What's happening!?!? Haha don't you worry, it is very hot
over here! Everyday, as we begin the day, we immediately start sweating which makes for a long, wet day!
Sounds like Mom and Keats are gonna go party in the snow
with snow shoes! NICE!
So this week....
We are beginning to see the works of our labors!! Five weeks of
work is beginning to pay off!! For the past 3 weeks we haven't had anyone to
church. We've been
working morning to night, and we're FINALLY seeing the fruits of our labors!! It adds new meaning to the scripture in Ether from Moroni..."I would show unto the world that faith is things which
are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye
receive no witness until after the trial of your faith. "
So this last Sunday, we were just praying that we would have some souls at
church! We get to Faala 2nd ward, and no one is there. We then went to
Vaitoomuli after sacrament was over, praying we would have some investigators
there, and we had 2!!! Moaga and Matalena! Moaga is going to be baptized on the
11th! His only problem has been that he hasn't come to church! But he did it!
And then Matalena has been kind of a toss up cause we've been hearing from
everyone... but her... that she wants to take lessons, but not from her specifically!
And then she just showed up to church yesterday with a member! And then this
week we found another little guy that just came from Apia to live with his fam
here who are all members, so after lessons...he's getting baptized on 11th with Moaga!
And
so this week we're going to begin with the First Vision with Lolofi, the sweet
old lady, and please pray for her because if she were to accept baptism, it would be amazing! So PLEASE pray for her to recognize the truth!
Well,
that's us this week, and this week I was going over my notes from a conference
we had with a Seventy, Elder Neilsen, that came in October, and something his wife
shared has never left me and I was reminded again of it. Sometimes, not just on
a mission, we start feeling discouraged because we feel like we're doing all we
can to overcome trials, obey the commandments, and love God, but nothing seems
to be going right. All I ask is that YOU remember this scripture that Sister
Nielsen shared with us in times of trial...in the words of Christ in the book
of Psalms 82...
I have said, Ye
are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
So love yous all and hope yous all have a bomb as week!!
Love and miss yous all!!
Elder Larson
Ps..we officially have a bunch of pet chickens now! My comps
