This week has been pretty good. We've been crazy, extra busy lately. It seems like every day we had a lot of stuff going on. Mostly just a lot of lessons and other good stuff, so it has been good.
We did a service project for this part-member family we're working with--the mom, Maiu'u, is getting baptized this upcoming week. We have high hopes for this family however, only the one daughter is a member--the rest aren't. But the service was good. We just helped them build the foundation for their home...mostly just digging a ton of dirt. It was nice to do some manual labor. However, we definitely enjoyed it.
We have 7 investigators working towards baptismal dates right now, with 2 of them getting baptized this weekend. We also have 3 marriages planned for this upcoming week, so it's going to be great to see all this stuff go down. The work is definitely picking up a lot. We're way excited for this upcoming month. And we're hoping to commit a few more to receive as baptismal date.
Also this week I had the chance to go to a legit Samoan funeral. One of the elders in our zone had a grandfather die, so we did a split and him and I drove to the other side of the island to Fale'ula to go to the funeral. It was really interesting, and of course pretty sad. They have a lot of interesting cultural stuff they do at funerals which was kind of cool to see.
We've just been pretty much just nutso busy busy lately. I'm stoked for P-day so we can chill a little bit. But that's all I got for this week. The miracles are getting better and better as the time goes by. I can tell the Lord definitely has a reason for keeping me here a little longer.
