Kia Ora Whanau(family)!!!!
Well for me, this past week was good as always! There are never bad days as a missionary! Only opportunites to grow and overcome opposition!! It was a good week though. We are just sticking to it
and trying to teach people about the Gospel.
Do you remember sister whetu? that lady we baptized back in december? Well she is awesome!! She like wants her whole family to join the church and is giving us heaps of people to go see and teach.
She is an awesome missionary! We are now teaching her two nephews and one of her husbands cousins, and there are even more people she wants us to go teach. Its really cool though to see how much
she has changed. I mean she still has some things she is trying to do better on like her language and such but she comes to church every sunday with her husband and kids, reads her scriptures and
they have family home evening! Its so cool. I mean we were able to save that family. Brother Whetu now has a calling in the young mens and gave a talk in chruch last sunday. I really love this gospel.
It really does bring our families lasting peace and happiness.
Besides that we have a mission conference this friday and have the opportunity to meet an apostle, Elder Cook!! It really look forward to listening to what he has to say to us.
The work is going good here, our companionship is doing better even though there are some bumpy patches at times but we are doing good. Elder Jolliffee is going home pretty soon and he is pretty trunky.
He still wants to work but not like as hard as i'd like too. This week we are going to hit it hard and find more people to teach.
Well thats all for now. Hope you like the pics i sent!! They show that one day we got drenched while working in the rain and also how much food we got one day from members!!!
Love you heaps,
Elder Rawlinson
