Hello!
This
week has, once again, held so many miracles!
We
have been able to meet with Simone and Melody, investigators who have been
having difficult times, but are still striving to learn the gospel because they
know it is what will help them most in life. We had church in Cooma on Sunday
and investigators, Richard and Jim came, which was really exciting to see! We
think that Richard will benefit more from the elders so they will be teaching
him from now on. It is good that we have elders because I think we will be able
to accomplish more of what Heavenly Father has planned for our area.
We
had a miracle last night, when we taught an investigator, Evone, and her
partner Kwadjo (Jo), who is now a new investigator too! Neither of them had a
chance to read from the Book of Mormon over the past week, so we read with
them, starting at the title page and introduction. Like our first visit with
Jo, he was blown away at everything we read, especially the part in the
introduction where Joseph Smith says it is the most correct of any book on
Earth. Jo said that it was a huge statement but that it makes him want to know
if it's true. He said he feels like this could be the answer he has been
looking for to help him and his kids, like this is the missing puzzle piece! It
was amazing because that is exactly what I have always hoped that investigators
would realize more quickly about the Book of Mormon. We testified and promised
that it really is what he has been searching for and the thing that will help
him and his family the most in life. It was so cool! Evone was really involved
too and wanted to know where the book tells about our day. We directed her to 2
Nephi 27 I think, so they are both excited to read. At the end we asked Jo if
he would be baptized if he came to find it was true. He responded "well I
wouldn't have a choice if I knew it was true". I thought that was awesome
because he really understands and wants to follow Jesus Christ.
Sister
Haretuku is from Whangarei, New Zealand, and is the 3rd of 7 kids in
her family. She's 21 and been out just
one transfer less than me. I love
teaching with Sister Haretuku because I feel like we are really able to invite
the spirit together to have meaningful lessons, and she is good at asking
inspired questions. She is also so fun and we laugh a lot. Things are good! I
hope life is for you all as well! Read
from the Book of Mormon every day this week to bring God's guidance and help
and light into your life!
Love
you all!
