This week has been
amazing!! We didn't really do much for pday this last week but Monday
night me and Elder Baasansuren got a call from the Mission President and
we were told our transfer news! Elder Baasansuren went up north back to
the same area he serve in for 9 months haha he's excited though the
people love him there! I got called to be the district leader! It's been
pretty crazy but I'm getting used to it haha.
Tuesday we did some good byes to the members for Elder Baasansuren and did some tracting that was about it.
Wednesday
was transfer day and my new companion is Elder Iuli! I'm so excited to
be his companion and getting to serve in West Harbour with him. He's
been awesome so far! We did some introductions with the members as well
so that was way fun. He loves the members already!
Thursday
we did heaps of biking and tracting which was pretty fun and we took a
break at a fruit stand and ate some fresh peaches and talked about so
much stuff it was fun! We had dinner with a the Sorenson family and then
they had a little meeting for Elders quorum and Elder Iuli got to meet
more members so that was good for him!
Friday
we did heaps of stuff preparing for the baptism and than planned with
the district for a skit we have to perform at zone conference this next
week. We did some tracting and met a guy named Roga and talked to him
about God. He does t believe in a religion just believes in God because
too many people focus on the religion and church instead of God himself
and we had a great conversation about how we focus on God and Jesus
Christ and try to bring people closer to Them.
Saturday
was the BAPTISM for Selena! It was seriously the best day of my mission
I loved seeing her get into the water and the smile that was on her
face! She was super nervous before she got baptized but after she got
out she told me, "Elder Wilding you were right. This was the most
spiritual and peaceful feeling I've ever felt!" I was so happy for her
and seeing how supportive her family was even though they aren't members
was great and now we can start to focus on converting the whole family!
Elder Baasansuren baptized her. He came all they way back down from up
north to do it. It was so amazing I loved it and it really shows that
all the hard work and difficult days pay off. After the baptism we went
to Selenas house to celebrate and we got to talk to the family about
everything and they are so nice and supportive.
Sunday
I got to confirm Selena a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
latter-day Saints! I was super nervous but it was awesome! Since we
didn't have a car after church a member gave us a ride to their house
for dinner and than they took us to the Stake Christmas Cantata after.
They whole stake had parts in singing Christmas songs and talking about
the birth of Christ it was awesome! It topped the week off with another
spiritual moment!
Today
as of right now we are just getting our car back so that is gonna be so
amazing having it back so we can visit the members and tract in the far
away areas. I'm so excited haha!
This
week has been so amazing and I'm so excited to see what this transfer
holds for me and Iuli! I love you all and hope you have a great week!!
Alofa ate oe!
Love,
Elder Wilding
Selena's Baptism!
