It was funny hearing about Dad's and Rhys's hunting trip, also a bit worried about Mum's trip to the hospital but I'm glad everything is fine. And Vaughan... I love you too.
Things have been good this week, Its been a little bit of a struggle since we are new to the ward, not yet familiar with people, however, having dinner with families will help out there. Currently we have very few investigators, so we have been doing a lot of tracting.
We had some great success in this one house. We were originally going to teach just this one couple, Ten Jihu and Nei Jiji. We introduced our selves, explained a little of what we do as missionaries, l opened in prayer and started teaching. As we just got started teaching we had two girls walk up to the house with one saying "This girl wants to take lessons". The other was a less active member. So I was like "No problem". I thought it was important before we continued the lesson we already had going with Jihu and Jiji, that we introduce ourselves to the the new comer, who's name was Nei Bunterenga. After introductions we were about to continue the lesson when the less active girl comes back with another guy who wants to listen to the lesson, so for the third time we introduced our selves and finally got on with the lesson. We all got on well with each other and they invited us back for lessons as well as dinner on Tuesday night. It was sweet, and they're all couples and that's what we want.
So yeah, that's how the work is right now, it's not hard finding people who are happy to listen, the only problem is finding people who want to investigate . Just wish we received more referrals from members, which is tough since we don't know the members yet. Little by little.
So i'll see what I can do about Grandad's birthday thing, i'll send it next week. A'ight, love ya'lls
