All you can do is testify

Hey everyone!

Well this week has been a busy one full of adventure. Now that we took over the elders area, we have like three times the area...we've been looking for good places to street contact and all that good stuff. Good thing is now we get to meet the entire ward! We have a lot more dinner appts (which means we don't have to pack dinner and eat it at the church! haha) and it's been great to talk to all the families I only met in passing at church. This ward is pretty sweet. We also met and taught a few investigators the elders left for us. I don't know if sisters are just smarter when approaching people or if it was just luck (I prefer to think it's the first suggestion) but I was involved in the first real bash of the mission. The elders had met this lady in this sketch appt building and taught her the restoration. When we went back she had this big thing typed up where she had researched and all this stupid stuff she was saying. All you can do is testify, eh? She wasn't mean, thankfully, but just kept asking stupid question after question. I was like, for real? Can we leave now? So we finally get out of the place and we're waiting at an elevator and we can hear her talking to her kids and walking down the hallway. haha we were like ohhh no cuz the last thing we wanted want is to get stuck in the elevator with her. We could hear her getting closer and closer and sis tuia and i are busting up- we were like oh my gosh, this would be our luck! i'm pressing the button like a million times a minute and finally it opens. We hop inside and push the door close button- we made it! haha

We had some great gators at church yesterday and have been teaching Bibi and her daughter Avi (who are set for baptism this coming sunday!) Joseph, who i told you about last week, is set for the week after that (26th) and Nadine too! So all is well and things seem to be going great for all of them. Thanks for the prayers on your side! I know they help for sure! We set a new date for Gay and Clint- we taught the WoW to them last night and they're so determined about it--they'll definitely need your prayers! We brought Subhash with us to teach them because when he bore his testimony last fast sunday it really made Gay want to baptized too. He was soooooo good! This man is gonna be the next prophet, no doubt. Gay & Clint's sister, Navene, is going through a rough time with a divorce and what not so he was talking to her and she had a super cool spiritual experience and just started crying! She said he heart felt like it was attached to a bunjee chord. She, out of the 3 of them, won't commit to be baptized, so we hope as she sees her siblings change and continues to experience these things that she too will want to change.

The coolest things happened a few nights ago- Sis Tuia sleep talking woke me up- she was teaching a full Word of Wisdom discussion. hahaha yes.

Hmm, let's see...i think that's about it. This week we'll be working hard with Bibi & Avi's baptism on Sunday, helping the trio (that's what we call gay/clint/navene) stop smoking and keeping in touch with all of our investigators helping them to progress!

Miss and love you all
