Moving Forward May25, 2008

So to tell you about the week. We had our trade-off and that went really well. It was a preview of what it'll be like for me at transfers since I'll be holding the area. It was really good we found 2 new investigators that are really good and we've taught since and it went really well. It was just a good day.

Friday during our weekly planning our water broke. (no we aren't pregnant) Since we live in a basement flat our water drains by pump. That broke and now we don't have water. Our sink, toilet, and our shower doesnt' work. So we've stayed at Pinati's flat for the past 3 nights. Man I haven't slept so horrible for a really long time. Him and Auapaau snore really bad. And their flat is just really cold too so that doesn't help much either.

We had a Luau on Saturday which included some talents by some islanders and then a chapel tour and then a feed. It was really good. We didn't have any of our investigators show up but it was still really good. It was a stake thing so there were a lot of people still. The baptism went really well and there was some good ward support and it was just really good.

On Sunday we had two of our investigators come to church and Kukama tought the Gospel Principles class with the mum while I taught Primary because the daughter wanted to go to primary. We also had an awesome fireside! We sang from "Greater Than Us All" I'm pretty sure it's by Kenneth Cope. But it was really good. It was a missionary fireside, and the sisters organized it and all and it was really good. We all sang and there was a projector that was doing a slide-show of pictures of Christ. It was really powerful. The same investigators that came to church came to listen to the fireside. They were both crying at the end of the night with the last song and the pictures. Called He Comes/Alleluia. Frankly I can't blame them for crying cuz I was trying very hard not to. But it was a really good week and we taught a lot and we have people that are getting really close to baptism. We are hoping to set 3 people for baptism this week and there are about 3-4 others who could be baptised in the next 2 months.

The work is booming here in our area. Its wonderful. You couldn't ask for a better ward either. They all just have the right attitude and are willing to help out in anyway they can. On Sunday's we're starting something nice. We are gonna do a trade-off for 2 hours with the ward members so we can see more people. It'll be sweet!

But the work is awesome and it's just so right! I know it is and the people can feel of the Spirit through us. I think that's the coolest thing. That they are feeling His love through me. Crazy. It's such an awesome feeling to see people progress and change!
