MARAUTAKA NA SIGA NI SUCU!!!
How was everyone’s Christmas?! I hope it was wonderful and filled with family and the spirit. I know mine was! It was so wonderful to talk with my family on Christmas. To all you I didn’t get to talk to, know that I love you and wish I had enough time to Skype each of you!!! There’s soooo much work here!! The problem is church attendance right now. Most of our investigators live far from the chapel, so it’s hard to get them there and find fellow-shippers. We’ve started a few units, but it’s not the same with only 2 or 3 people each Sunday. Actually yesterday we went to a member’s house for unit sacrament. He’s paralyzed and hasn’t been able to come to church for 15 years!! I think everyone forgot about him out in the bush. We had a tiny meeting at his house, with his siblings (all adult non members who only speak Hindi ) and two of my investigators. We sat on the floor, his brother had his shirt off the whole time, there were chickens running in and out, and we didn’t have any sacrament cups so we used a few cracked mugs. There weren’t even enough for us missionaries to participate. But surprisingly it was one of the most spiritual sacrament meetings I’ve been to. We had a wonderful OYM a few weeks ago, and we visited her friday night. It turns out her husband is a Pentacostal pastor and she’s super strong! The whole time she was looking to convert us. After we shared with her she said she felt bad that we didn’t know the truth and shared about the trinity and some other stuff. We already told her we would come back tonight and now her husband and the whole fam will be there. It should be interesting.
This is what I got, I’ll send my letter to president too. :P sorry!! By-the-way, during that service project I got to 'wele wele' a.k.a. cut the grass with a huge k-knife! and start a tei-tei of cassava. There are some exciting pictures on the way. Also, next week we will be driving to Savusavu for our zone meeting. We get to stay in a hotel ‘cuz were the only sisters hahaha!! I’ve heard the view is gorgeous and we will be doing some shopping there so I’m not sure how emailing will be. If you don’t hear from me on time, don’t freak out :D
