I hope everyone's week was great, and that everything at home is going well. I would like to take a moment to give a special shoutout to my Green Bay Packers and their undefeated season so far, and know my boys out in Green Bay will keep going strong. hahaha Anyways this week was just an awesome week. For those of you who don't know week 11 of the 12 week training program, the person who is being trained leads everything in the area including lessons. So wow ya it was a fun experience to say the least. haha But nonetheless we still saw amazing blessings in our area, which we have been so grateful and know that if we work hard that we will keep receiving those blessings.
The goal for this week was getting people to commit to baptismal dates, and we did it! 5 people accepted a date to be baptized in these next coming months which was so awesome! And we should have 3 more this week! It's been so awesome this week, we have went into lessons ready to follow the spirit and have been so blessed for it.
Tuesday we went up to Lautoka for a district leader meeting for elder childers. So me and the 4 missionaries who aren't district leaders, went over to this grassy park literally like 5 feet from the ocean, and did studies, So that was way awesome.
Thursday was a crazy day. Our first lesson of the day we just had a goat walk right through the lesson, and no one seemed to even flinch... haha only in Fiji... haha But we then went to pick up a 16 year old kid to go to some lessons with us. When we were almost there we noticed we couldn't see their house , and when we rolled up, what was left of their small house was just a smoking pile of tin.... Wow it was so sad. Somehow during cooking their house had caught fire and burned down. It was the saddest thing ever. Now a family of 8 kids, who were living in a very small two room wood and tin hut, were now living in a tent made out of a tarp. Just absolutely gut wrenching. We came back later that week and taught them a great lesson The spirit was just so strong in that small tent. Now the ward has rallied together, and they have built a more sturdy temporary shelter which has been good!
Sunday was a great day. Early in the week we had found a way golden investigator who just asked us to give him the lessons which never happens. hahah He is 20 years old just like us and he is the best. But anyways we were sitting in sacrament meeting and we looked out the window and saw him walking up!!! He had walked from so far by himself to be at church! We are so excited for him and all of our other wonderful investigators.
Well those are the highlights for this week. We have transfers coming up this week and I'm nervous because I really don't want to leave, but I know wherever the Lord puts me will be great! I love this work so much and I know more and more every day that this church is true. I love you all! Have a great week!
