Malo e lelei!
Fefe hake? Mou sai pe? Kou fiefia he faingamlie ko eni ke tohi atu!
Last week i shared how our investigator Una accepted our invitation to be baptized, well this past week he told us he could no longer be baptized and he didn't want to be taught anymore. Man we were so sad... I guess his parents told him he's not allowed to be baptized. They are missionaries in the Siasi Tonga and they didn't want him to baptize into a different church. We could tell he really wanted to be baptized but he's scared of his parents. Hopefully down the road he will come in contact with missionaries again and have the opportunity to be baptized.
On Thursday we had fafanga with the elders at a members house and they brought us out a big dog to eat. Ive had it before but this time it was really hard for me to eat....maybe because i knew it was dog. They had people there visiting from Australia and the guy kept hitting his chest when I would eat the dog and say "Tonga ki ai" haha he was really happy to see a Palangi eat dog and like it. He told me that if I taught him and could speak in perfect Tongan he would be baptized. So, we'll see if he lets me teach him this week and i'll have faith that Heavenly Father will help him look past my imperfect Tongan! I hope he willhear the important message we are sharing and want to be baptized because of what he feels not because of me.
Today is transfer day and Im staying another transfer here in Havelu! There must be someone here that I have yet to come in contact with who is waiting for me. Im ready for a new transfer to work hard!
I want to share a quote from one of my favorite videos called "The Hope of Gods Light"
"Little by little God gives us what we can handle until the day we are humble enough to hear what he has to say. Spiritual light takes an act of faith to open our eyes."
We need to always remember we are on the Lords time. He knows us better than anyone! Its our job to humble ourselves and seek for that spiritual light. I love you all! I hope you have a great week :) Ofa lahi atu!
