This week has been full of ups and downs and in the end it came out pretty great!
Monday we had pday and went to Muriwai Beach again but this time we took a young man named Teancum who got his call to serve in Guam. He spent the whole day with us and than after 6 we went tracting to help him get a head start on missionary work. It was pretty cool. He was pretty nervous and didn't know what to say when he knocked a door but he will get there.
Tuesday we had district council and I gave a training on how having a good attitude while serving the Lord will bring us many blessings and miracles. After we did some finding and found 2 new potentials. We went to go pick up Teancum again and went out with him again before he took off to Hawaii to go through the temple. He did way better that day which is really good he will be a great missionary.
Wednesday we did heaps more finding and did some member visits nothing to big happened just heaps of rejection haha.
Thursday we went to a place called Hobsonville and found a guy from IDAHO. pretty crazy haha. He was from Boise and he invited us to come back and teach the 1st lesson the next day. It was pretty exciting.
Friday we decided to fast for the appointment we had with the guy from idaho and than we did heaps to prepare for it and when we got there he wasn't home.... yea that kinda sucked.. we went back later and he still wasn't home. So we ended up not having a lesson. So we took off and did more tracting and trying to visit some potentials and former people being taught.
Saturday we had a service with the people we cut down trees for a while back. And can you guess what we did?! Cut more trees down haha. It was pretty fun though. And the guy finally went to church and the sisters were very excited. We did some less active visits and that was alright not too many people home because of the holidays.
Sunday was AWESOME! So we had the 2 hour church which was cool but after Sacrament we were sitting in Sunday school and a member pulled us out and there was this guy walked to the church and said that he wants to change his life and get back on track. His name is Jimmy. His son was already baptized but he wants to reactivate him and join himself. It was so awesome getting to talk to him and get to know him and we told him we can help him get on track! He will come to church with his son and maybe his wife next week! We are super excited! All the fasting this week brought us such an amazing miracle!
After church we had a lesson with Selena and her younger sister and that was awesome so we will be teaching the younger sister, Erica again soon!
Over all this week has been amazing and I'm excited to see what happens in 5he next few weeks! I hope you all had a great new years and didn't stay up to late. I celebrated new years for America here haha
Ofa atu!
Love,
Elder Wilding
