Man another week down and it is already December!! Only a
few more weeks until Christmas and I get to see all of you!! Ahhh Im so
exited!!
This week has been really good, even though I didn't have
thanksgiving dinner... but even though I didn't get to have turkey I did get to
have a baptism!! Daniel was baptized on Saturday and was confirmed yesterday at
church by Brother Touli. It was a really good experience and Daniel said he was
really able to feel the spirit. I was asked by him to give a talk
at the baptism and yes it is still just as scary as ever even though Im a
missionary. Actually its even more nerve racking now because people are
expecting you to be a good speaker and to blow their mind with your testimony
haha
The talk went alright and then Elder Tau baptized him and he
had to do it twice cause his leg came up the first time....lol... Also the
Wirihana-hawea family came to church yesterday as well!! They stayed for the
whole time and the kids said that they loved it. We have continued teaching
Haare and he is progressing really well and we had a lesson with him the other
night and he prayed for the first time in front of us!! Man it was the best
prayer I have ever heard and it was so sincere. He prayed for his family and
for him to be able to receive the answers that he is looking for and then he
went on to say how grateful he was for his family and all the blessings that he
has. The lesson we had with him was on the Plan of Salvation and it went really
well and he understood everything and didn't really have any questions, he said
he was just "soaking everything up." Then at the end of the lesson we
asked why he was wanting to learn more and what was his goal that he wants to
work towards and he actually started bearing us his testimony without even
realizing it and then said that he wants to be baptized once he has had all of
the lessons!! I cant believe how far he has come and he has been such a good
example for his family and has actually been they key to getting them all
re-activated in the church!!
I hope everyone had an amazing thanksgiving!! I was thinking
about mums heavenly potatoes and those yams... mmmm I want it right now!! Lucky
enough last night we got to go to the Touli's and have dinner there and every
Sunday night is pretty much Thanksgiving haha heaps of family and a massive
feed.
Well Im gonna try and send you some more pictures really
quick while I email president!
Love ya heaps!!
