Letter and Pictures - Week 49

This week has been good. We had a good week of proselyting this week. We've been led to more fathers and families as we've prayerfully sought to find such. One of my favorite lessons this week was actually just last night after the Book of Mormon Fireside by the Herringtons on Sunday evening. We had a couple investigators that said they were going to be there just earlier that same day but unfortunately they didn't come. It was a good fireside. After we took the Perez' (A young Mexican couple) out with us to Janelle. She is great. She had some doubts about the afterlife and about eternal families and how they are sealed together. We went over a great talk from a Liahona with her about the Plan of Salvation that listed all the questions that you could think of about life after death and answered them. Janelle also had worries of never finding someone to marry after being scarred before. With the Perez' there together as a couple they were able to bear powerful testimony about eternal families and the hope and happiness in the future. It was great for Janelle. The spirit was there and her doubts and her concerns were able to be resolved. She also has questions about what happens after baptism and what it's like to be a member and we gave her the learning and serving in the church pamphlet that we will go over next time. She is building in her testimony and I think that she will be baptized soon. We are going to try to set a date with her next time. Odellia the recent convert who has been struggling with family matters came to church again. That was great. Today we played soccer as a zone. The Herrington's came to watch. You'll probably see pictures on the mission page or something. It was really fun. The field was muddy again from the rain this morning and it was just like last time where we were slipping and sliding all over. It was a fun time. I'm really muddy right now as I'm writing this email just so you know :). We were able to sit down and talk with Elder Nixon and Elder Arzu with a one on one this week and it was really good. I sat with Elder Arzu and Elder Kuru with Elder Nixon. We talked and counseled together to work through some issues. Afterward we were able to sit with president Herrington who happened to be at the church at the time for a little chat. It was good. We visited with Porsha again and finished teaching about the gospel of Jesus Christ. She really understood well about Baptism, the Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End. She is working towards baptism and trying to prepare herself. Hopefully next week she will come to church with her daughter Kelsha who is 12 or 14. No one came to church again. We have many like Teige and Marie, Marie, and others who committed themselves to coming next week so I'm really hoping. Especially since next Sunday is probably my last here in St. Lucia. I love you all so much and hope you have a great week!

 

Love,
Elder King

 

We had MLC this week! It was great! We talked a lot about finding new people to teach and so Elder Kuru and I will be teaching zone mtg. tomorrow on that topic and President and Sister Herrington will be there. This is a picture of the mission home all set up for MLC from the skype at the computer at the church where Elder Kuru and I were able to listen in and participate. I love MLC. The spirit is strongly felt and I learn so much.

 

 

Now there's people in the photo at the mission home :)

 

 

Studying hard :) I love the scriptures. They are true and the promised blessing are real as you read them. The more I read each and every day the more I love them.

 

 

At the church in Castries with Elder Kuru. The MLC last from 9:00-1:00. It's a long time but it goes by fast.
