Hello everybody!!! Another great week out here in
Rogers!
Things have really picked up with our finding and last
week we had tons of miracles. We
had 3 exchanges with zone leaders last week and they always bring a strong
spirit of finding and that helped us a lot.
Carl is still doing great, as well as Mely. They are both solid as a rock and Carl
now has the Aaronic Priesthood and Mely is awaiting her first calling!
A cool story from this week that isn’t very significant
but just really opened my eyes was we are teaching a lot of Marshallese people
and a lot of kids who are not members, one of whom is named Mercy. She is 17 and pretty shy and I think
maybe nervous about speaking English because she is still learning. But she always wants us to come teach
her and is really sweet about us teaching. Well the other day while we were all sitting in the grass
having a lesson, a white girl was kind of hovering around wanting to listen but
feeling awkward (she may have even had disabilities) but Mercy made the effort
to go and tell her that she was welcome to come listen to the missionaries and she
did all of this while holding paper towels to her mouth that was bleeding
because she had to have all of her teeth pulled. It was a tender moment.
We have so many people we are working with and so many
that are Marshallese. I really do
love the Marshallese people and culture. They believe that everybody should share everything they have
and they really live by it. Every
home we enter gives us something before we leave.
Our ward is doing great and Bishop Gubler is so awesome.
They are always looking for
solutions and ways to help us rather than just getting annoyed with
investigators’ lack of commitment etc. We are so grateful for them.
Love you all,
Elder Green
