! We used the water to melt all of the frosty ice of the car!! New
Zealanders are kinda of panicking abut how cold it is right now!!
BAHAHA!!!
We found out on Sunday that Taua can't be
baptized on the 20th.. They waited to long to pay a fine for the divorce
papers... they are planning to pay it on Thursday and then they can't
get married for 28 days... *headaches*.. hopefully we will re-set her
this week and get her another date. She came to church but I didn't
count her as progressing AGAIN last week... hopefully this week will be
better!!
My Soa invited another new investigator of ours to
be baptized! His name is Iona (which mean Jonah)! He accepted but is
concerned that he has word of wisdom problems!! Oh man I almost started
crying right there, I was so happy!! Someone that knew their
inadequacies but wants to change!! I told him not to worry, we were
going to help him build his faith and when the time comes to stop those
things he can use his faith and the Lord will help him!!
We
have another new investigator who also seems pretty keen! She ran away
from Sister Puaina and I a few months ago, but seems open to us now!
They came to our missionary class on Sunday and said she'd like to join
the church some day... My thoughts: "yup no worries! we got you
covered!" Her name is Tilomai. AND Maria always come to church, her
uncle is the ward secretary, and she told us she loves the way it makes
her feel but she "wants to figure it out" for herself first before she
has lessons... BAHAHA She will be baptized one day I can feel it! Just
in her own time!
Basically this area is on the verge of another baptism even though we don't have anyone set right now! It makes me so happy!! :)
Hope everyone is doing well this week!! Love you all lots!!
Alofa tele atu!
Sista Peo
Oh
the other picture... I thought I'd be a really cool trainer and that
we'd do our 12 week training (for new missionaries) by the beach!!
FAIL!!!! My poor Samoan was freezing to death and there was a GIANT DEAD
CAT that someone put by the trashcan!! LOL... only in south Auckland!!!
