We had an awesome week! I wanted to share a little bit about
our baptism on Saturday. So The baptism started at 4:30 on Saturday afternoon.
We had some youth giving the talk on Baptism, and the Talk on Holy Ghost. They
did an Awesome Job. She was baptized by Bro Alailima from the Ward. Then the
2nd Counselor talked about his own conversion back in Peru. And our bishop
shared some closing remarks, the spirit was their so strong, Testifying of the
Truth of whats happening. And i just remember such a special peace that was
there, the spirit was so strong. Then we had dinner afterwards. We ended up having
4 dinners that night, all of them different parties that we got invited too.
And Here in Hawaii you show respect by eating all the food that is offered you.
So holy smokes i ate more food then i ever remember eating before, i was so
stuffed! We got so much leftovers to take home, that it all wouldn't even fit in
our fridge. Elder Morco confirmed her the next day at church.
We had some awesome service projects this week. This morning
for about 4 hours from 9-1 pm, we helped the Plouzek family. They needed a room
painted, to me and Elder Morco got to work painting the whole room, and also
helping take all the boxes from the Attic to the Front room for the movers to
grab. It was awesome to do service, even on a P-Day! :)
So we had a lesson with Lindsay and Dom on Friday. We talked
story for a little while, then we invited them to come to Kitana's baptism on
Saturday. I look over at Lindsay and she is smiling, nodding yes, and happy, i
could tell she wanted to go. Then i look over at Dom, and i see a frown, and i
instantly knew he was going to make an excuse that he couldn't go. But what came
out of his mouth shocked me even more. He told us that he didn't want to
investigate our church anymore. That their are doctrines that he doesn't agree
with. He said that he prayed about it, and feels like God wants him to keep
looking at other churches. We shared our testimonies and invited him to pray
about it more. He said we can keep coming over to hang out with them, but he doesn't want us to teach anymore. I think maybe someone at work told him some
anti-mormon stuff. Because he has been progressing and growing so much! He quit
drinking, he said multiple times that he feels like this is the right place, so
i don't know what happen. Satan got him distracted, I'm not sure. Were not whats
up with Lindsay, cuz she knows the church is true, and knows the book of Mormon
is true.
So pray for them both, its so hard to see someone who is so
close fall away.
Well i love you all, thanks for everything! :)
Love Elder
