HEEEYYYY yooouuuu guuuuuuys!
I hope y'alls week has been
fantabulous!
So first of all: yes....I had
hand surgery. If that's what you would even call it. So throughout my mission
so far I've gotten my share of sicknesses. I've gotten shots and these
medications that Americans do not have, but it's worked. I've also gotten these
verrues (warts) on my hands. HOW? no idea! Being here has made me super aware
that washing your hands is not something to be taken lightly here. So yea....I
had to go into the docteur this past wednesday and get that taken care of. And
normally with verrues they would either burn or freeze them off...NOPE.
Everyone....they numbed my hand (and I was so glad they did) and SCRAPED them
off. I don't know what I would have done or said if my hand wasn't numb, but
NEVER have I been so thankful for numbing medicine in my life. So after that my
hand bled a lot, but they gave me medicine to help wash out any virus I have in
my system that would cause the verrues to appear on my hands.
2nd of all: Last week I told
you about the miracle that is ABRAHAM! Well...THEY GOT MARRIED!! I can't
exclaim how happy I am for him and Hapai. They got married and Abraham is
getting baptized this Saturday! It's been a long up hill battle for Hapai, and
we've fasted and prayed with her a lot. For a while she thought he would never
change and was close to giving up and kicking him out of the house, but then
all of he sudden he flips that personal spiritual switch and wants to get
married and baptized. Soeur Hapai came up to me and Sr. Lasso in church
yesterday and said "Je suis trop heureuse! Pere-Celeste a repondu a mes
priers!" He answered her prayers! That one moment was a testament to me:
no matter what your situation is...PRAY!! He hears you prayers, and He WILL
answer them. But don't forget....you are also living the plan that He has made
FOR you specifically, and you agreed to it in the pre-moral existance. He will
answer you prayers, but only when He knows you are ready for it and only when
He knows you are best equiped to handle His response. He loves each and
everyone of us, even though there are some days we think our prayers go unheard
and unanswered. JUST KEEP PRAYING!
Also: We've been teaching this
famille MARCANTONI for about 2 weeks now and it's been AWESOME! They are so
golden! We taught them Le Retablissement this past week, and afterwards talked
about bapteme. They said they really want to get baptized, but "il faut
que nous aillons doussement avec eux." Why? Y'all....a little background
on this famille. They are active Protestants, and that's rare for us
missionaires to get people that are active in their own church and want to hear
the gospel at the same time. They asked to follow the lecons. And they want to
get baptized, but they told us they want us to go slow with them, because they
have callings in the Protestant church and they're en train de quitter la
religion ils on grandit de dans pendant toute leurs vie. C'est dur. But they
said they would do whatever it takes to gain a testimony which was so cool to
hear!!!
This week has been great, and
we found another golden investigator named Dawson who got permission from his
parents to take the lecons. He's so nice and has only 15 years! But you can
just see the light slowly coming into his life. He's become happier and talks
more than from the first time we met him. Golden I'm tellin' ya..GOLDEN!
Other than these blistering hot
days, we are supposed to get an actual cyclone at the end of Fevrier. If that
actually happens who really knows...on verra! But as for now, I hope y'all are
all do SUPER!
N'oubliez pas les benedictions
qui viennent de l'Evangile de Jesus-Christ!! Je vous aime!
E mea oaoa ia'u d'etre ici a
Polynesie Francaise! (I'm so happy to be here in French Polynesia)!
Jusqu'au semaine prochaine!!
