This
week went by really well; we actually saw a lot of miracles happen. First off,
we fixed 2 other baptisms! It was really cool how it worked out. So we went to
go teach one of our investigators who already has her baptism fixed, but when
we got there, the husband came out and said that she was in Moorea and that she
will be coming back Monday. So we sat in the car and thought for a second. The
spirit told me to get out of the car and talk to him so I did. As I was talking
to him, I offered to just read a chapter of the book of Mormon with him. He
accepted so I went and got my companions and we had a really powerful lesson
with him. We gave him a blessing and testified of the life changing decision
that his wife would be making soon, in being baptized into Christ’s church. We
testified of how blessed him and his family would be if he entered into the
waters of baptism on the same day as his wife. He sat there for a second and
then accepted to be baptized the same day. The funny thing about this whole
experience was that it wasn’t even planned. In fact we were about to turn the
car around and go visit a family. Yet the Lord had a different Idea, so he used
us to save another one of his children.
Then
right after that lesson, we went to go visit another investigator. On arriving
to her house, we called her name and a young girl came out and told us that she
had moved, so we decided to do a contact with her and asked if she had some
time to talk. We gave her a really quick lesson on the plan of salvation and
she accepted to receive the lessons! We were led again by the spirit not
knowing what to do beforehand! Her name is Megan and she doesn’t have a
religion, usually cases like that are baptized in a heartbeat, so we will see
what happens next!
The
last miracle that happened this week is part of a contact that we had a few
weeks ago. While driving to a lesson, there was a man on the side of the road
walking home. We offered to take him home and he thanked us because he lives
all the way at the top of the mountain and it takes him an hour and a half just
to get home. On the way up to his house, we talked to him and he accepted that
we pass by and hear our message with his family. He gave us his number and that
was the last we heard from him for a few weeks. Then one day while at the top
of the mountain, after our lesson, I was prompted by the spirit to go knock on
one door before we went back down. We were led to a door and when we knocked a
lady answered with her two little twin girls. She had never talked to the
missionaries so we offered to share a message with her. She accepted and when
she was introducing her family she told us the name of her husband and we
realized that it was the same guy that we had been trying to contact for the
past few weeks! We were all extremely happy to know we had finally found the
family, and they are all potential baptisms!
So
pretty much my message for the week is, the best things in life are always the
things we never plan for. We simply let the spirit do its work in leading us,
and we follow. The Lord has blessed us so much this week, and I can’t wait to
see where he will lead us next. All I have to do is continue to act on every
little prompting that comes our way. I know that the Lord is watching over his
children, even little families that live on the tallest mountain in Tahiti! I’m
happy to know that you are all still living. Thank you for all the prayers! I love you all so much. Stay safe this week!
