Hello again everyone!
What a long week! This
week our P-Day was moved to Wednesday so that we could attend the temple. While
I do not at all complain about attending the temple, not having P-day on
Monday sure makes for a long week!
Well, to be honest I
cannot say that anything super exciting happened to Elder Tobe and me this
week. Mostly we spent time tracting and looking for new people to teach the
gospel to. On Sunday we had the opportunity to teach a brief discussion to a
family from Zimbabwe that we found. They were very kind and friendly to us.
After presenting to them a brief message about the restoration of the gospel,
they asked us for information on where our church meets and what time. We gave
them a pamphlet for the restoration of the gospel, and they said they would
read it and contact us after they had read it. While I would normally feel like
that was a bummer, I really felt strongly like they are looking for the
fullness of the gospel in their lives. Elder Tobe and I are going to follow-up
with them this week, rather than wait for them to contact us.
On Thursday evening, one
of the oldest members of the Redcliffe ward--Sister Nana Aiono--passed away. It
seems like about half of the Polynesian members in the ward are in some way
related to her. Last night we had the opportunity to attend her funeral
service. I must say I have never been to a funeral like it! Elder Tobe and I
had to leave after about 2.5 hours of the service, and they weren't quite done
with all of the speakers! However, it was really cool to see the island
traditions mixed in with the service.
Well, I hope that
everybody has a great week! I love you all!
Elder Rosier
