It's been a while since last time since I didn't write last week, so I've got a lot to tell you all! Itw as so awesome to see everyone last week! Everyone looks like they are doing great and man, Brin is getting so tall, super crazy! Its also weird to think that I will only be skyping you guys one more time...time goes by too fast!
Ok, so for the rundown of these last two weeks. We had some huge miracles in the missionary work this week! With Paul we were super guided by the spirit, and teh Lord helped us to find out what was keepign him from getting baptized. And he's going to be getting baptized this Sunday morning!
Vehiarii is super sweet, and he'll be getting baptized Saturday morning. These will be my first two baptisms here at Raiatea, I'm super pumped. We aslo had three other investigators that acepted the baptismal invitation, and will be getting bakptized in the next coupe of months, if all goes well.
We had a pretty crazy week last week, with Christmas and taransfers. Last Wednesday we had to spend all day at the city, drivng people around, waiting for delayed airplanes, running errands for the Christmas party, etc. We fit 7 people in the tiny missionary house at Uturoa Wednesday night, with all the mattresses there was literally no walking space. haha good times. Thursday was our zone Christmas party, which was super fun. We played a lot of games, did a gift exchange, ate pizza, shared some messages and watched Moana, which was super good!
We also did a lot of caroling this Christmas. On Friday after our district meeting we went around all of Raiatea and went caroling to all of the investigators in the district. On Christmas day we went to the hospital and sang to the sick people that were hospitalized for Christmas. It was so cool to see the joy on all of these people's faces as we sang about Christ, the light of the World!
Random good news, I got my Christmas package the other day! It was super great! Thank you all so much! Also some other good news, I got a 424 in Yahtzers, Christmas miracle!
A few funny stories from these past weeks: One mornign we were studying and an inactive member called us outside. We went out and started talking with him, and he amem over to stash his backpack in our house. We were understandably a little hesitant, and he then proceeded to tell us that he was goig to go beat up his daughters boyfriend and that there were gonna be cops there so he needed to keep his backpack full of weed, which was all he had to survive. We told him that there was no way we were stashing weed in the misisonary house...watch out for backpack stashers!
We also got attacked by a dog that was nursing some puppies the other day. It came savagely runnning at us What does my companion do? He grabs me and pushes me as bait to the dog while screaming and hiding behind me hahahah. Luckily I sacared it off with some savageness of my own and no one got hurt.
Last one, we went over to an investigators house, and the husband came out, super drunk. Luckily he wasn't the violent drunkard, but more of the hippie kind. He was saying the funniest things, and would not leave us alone...he then sat on the couch behind us and took us in a interview one by one hahahah. He started crying in my companions interview and I snatched a quick pic. Don't drink kids.
I love you all so much, have a good week!
