Member missionaries=successful missionary work

June 18, 2018

Last week Tuesday we were able to stop by one of our investigators that gets home pretty late at night. We weren't able to see her the week before. But she came out tonight (there is a gate so all we can do is yell). We talked for a while about all her animals and whatnot. Then we planned to share a video with her and asked if we could share it. She didn't really say anything so I pulled it up. We watched Because of Him.She said it made her sad to see what Christ had to go through. But we explained how that video brings hope and peace because we can always start again. We invited her to come to church and she said she might. It is a miracle when we find someone that doesn't work on Sunday! She said we can come back this week to teach more!

Wednesday we were finally able to see Sari and Kevin. Sari is a returning LA member and Kevin is an investigator. We havent been able to see them in probably a month. We were able to bring our ward mission leader and his son in law for fellowship. It was so great. We didnt realize they already knew each other really well! They have been coming to church for a while bit have been through a lot. 

Our new investigator cancelled on us so that was sad but hopefully we can see her this week!

On Friday we had an appointment with the lady we met earlier in the week that we talked to briefly. We brought a member of the bishopric. It was really great to have him there. He was able to relate to Chaniel. It was a little awkward because we found out she was just baptized last year with her husband in 7th day Adventist after several years. But she is super nice and her step son is a member living in Utah. We explained the Book of Mormon and gave it to her to read. So we will see what happens! They are such a sweet family and have been through a lot but have such strong faith in the Lord! 

Saturday was service day. We helped clean the chapel. Then we helped a member decorate for the fourth of July. She goes all out for every season in decorations. She had some palms trees in her front yard that when decorated look like fireworks to we put a string of lights on each one. There are about 8. Then we went to a LA members house and helped clean her house. She has been really busy with work and hasn't been able to clean like she wants to. It was fun too because she had some friends over who had a dog having puppies. So exciting and cute!

Yesterday I was surprised that we didn't have a program for Fathers but I think it's because we have little to no primary... We had some great speakers though!

 

We were also excited to see the family of a returning less active join her for church. It was her husband and 2 son's. We were able to teach gospel principles with them sitting in. We decided to teach the Plan of Salvation. It was really special when the father talked about this being his first time in church in 15 years! He bore his testimony of the Plan to his 2 young men. The spirit was really strong. Such a special moment. We are excited for them!

That's about all folks!

Aloha!
