I
hope everybody had a great week. We
had a lot of fun and success here. One big problem however is that the ward
really needs to be strengthened from the inside out. With everybody in our ward virtually
being converts there is a lot of strengthening in our ward to do.
There
are over 600 members on our ward roster and about 80 on average. We have realized that we needed to
refocus our efforts. It has been
tough aligning rides for investigators etc. When really the ward has a lot of people for us to work with
already. A lot of part-member
families and with tight knit families all over with a lot of non-members we
need to just refocus our efforts on working with ward members more.
The
language is still going okay, I feel like I have almost hit a road block but
hopefully I will get over the hump and start to have it click. I can teach the Restoration and the Gospel
of Jesus Christ and I have helped with a little translation here and there but
I really need a lot more practice. Elder Wisden is a genius though and is catching up to speed
with me very quickly!
We
had a really cool experience this week. We are really wanting to baptize to
help inspire the branch etc. But
it has been hard with a lot of marriages and divorces that still need to be
finalized with families before they can be baptized. However, this past week we had two girls move from the
Marshall Islands, both who live with active member families and who are ready
to be baptized soon! I am really
excited and grateful God answered our prayer!
I
love you all. I am so proud of all
my friends that have completed their missions or will shortly! I would like to especially give a
shoutout to my best friend Jared Holman who I owe a lot of me being out here on
my mission to, who will return home this week! Love you holmyyyyy
Love
you all I hope you have a great week!
