WE had this double baptisms this weekend with a 27 year old
guy names Ioane and then a 17 year old who I have an envisionment of
him serving in Arizona like 3 years from now for his mission and I will
spoil the crap out of him!!!! I may make it hard form him to do the work
though but thats okay He'll know how much I love him. It was cool
weekend! The week on the other hand was just busy busy busy due to
lessons and lessons and more lessons to teach. But that was the fun
stuff all week because teaching in samoan is pretty fun and especially
being called to call people to repentance. Its terrifying and hard but
man oh man does it feel good when WE do it Gods way through the spirit
of Prophecy and the spirit of revelation. Its so cool! We've got a lot
of people we just have to bold with and that's really just the way to
treat samoans when it comes to conversion into the Church of Christ
because because the Culture is such a big interference with things that
we can't do much less than just tell them straight! :) Stressfull but
its all about living according to the code of the priesthood. Its the
only way. Reproving be times with sharpness but then having a increase
of love fr them. Its the way to go.
We also got yelled at by
our bishop for subbing for a seminary class one afternoon last week that
never actually happened because none of the class showed up... It was
weird and now the issue is all solved but He just told us that's not our
work to be doing and that He is our authority so we just listen to what
he says and we do it... Just go and preach he says. I like the last
part he said because its the most true. It sounds pretty weird because
it is but its really funny and a lot of other emotions at times while working with Samoan church leaders but I do enjoy it and God is just
teaching us tons through them. I'm just glad that I've got elder Sewell as
my backbone because this Guy is just bold and doesn't play around when
someone is in the wrong. Its made me glad that he's not fluent in Samoan
because He might of caused a ruckus here and there but the funny thing
is he would have been right. I love it.
So long story short
mommy Jones is that I'm great. The work is progressing and Elder Sewell
and I are having a great time together.
PLUS!!!!! elder Redd says Hi!!! I love ya mommmy Jones!
Love your son!!!!!!
Elder Jones
