Last week Monday we were able read the Book of Mormon with a family we are teaching. The son was baptized about a month ago and the parents plan to be baptized in December. We could feel the spirit of peace when we read and we testified this is what we are promised when we read. It was really great.
Tuesday we went to the library to meet a guy that we were going to share a message with. He said he would meet us outside. After a few minutes of waiting we started talking to this other guy and his kid who was running around and trying to find lizards to catch. He was super cute. So we ended up giving him a Book of Mormon. He didn't want to give us his information but said he would come to church so we have him that information. We came to the conclusion that the other guy ditched us...haha
Later on we ended up walking the streets to find people to talk to and they were really nice. We started talking to a guy watering his yard and plants. He didn't seem to want to talk to us. But after a while we found out he was married to a member but still believes in Scientology but maybe there is a higher power... We asked him to pray if God is there and set a time to come back and he gave us his phone number!
Wednesday we were able to to service at Pearl Harbor. We were able to dust it wasn't too exciting but our people from our district made it fun.
We went to see Richard on Thursday and the lady who answered the door said he was sleeping but as we were walking away he came out so that was nice. I was sad that we weren't going to be able to see him. He was able to pray about baptism and wants to be baptized on Dec 1! He also said he wants to watch all of conference since he missed it which is great!
Saturday we were able to talk to one of the tenants in our building and we were surprised when he accepted our invitation to share a message! We were supposed to meet later on Saturday but he ended up being busy. We asked if 4:30 on Sunday would be good but he didn't respond. We were out visiting people with our member and he called us. He was waiting for us...I kicked myself for not being there but maybe it will be better to meet this week! We are excited that he is keeping in contact!
We went to the park later to try and find people to talk to and we met a group that had just finished playing ukulele. We aked what they were playing and they told us gospel music so we were like...can we learn. The took us to the pavilion where their pastor was and two others. He played and we sang a few songs together. Then he let Sister Sakai practice what we share since she hasn't been out that long. We ended up sharing about the gospel and Christ establishing his church, it being changed, and Joseph Smith restoring it. The Preacher had a lot to say. He told us a bunch of scriptures from the bible and said how Christ is the gospel and that we are saved through him when we accept him. We were able to give him a Book of Mormon and he said he would read it...we hope the spirit will testify to him when he reads it! We will find out on Saturday!
Sunday was good but we only had one person we are teaching come to sacrament but it was exciting that he was there...we haven't been able to meet with him yet so it was good. We taught the 16-17 year olds Sunday school which he and his friend were in so that was good.
Today we played pickle ball with our members and elders. It was my first time and it was pretty fun!
We also played a little basketball and shot some need guns later in the day. It was a good active p-day!
I'm so grateful to be a part of this wonderful missionary work! I have grown so much and have been able to help others as well. I love this gospel with all my heart! If you haven't shared something with someone this week I invite you to do so...blessings come and it feels so good to share with others. It coukd be a scripture, a Mormon message, or your simple testimony.
Aloha!
Sister Heath
