What a week! This sector is awesome. We're finding so much success and people are so great and nice!! The car is wonderful I forgot how much I like cars.
Saturday we were so happy to see Tema be baptized! Hes 19 and is thinking about a mission! Then Sunday in Sunday school we took some of our amis aside for a special class about how faith can help them work miracles to remove their "family blocks" that are preventing them to be baptized and at the end, one of our newer amis who is 17 told us that he really felt the spirit during the lesson and wants to be baptized this saturday! So cool.
We are having success but there are always trials. And if there is one thing I've learned that is important to have success in missionary work that is humility. For example, the Book of Mormon does a great job of showing us how dangerous pride is, cause every time people get prideful they get destroyed (cut off from the presence of the Lord). Sometimes on a mission when you start having great success you forget where all the success is coming from. (Heavenly Father). Cause He's nice and wants to bless His children. But I think I'm finally learning that even in times of difficulty and even in times of success we need to be very humble and grateful and lean on God's grace like it's our only hope. (Cause it is).
I'm grateful for this gospel. I know it's true. Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer and has power to lift us up. BUT we've got to be humble enough to accept His help and listen to Him and pray with all our strength.
Ua here au ia outou!
