This week was really good.. Let's see if I can remember it well enough
to tell you how good it really was.. I should be keeping a note pad of
things to tell you guys-- I always think this..
WELL! Monday we got to have P-Day, it was good and we ate so many
cookies I almost died.. AND we had a great member dinner- which are
pretty common now that we've gotten to know the members pretty well.
They like us WELL FED.
Tuesday- We had an awesome lesson with Pouli and Lynn, talked to them
about all of their trials, and hard stuff going on.. They are so
strong and they're changing right before our eyes! It's so awesome to
be able to witness the Spirit having such an awesome effect on them.
Elder Jackson and I have gotten so much help in our teaching. We
referred them to Moroni 7... They have a baby now.. his name is
Jeremih (yes, not jeremiah, jeremih) I dunno... Something polynesian.
We also had President Interviews which went very well, I think he
might leave Elder Jackson and I together.. He felt impressed to give
me another blessing, so that's pretty awesome.. I'm so thankful for a
good mission president. He really loves ALL the missionaries it's
spectacular.
Wednesdayy... We only had a lesson with John, and some members...
HOWEVER! It was a great day too! Elder Jackson and I need some slow
days to remember why we work so hard for the great days.. John has
been getting better and better and learning more and more.. He's
getting pretty strong. He doesn't want to be in the situation he is
any more. We've given him a lot of hope. We also had dinner with the
Dorsetts.. we love them. They have a 3 year old named Mason.. I really
want he and Asher to be best friends.. Conveniently they are moving to
BYU in a few months.. hmm... :)
Thursday wassss great! we got back in contact with someone we had a
lesson with a few weeks ago while tracting.. Joan,... guess what! SHE
IS READING THE BOOK OF MORMON!... wow.. this is new. She's already to
Alma 32, so she's getting into a lot of the good stuff.. she already
wants to read it again. We're hoping to invite she and her husband to
our Easter thingy this sunday.. as well as the "relief Society Super
Saturday".. (sounds boring, but good tool to get people to church.)
Really excitiiiing... We had another lesson with Pouli and Lynn and
they are just on FIRE... they love the gospel so much, they want to
get to the temple as soon as possible. The marriage last saturday was
important, but they have the right mind set.. Pouli told us "it's only
a step to being sealed in the temple"... SO awesome.. Pouli is
amazing..
Friday was really efficient.. we had a few good lessons, John was
excited to learn more and watch some church movies.. I love it when
people want to learn more.. and ask questions. Questions are gold. I
had a lesson with Boli, he invited us to Easter dinner with his
family, which sounds like a 'queer' old time... hehehehe.... I also
got mail so that makes friday amazing.
Saturday was action PACKED with Pouli and Lynn.. Lesson- planned their
whole baptism, Pouli is speaking (I'm super excited for this..) AND
they got married.. It's a big step. We're hoping to get the whole
family back fully active. We also had great lessons with our Bermese
(who said they would come to church.. but lied. grrrr...) and the
Decampose Family (Eternally less active.. won't find time for church
at this point.. :( ) Things went well though.. I'm VERY optimistic for
the whole crew. :)
Sunday was the best.. even though it was a dissaster in the thought of
people coming to church... Half the poeple I wanted didn't come.. but
we had some huge chukeese come and Lynn and Pouli were wonderful so it
was mad eup.. It was the last sunday for the Pulokas, Bishop Puloka
and sister Puloka are headed to BYU, (Maybe you'll meet them! I might
send stuff with them to come by so watch out this weekend!) They
spoke in church and the stake president called out for missionaries...
and- Elder jackson spoke.. Whew** thank goodness it wasn't me. **knock
on wood** .. :) After.. we went to the pulokas and I ate so much food
I could have exploded.. but it was so delicious I couldn't stop.. haha
It was great, we got to hear from Sister Puloka about her mission and
she told us to get married as soon as we're off... the pressure is
coming from all sides.
We tried to meet with some less actives... We did see the burmese,
they felt bad for skipping so we're gonn akeep bugging them, I love
em.. but they neeeeeed to get into church.. frustrating. The
Decamposes.. SWORE they'd come next week.. so we'll see (I'm losing
hope a little.. but I'm still VERY optimistic ;)
After all the day, we were exhausted and finally got a chance to have
WMC.. recently our correlation has been terrible and our Ward mission
leader hasn't been real 'into' the work.. So we're getting to know him
better, he's pretty nerdy.. I think he's not as grumpy as people
think.. I think he's just really awkward.. it happens when lots of
Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing computer nerds get together.. hahah... I
love them though...
We were looking for something to do sunday night, and Boli let us in..
Let us talk for a while.. I think he's getting interested.. The Lord
can change him I know it. We talked about Joseph Smith and the Book of
Mormon, the need for another testament.. he hugged us.. **awkward** so
we kniow he felt the spirit.. .. we can always tell by the hug..
Well, things are really great.. I hope you can see how amazing every
single day is.. I'm doing my best with my time.. WRITE ME LOTS! I love
mail... I need the pickme up sometimes.. I love you guys so much.
-Love, ELder hill
