Week 74 - Vavau
Another day (week) another dollar as they say!
this week was awesome! our friend failautusi was baptized and confirmed!!
story: one of our friends named siupolu needs to be divorced from her first husband in order to get married to the husband that she is with now, so we got the information about her ex husband on the other side of island and went and visited him. they have 4 children together and all of them are living with their dad. we asked the dad if he could go with siupolu (his ex) to the government and get a divorce, and he said he could. then he threw siupolu under the bus and said the reason why they got divorced was because she cheated, and he asked us if the church could pay for the divorce cuz she was the one who "sinned". we were kinda disappointed in siupolu, cuz she never disclosed that to us. we go back to siupolu and ask her her side, and she told us that the husband lied!! the husband actually cheated and he has been lying to the kids for about 10 years, saying that their mother was unfaithful. siupolu called the guy while we were there and he wouldn't admit that he lied to us. now the guy doesn't want to get divorced, because if they do, the kids will learn the truth and want to live with their mom! it's a mess. but it is real life man. i hope and pray we can work this out for this family.
there is a never ending list of problems in this world, that is how it was designed to be, but how lucky are we to have the gospel of jesus christ to seek shelter and comfort and peace. rely on the savior's atonement and trust in his promises. i know the book of mormon is true. I have truly come to know the joy the gospel can bring, and i love sharing it with others.
