Well,
another week came and gone in the blink of an eye, crazy how fast time has been
going. We accomplished 6 baptisms this weekend, but sadly I have left my memory
card at the house. Stink! I will definitely send them next week. I was able to
give a talk during sacrament meeting yesterday, and also give the gift of the Holy
Ghost to 6 people, so it was a very busy, yet spirit filled day. For my talk I
shared how grateful I was to be a part of the changes that took place in all of
our newly converted members. I got to see that they were all born again
spiritually. Then I made a connection from how a baby is born, and the first
thing it does after being born is cry. I always thought to myself that the
babies are probably crying because they leave the presence of our heavenly
father. Then I made the connection to all the baptisms I have seen up to this
point, and I have to say that about 90 percent of these people come out of the
water crying after being "reborn" spiritually. Then with that I
realized, they are probably crying because they were given again, the chance to
return into the presence of Heavenly Father. So they cry tears of joy. I love
my family here in Tahiti. I Love my Heavenly Father and the plan that He
created for each and every one of us individually. I love being able to tell
people I love them in 4 languages, (English, French, Tahitian, and Paumotu) I
actually worry that the ability I have to speak these 3 other languages that I
learned will go away after my mission, because it truly is a gift that I was
given.
I hope that
you all have a great week this week, not really much other things have
happened. I’ve really just been helping my companion get ready to go home, he
leaves next Tuesday. So I’ve been running him around and doing last minute preparations
with him. It’s sad to see him go; he really is a great Elder and a great
friend! The Lord needs me here for another 10 months, so I will do my best in
order to receive a whole bunch of blessings for my future family, and the
family I have right now. I love you all and pray for you constantly. Please
stay safe! Sorry this letter was a little short!
