Hey fam,
Well, first off, I'm not getting transferred. And second off,
neither is my companion. So, pray for us that we survive 6 more weeks.
haha.
Anyways! Moli put the brakes on again :( she wasn't sure why she
didn't feel ready though. We met with her a second time and she realized
she's been reading the Book of Mormon more to compare it to the Bible
than to really find out if it's true. So she's committed now to reading
it with an open heart and to continue praying about it. Omar has had the
rest of the lessons now so he's completely ready. Just waitin on his ma
now. We encouraged the ward council to fellowship her more.
We were able to get in with a couple additional families this
week and teach them. Theres one family we've been trying to see and
finally caught the older kids at home this past week. They were really
nice and invited us in. We shared a short message with them about
prayer. Their mom and some of them have started coming back to church
recently. Theres an active family that we committed to pray for
missionary opportunities a few weeks ago and all the kids have had a TON
at school - friends asking about the church, the Book of Mormon, etc.
We showed them a restoration pamphlet and they all wanted one! haha. So
we gave all the kids one to give to a friend (they're all teenagers I
think). They're hoping to maybe hand out a book of Mormon or two
sometime soon as well.
Also met with Sam again - I might have mentioned him before. His
wife isn't a member but she's nice. He always says he wants and needs to
come back but hasn't made it. That's one of my goals - I want to see
him come back.
I sent a package home on Saturday. I need to start getting rid of
more stuff soon. Well. Maybe in November ish. But you should get that on
Wednesday. It might be a good idea to open it together... ;) Consider
it early Christmas maybe... hehe...
We started that member Area book idea I came up with a while ago.
We've been designing a template, like a "member teaching record" similar
to something used for investigators. We might show the APs to see if
other missionaries want it. It's a good idea and doesn't hurt to be
extra organized, especially with the increase in need of member
involvement and especially in a polynesian ward.
Anywho. 18 more weeks! It'll get here all too soon.
Love you guys
Elder Nelson Browning
