Good day my friends! Last week went really fast, lol. It was probably the busiest week of the mission so far. Lots of lessons and we had zone conference and interviews.
The highlight of the week was the baptism of Alaka'i and Aukai. They had a baptism with their 2 cousins who came from different parts of the island so it was really cool to see all the different people there!
Alaka'i is 11 and Aukai is 9; their family was less active and the missionaries started teaching them and the whole family (except for the dad) came to the baptism and then they all showed up on Sunday at church! It was so heartwarming to see all of the family at church and hopefully their dad will come next week!
We had a lesson with a less active member and we read from the Book of Mormon with him and he was so happy and beaming as he told us that reading the Book of Mormon just made him feel so hype! (He said hype and he's like 65+ years old haha.) He was happy to talk with us and it goes to show the power of the Book of Mormon in our lives. As I've read it everyday for about the past 2 years I've grown closer to God and the influence of the Holy Ghost has grown stronger! The Book of Mormon is the word of God! Read it everyday! I promise you'll feel closer to Heavenly Father and you'll feel the power of Christ's Atonement as you do so and increased happiness
