Malo e lelei!!
This week was a good week! We finished up
zone conferences this week here in Tonga. I say it all the time but I love
being a part of zone conferences. I learn so much from them! This week
president gave all of the missionaries some commitments for them to take back
with them to their areas. One of them being to put 4 Book of Mormons in their
bag every single day. We usually keep one or two in our bags but we've made it
a goal now to always have 4 Book of Mormons in our bag. Another commitment he
gave us is at every members house and every less actives house we go to, role
play our lessons with them. Although they are already members its a great way
for us to practice and also a great way to invite the spirit into their homes.
As you know the area I’m in they are all members and only a few of them
are less active. We also cover a small little area down the road from where we
live called Makapaeo. I consists of about 5 houses and they are non members.
They all go to the Wesilian Church and their church is right in the middle of
all of their houses. We go there at least once a week but no one will accept us
into their homes and most of the time they are not home. The do have a
missionary who runs their church and he lives their too, but does not like it
when we come there. Anyway, we took up Presidents advice and yesterday we
visited almost every house in our area. We taught a lesson at every house and
it was awesome! We really had to listen to the spirit to know what things we
could share with them. We also spent some time in Makapaeo the little area we
cover down the road and yesterday we were able to give out 12 Book of
Mormons!!!!!! Man it was so great! Every was willing to listen to our message
and they all accepted to take a Book of Mormon and read it. It was such a
great experience and we can’t wait to go back and visit those who we were able
to give a Book of Mormon to. We didn’t have a chance to go to the missionary's
house but we have a Book of Mormon saved just for him :)
This week I’ve been doing a lot of thinking
and reading about Joseph Smiths First Vision and the Restoration of the Gospel.
We are so lucky to have the restored gospel here on earth. If it wasn’t
for him we would not have the blessings of the Book of Mormon. I challenge you
all to read from Joseph Smith History this week and think about all of the
blessings you have in your life because of the Gospel.
I hope you all have a good week! I’m doing
good and I just love being a missionary! Remember who you are and keep reading the
Book of Mormon.
Ofa lahi atu :)
