WEEK 85 No news this week

  This week a couple pretty cool this happened. 1) We have been having so many investigators come to church. The work has been booming! 2) One of the families that we are working with is really struggling with money. Sometimes when they don't catch fish they just eat rice. So me and my companion buy cans of ham every now and then. Also for money they have been rolling cigarettes and selling them, and that's the only way they pay for rice.  I told them if they ask for help from the ward, they will get it, and that many blessings come from the church. They were super shy and didn't want to. Somehow they managed to tell the stake president.  So, just yesterday we go to their shack/house and he was super happy because he talked to someone and might be able to get a job at Moroni High School as a security guard! Blessings!  It's been really hard for him because he only has 1 functional arm. 3) Our investigator sat next to some other i...

This week was a great hard working week! We got 2 new investigators and our people have been progressing like crazy. We have so many people to work with now because the Big Boss upstairs has provided so many for us and has given us his spirit, to guide us to those people who are ready for the message. We have been pounding in lessons, even after our dinner. 2 stories: 1) My companion and I were going to one of our lessons and I saw someone I knew from my last area. He was just standing by the road looking off and thinking really hard about something. Eventually he saw me and was really excited. I asked him "what were you thinking about?" and he explained and said, "ahhh just the thing that just happened at that store up there.  He told me that the people in the store were just chillin when a super short looking man that was very very fast appeared out of no where. He was very dark and his body wasn't very defined. Everyone in the store was freak...

     Kam na bane ni flippin Maui! Man what a great week! Elder Moore and I worked so hard to find more people to teach, and after fasting and praying for it, we found so many people! It's like this church is true or something. So many things happened this week therefore, story time: 1) We have been working with an endowed couple who the husband was the first councilor,  who have  unfortunately fallen away and no longer wear garments, drink, smoke, and don't attend church. Fortunately, when we were talking to/secretly tracting  a drunk guy on the street with tabacco in his mouth (who is now one of our most progressing investigators) we found that he lives with these endowed members. We visited them a few times and no progression. No progression until we shared Alma 34:32-35 Which basically says the purpose of this life and to not procrastinate your day of repentance. That scripture basically slapped them into shape and really put ...

Mauri! So this week has been great and not that bad, just the work is really rough. Hoping we get more people to teach! I'm basically white washing with my companion as I am training. It's all fun! Me and my companion are talking about a business we can make when we get back. ahaha. But yea things are going great now that we have been finding people. kam uara ikanne?-how u all doing over there?
