Letter and Pictures - Week 39

This week has been really good. Elder Kuru and I have been getting along great. We love serving together. He is a really hardworking missionary and he is helping me grow more. After hearing about transfers Elder Moli and I went and said goodbyes to our investigators. They miss Elder Moli. He is a good missionary. This Sunday was great. The meeting was really good and great talks were given. We had two investigators, Janelle and Shenelle, come to church and Kevin administered the sacrament for his first time. He did great. He received the priesthood last week. Well I'm out of time because I was busy sending photos but I hope you all enjoy them. I love you all! Take care and have a blessed week.

Love,

Elder King

This is Janelle and Luke. She is 27 and he is 4. We recently started to teach her and she is doing really well. She came to church this Sunday and really enjoyed it. She has a boyfriend named Calvin who we also started to teach after being referred to him by Michael who is Calvin's friend and Calvin and Janelle don't live too far from him. She is Catholic. Luke is a ball of fun. He is such a great kid.  

This is Odellia. She recently was baptized. She loves coming to church and the happiness it brings her. She is awesome.

This is Alma. We were able to figure out a good day for her so we can visit her. She got Sunday's off so now we are going to be teaching her on Sundays. We are trying to coordinate with Shatal too so we can teach both of them.

This is Villia who is Alma's sister. We've been helping her work through keeping the word of wisdom and keeping the law of chastity. She has strong desires to follow christ and be baptized and she is willing to work toward and live these laws. 

This is Joan, her mother, and her 2 year old baby girl. They are doing well. She is reading her book of mormon and praying about baptism. 

This is Candice and her kids. We haven't been able to meet with her much, but we will. 

We had some smores on our last night together. It was Elder Moli's first time having it and he liked it.

This is Shenelle. She came for her third time this Sunday. She is doing really well. The Sister's area has closed and now we took over the sister's area. It's good to be able to still teach Shenelle. 

Some of the kids playing cricket. 

Elder Kuru and I right after his arrival into St. Lucia. He has really been enjoying his time here. We are getting along really well. Our teaching is going great together. It's really fun to teach with him. The spirit is really strong and powerful when we teach.

This is where we Elders love to eat out at. It is a Philipino restaurant that we call pino. They have good food. We ate here one last time with the Elders leaving.

We had a really fun branch activity on Saturday. Both branches combined and came together for a great time. We played games had food and good times together. It was good to see the members again down in Vieux Fort.
