This week was definitely an adventure, but then again, every week is an
adventure here.
Monday, after I wrote, we went fishing with Ivan and Tonga and all of the
family. I had a huge fish on my line, but it broke off, but I landed another one
right after. I was the only one that caught something.
Just so you all know, in the mornings we spend a lot of time at the church
doing paper work and sending emails to the mission offices in Santiago.There
are a million things to do here on the Island, and there is no one else that
does them other than the missionaries...we are bishops, secretaries, pianists,
choristers, and most importantly MISSIONARIES! but hey, it's fun.
We met a crazy guy on Tuesday. He said he had a two wheeled skateboard that
could fly. It's been a while since we've found a crazy person like that.
On Wednesday we had an awesome lesson with I. We felt impressed to read
the story of Enos with him, Because I. has been really trying to get an
answer, and while we were reading it we asked him if he had tried kneeling while
he was praying. He told us he hadn't. He said he would do it, but we are way
excited because I. is really searching and the Spirit is getting to him!!!!
YES!!!
On Thursday we taught M.. It was awesome. We went over the baptismal
interview questions, (because she says she isn't ready to get baptized) so we
asked her if she believed Joseph Smith was a prophet and she said "I don't know". That was when we were like-- "there´s your problem" so then she said "I guess I
need to study and pray about Joseph Smith". She is so smart!
On Saturday we helped I with a little bit of yard work, and he said he
was going to go to church because he hasn't gone in a couple of weeks.
Saturday night we had dinner with C and Cr. They are a new
part member family we found. C seems promising to have him back in the
church. His wife, Cr is pretty set on being Catholic, but the Spirit is
amazing, So it can change people.
On Sunday we had only 15 people at church. Poco. But 5 of them were
investigators. That's good for our missionary responsibilities but bad for our
bishop responsibilities....
That's pretty much it for this week. We were a little sick this week as
well, but we are doing our best. The Island is awesome. I'm not going to lie. There is a lot of temptation here to waste time. It is very difficult, but in
our prayers we ask for the Lord to protect us from temptation. We tell Him about
our days and what we did, and He tells us what we did well and what we need to
change through His Spirit.
Love,
Elder Williams
