Man this week was a blast. We had some super cool stuff
happen. We were eating dinner with a member Friday night and, as
missionaries always do, we asked her if there was any of her friends
that we could teach. She gave us a family to go by and agreed that she
would come with. We went over Saturday morning and taught the family
about the Book of Mormon. After that Sister Betham (the member) wanted
us to go by another family that she knew. So then we went by her
and taught her the first lesson. We set times to return to both of the
families we taught. It was a great experience. Later that night our ward
mission leader had us over for dinner. He invited his friends who have
been taking the lessons and after we ate dinner we taught them a lesson.
Their names are Tony and Ta'i. At the end of talking with them Tony
wanted to be baptized immediately but because of a situation with en ex
wife in Samoa who isn't legally officially an ex wife, we need to wait.
Tony was bummed and with a sad look he asked, "How long is it going to
take? 4 months? Longer?" His look of despair left as we told him that if
everything was resolved we could have him baptized sooner than 4
months or longer. He was overjoyed at the idea of not having to
wait that long to be baptized. It was so cool to see his faith in
action. Meanwhile Ta'i sat next to him and talked about how she knows the
church is true and that she finally understands what people mean when
they say in testimony meeting that they know the church is true.
Also I've been learning more and more Samoan. We
have a nice MTC textbook from the 80's or 90's. Sweet. I even have been
given a Samoan last name. Because Sanderson is too hard for them to say,
that's why.
Anywho, I love each and every one of you. Keep it realer than you have ever kept it.
Fa Soifua!
