I don't have heaps of time to write but I just wanted
to share one great story with you guys of what I consider a miracle. So last
transfer me and my old companion were proselyting and we talked to this guy,
just a quick "Hello. How are you?" type thing and we thought he was kind of off but
we never thought anything of it. So the next week we were in the same village talking to some members and they told us that the guy we had talked to was so
excited that we speak Fijian because he thought we only spoke English and that
he wanted to join our church. They also told us that he is completely deaf....
that's why our convo was a bit off with him. There was no way I was going to let
this opportunity pass but we wondered how in the world we were going to be able
to teach him. But we just said a prayer and went anyways. We got there and
found out that he is really good at reading lips however our lips move a bit
different when we speak Fijian compared to natives so he couldn't understand us
very well. So anyways after a few weeks of thinking as hard as we could me and
my comp came up with a new strategy to teach him. SO what we did is we brought
a white board and a dry erase marker into the lessons and then our whole lesson
written on strips of paper. So what we do is we just give him one strip of
paper at a time to teach him and then use the whiteboard to say anything that
we feel the spirit prompting us to say. Not going to lie our lessons were
pretty rough at first trying to get used to teach on a whiteboard but after
some adjusting and way too many prayers we found some great success. He
has now received the first 3 lessons, reads the Book of Mormon everyday, and
wants to be baptized this month. GUYS I don't know what else to say besides this
church is so true. It is able to bless every single persons life on this earth,
and I just love to be able to share it to all the world. I love you all! Have a
great week!
Me and Elder Giacalone in the car. In other news we actually
hit a goat head on yesterday. Pretty freaking crazy... hahaha
And me crying with happiness because the Elders brought
Burger King for me and my comp up to the north for zone conference.
And this is us showing off our smooth legs. Elder Halbert
always waxes his legs so I decided to give it a try and before you know it we
all pretty much did it. Lol I'm not really sure why I did it and I still feel a
bit weird about it but hey my legs are smooth. hahah Don't judge me
