We had a really good Sunday yesterday.
We had four investigators show up this week to church. We were able to talk to one of them between meetings to see how he was
liking the service. He really believes that he was feeling the Holy Ghost. It
was so wonderful to see how much his testimony was strengthened by doing
something as simple as just coming to church. We really need the spiritual
nourishment that can only be found in the Church. I am so thankful for the
opportunity to be a part of these individuals lives as they are guided to the
truth through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Two who came were actually referrals that were given to us by the Goa 1st Ward elders last
transfer. It turns out that they had been to church in the first ward a few times,
and after we told them about the 2nd ward, they agreed to come to church in our
ward (as they are in our area) and as it turns out, our meeting time actually
works out better with their schedule anyway. They seemed to really enjoy coming
to church in our ward as well. They are about 10 and 12 years old. They
actually live in a really far area from the church, so it is expecially cool
that they make the long trip to the church.
The other person is doing really
great too. He has a hard time coming to church as well sometimes because he
lives really far from the church too, so this is the first time he's been to
church in two weeks. His girlfriend is also a member too, so that is really a
good motivation for him, I think. He is actually pretty young though. He turns
17 on the 19th. I think it would be really neat if he gets baptized. We really
could use more priesthood holders here in Goa 2.
Sounds like you guys
are getting started on a family mission plan too. I hope that you guys can have
a lot of success there. I know that our Heavenly Father will bless us as we
help him to hasten his work.
I love you tons!
Padangat ko kamung
maray!
