Hope you had a nice Halloween? Don’t celebrate it this side but still I hope you all enjoyed haha.
This week I was without a comp for a few days but it was still a good time cause I got to be with the other sisters. Sister Tukafu (my old comps from Woodlands) and Sister Matangi both from Tonga Island! They make everything fun haha. When we went to their area I finally got to ride a gabaza! That is what they call bikes here. It is the main form of transportation. So you pay a driver and you sit on the back on this little seat and you ride! Hey it was so fun. I would be totally cool if they took the car away and we had to ride those ;-)
But this week we had some powerful experiences that once again taught me that when we have faith and when we work hard miracles happen. So one day we went finding in my area with the two sisters. I wanted to knock on this gate and one of the sisters I was with (who had visited my area before I came) said not to knock it cause she thinks those people are against our church cause that is what she heard. Okay well me I was willing to get a gate slammed in my face (honestly I thought it would be kinda fun) so I knock and guess what? The people let us in and they wanted to learn more and they let us come back another time too|! One of the guys we taught that stays there is studying Theology at a local Christian school. He had heard of the Book of Mormon but had so many questions and of course we have the answers. I know it was inspired to knock on that gate and it taught me that I need to JUST DO IT. Follow the spirit and have the faith you need to find and the people will be there!
Another tender mercy happened on Sunday. So at first when church started there were no people, but as time went on more and more came and the place was almost filled. I have never in my time here seen it like that. It was full of investigators, less active members, active members and it was a beautiful sight. Couldn’t really take a picture but I will NEVER forget. We ended up having 13 people at church that day and some of them we couldn’t even see us during the meeting but after they came and found us. The work is moving forward and it may be slow but I’m grateful for those times that give me inspiration to keep going and keep doing.
And yes my new companion finally came! Her name is Sister George and she is from Nigeria! She is one of my fav people in this mission. She is hilarious and always has something interesting to talk about. We are having a good time together and loving it here.
Ben is getting baptized this week and he can not wait. . . seriously! He asked me on Friday if he could just get baptized tomorrow haha this kid. He is doing good.
Anyways I hope you all have a good week!
with lots and lots of love,
Sister Moulton
