Week 60 - Lefagaoali'i
hey fam this week has been awesome. me and my new companion elder palepoi are working hard in our area in lefagaoalii to visit less actives and find new people to teach.
one quick story cuz time is short: me and elder palepoi went and contacted a friend who had been taught by other missionaries a while back and almost came to church but his village prohibited him from joining.. so we went back to see how he was doing and we get to his house and it was like a little store that he ran.. anyway we started talking to the person who came to the window(who was the guy we were looking for but didn't find that out till like halfway through the message we shared) and we started talking. we started talking about church and how he is methodist and the crazy way they do their tithing and then we talked about the right way that the lord has commanded us(10%) and he seemed really interested about it.. we share with him a scripture in alma 30 where alma explains to korihor that missionaries don't work for money, all we want to do is bless him and his family and in helping him we receive our reward. my comp shared a bomb testimony and we had the spirit with us strongly and we knew that the spirit hit him... anyway we were trying to set up a return date to go back and people just kept coming up to the store to buy food so the spirit kinda left and then we were there for a long time and by the time we actually ended up leaving he seemed perturbed that we took up a lot of his time... hahaha it was such a good lesson that kinda flopped at the end haha it was really too bad. but we know he felt the spirit and we are hoping and praying he will open up and we will have more opportunities to visit and share with his family.
the work is good. the church is true. Jesus Christ is our lord and savior and through him we can receive eternal life.
