Letter and Pictures - Week 36

Hey family!

General Conference was amazing!! Kevin and Joan came! Both loved it. It was Joan's first time. She thought the wrong time and came at the end of the Sunday morning session so she waited the two hours to watch the afternoon session. She planned on leaving after the first hour but she enjoyed it more than she thought and stayed the whole time. My favorite talk would be Elder Holland's talk about the love that Heavenly Father has and how he just wants us to keep on trying. It was great. We had a good week. We went on a couple trade offs with Elder Powell and Elder Wallentine and also Elder Hardy and Elder Merritt. We contacted the whole day with Elder Merritt. We had a good couple of lessons with Elder Wallentine. We taught a less active about Alma ch. 5. It was Alma asked these great inspired questions on if we have been baptized and if we have felt the joy of the gospel. And if we have then can we feel so now? It then testifies of how the Savior is inviting all to come unto him so we can feel of his love and partake in the goodness of his infinite atonement. It's a great chapter to read and then ask and respond to the questions yourself. I love you all! I love the Savior! I love his glorious gospel! I love how through it I can return to live with my loving Heavenly Father with all of you! Have a great week!

 

Love,

Elder King

Proselyting with Kevin! He is doing well. We are working hard to prepare for his baptism on Saturday! For proselyting here in St. Lucia it's different than in the states. There is a lot more reception to us here. It's great to get referrals from members. It's what we hope to receive from them. We try to talk with everyone that we can to share about the message of the restored gospel. With that we come across many that we begin teaching.

 

                                                               STORY TIME :)

So we found these pigs....

 

So we took them...

 

 

With us... In the car...

 

 

To the beach...

 

 

We decided to make a fire...

 

 

And... Roast the pigs...

 

 

It was a good time...

 

 

Some of us played games...

 

 

While the islanders (Elder Moli, Elder Lameta, Elder Ropati, and Elder Topou) made the preparations...

 

I got to hold the pig...

 

 

It turned out pretty well.... This is a basket made out of a palm leaf by Elder Ropati... Elder Moli cut it all up and everyone ate... It was really good....

 

 

Here is a cool pic.... Oh and since we cooked the whole pig.... There were other parts of the pig we were able to try... So... I tried the tongue.... And ... the brain...  :) The tongue was good.... The brain was not...

 

All in all... It was a great day at the beach... The End.
