Sup family!
This week was pretty nuts. We exchanged with the
assistants and with E. Susi/E. Sae-dan. Busy stuff. We switched
with the assistants Monday night until Tuesday, then went to Bangkabi Wednesday
morning to exchange with those elders. Friday was E. Campbell's first
full day in the area all week!
Force Fed: Monday night we went to visit a less active
member and his family. We had hoped we were going to eat with his family.
Only he and his wife were there. They fed us some bizarre stuff
too. It tasted ok though...for the most part. After eating there we
went to the branch president's house where we were fed again. They had
tons of food. It was a struggle to get it all down. After finishing
the plate of rice I moved to sit next to my companion by the fruit selection.
This sister took it upon herself to peel fruit for me. Lots of it.
I would still be chewing one piece when she would hand me another one.
It was a fruit frenzy! I wasn't sure if I should eat faster to keep
up with her or slow down so she would stop. Oh the stresses of being a
missionary. In the end I told her I couldn't possibly eat anymore and she
stopped.
Picnic in the park: I was on exchanges with E. Sae-dan.
We went to this park to find some new investigators. We found a playground
and talked to the parents watching their kids play. It was perfect
business. We saw this couple sitting on a nearby hill playing with their
newborn. We started to approach them. When the man spotted us he
called us over. Yeah buddy. Then he asks the money question.
"Are you the Christians that believe in eternal marriage?"
Yes, yes we are. So we sat down and chatted with him and his wife
about families and eternal marriage. Then we invited them to church. The
Lord truly prepares people. The field really is white, ready to harvest.
Well I love you all lots! Keep on keepin' them
covenants! You got nothing to lose and eternity to gain.
