Hello Family and Friends!!! I am alive and well out here in
Arkansas! The Rogers area has been
super good to me and I am extremely excited about the future here.
This week was so great. There is a large group of investigators
from the island of Ping Lop. It is
right next to the island of Pompei and this next Saturday an awesome woman
named Melly is going to be baptized. I saw her everyday it feels like since I have been here and
she is so amazing and ready to be baptized. The elders that have served here before me have been such
great missionaries there is a lot of work here!
We had a special experience this
week. One day we were out tracting
looking to find somebody new to teach. We knocked for a good while with a lot of doors shut and we
decided to keep going and knock on this complex across the street with a large
Marshalese population. The first
door we knocked on was a woman who talked with us for a good while and she was
very nice and she invited us back but the whole time their was an islander in
the apartment above us smiling and waving. He went inside while this lady was still talking to us but
after we went up to talk to the man who was smiling this is how the door approach
went:
"Hello we are missionaries
from the church..."
"I know, that is my
church!"
"Oh, were you baptized in the
islands?"
"No, I was never baptized but
I went with the elders to church all the time and I have been looking for you
guys!"
haha the Lord prepares people all
you have to do is look. Also,
notice that if we would have stopped at the doors in our face we would have
never made it to the open door!
Love you all!!!
Elder Green
