Week 13 - American Samoa
Malo Soifua!
Transfer 2 down (each transfer is 6 weeks long) and I am still kicking it here in my birth place malaeimi. I love the members here they are dope! It's awesome to see my relationships getting closer with them as I am learning more and more to speak their language and understand them.
SOO brooo Elder Visesio is bouta finish his mission next week and we got the transfer call but we were told that we were both gonna stay in Malaeimi but we were getting third missionary to be in our trio.. that lucky missionary is none other than Elder Masuisui! he was in my intake and we know each other super well so I am so hyped!! can't wait to get back at it in this area and find some people who are ready to hear the gospel!
So its been raining a ton hear so one day we had to walk like 50 yards in rain waiter up past our knees it was sick! peep the pics.
We had a super cool but super sad experience yesterday where we were going to a house that we got a referral from and this girl was sitting on the side of the house crying. we went and sat by her and she told us through tears that her husband beats her and that she just wants to move away somewhere. man I was at loss as what to do. we just sat by her for a while and that we told her that God loves her and that he wants for her to be happy and as representatives of him and his son we were there to help in whatever way we could. so she said we could come back tomorrow. I am still not sure what to share or what we will do but I hope there is something we can do for her and her family. Like its crazy man people have sooo many different problems and in every case,, every single case I can see how the gospel would be exactly what they need. It's just the trouble that we run into is seeing how we can help these people see that as well.
Agency is a beautiful thing and its the only way we can progress and eventually be happy but what sucks is seeing people out here use their agency to just disregard and reject exactly what will help them.
but its all good man I know Heavenly Father has a plan and I know that Jesus Christ is the center of it. I know that he suffered with the hope of having every single one of God's children find happiness. I am continually trusting in that and I am just happy for the opportunity to be a representative of Him and to invite people to find that happiness. I am literally doing my part in gods plan to "bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." It's amazing.
Ok! have a good week everyone!
