The Poly elders tried to April Fool's us. We're obviously too smart for that! ;) They told us that Jeffery R. Holland was going to come to our Zone Council Meeting, on Friday. They were super bummed that we didn't fall for it. hehhe. Also the elders made Tongan juice for lunch on Saturday after the morning session of General Conference. Holy crap, so gooooood.
A member bought our Subway sandwiches on Saturday, after the morning session of general conference. It was so sweet, and completely unexpected!!!!
I'm pretty much a Kinaki professional. I got paid 8 cents. Not really of course, I just found a bunch of money on my way to the field. "Hm....I like this park, we should come here more often". I also made a sweet basketball shot! #nothin'butnet
"Sisters I'm literally too tired to drive."-Me kidding around with the sisters. "You are the only one who CAN drive, so suck it up, and stay awake."-Davis. Hahaha. So much sass. We've been driving the YSA sisters, because the sister that drives had her license expire. They ride their bikes.... They cover the whole stake... So when we can, we help them out.
We had quite a few of the youth come out with us this week. It was so awesome. One of the youth, Edith, is probably one of the most amazing member missionaries I have ever met. "My goal is to see that man and his family baptized. I will contact the missionaries when you leave and tell them that I'm going out with them." She was less active for a while, and now she's building her testimony, and coming back to church. That's probably the best part of my mission so far. I've seen so many of my less active sisters and brothers come back to the loving arms of our Savior!!!!
I love love love street contacting!!!! I had so many cool experience this week!! One guy told us that we were angels on the Lord's errand, and another one thanked us for doing the Lord's work. Then on Saturday, as we were leaving a note for someone who did not show up for his appointment with us. I noticed a man walking by and he looked kind of down. As he walked by, I had the unmistakable impression that we needed to talk to him. I said hi, and walked right over, and started a conversation. He was super busy and on his way, but he agreed to watch Because He Lives. As he walked away, he looked over his shoulder and sincerely said, "Thank you so much. I really needed this today. I really will check out the video when I get home". It was so cool!
My recent convert Cristian started talking about his mission plans at dinner last Friday !! His dad, Jose, was beaming with pride!!!! I love them so much!
I'm so grateful that the Lord trusted me enough to come to North! I have learned so much, grown, and found my strengths and weaknesses. I have so much love for the people here!!!! It was hard the first couple of weeks, but I could not imagine not having had these experiences to shape me!!!! I hope to have at least another 6 amazing weeks here! :)
Hope y'all had an amazing Easter!!!!! Remember Because He Lives we too can live. Because He loves us He gave His life. He suffered, so we would never have to suffer alone. He is the gift. He is our Savior. I don't know about y'all but General Conference changed my life. Both for my present life, and my life after my mission. I loved President Eyring's talk on Fasting!!! I can't wait to apply his council! L. WHitney Clayton's talk was amazing too!!! #hope #courage #light
I love y'all!!! Have an amazing week!!!! :) I pray for you every single day!!! Remember that our Heavenly Father loves you!!!!!!!
