Richard and Sally's baptism.We are starting week 3 in this transfer and time is flying by. I can't believe it is time for another p-day.
Ok you ready for the craziness I've experienced this week? marshallese are crazy first of all then try to add doing all of marshallese and then also on top of that doing tongan work. wow CRAZY!!
Richard and Sally: We visited them everyday to prepare them for Saturday, their baptism. Everything was going great, they were reading, learning, feeding us, and playing lots. It was really good then the day before the baptism we go over... this is where Satan comes in. She had gone to the hospital the night before because she was so sick. Couldn't move and didn't know what to do. So we went looking for some nice young men to come give her a blessing.
Ok I need to add part of the story on wednesday the Senior couple that is going to help us with the Marshallese Branch arrived. They are fabulous tons of fun and we just think it is going to be a great transfer with them. ok they wanted to come out with us to get to know the marshallese people. We planned Friday Night because we also had to go to basketball for the marshallese boys. So we decided I could go with the Stephans (SR couple) and Sis Fangupo and Takilang could stay at basketball. ok back to the story...
The Stephans called and I ended up going with them to see some people while we were waiting for the Members to come home so they could give a blessing. We visited some investigators and it was lots of fun. Then we ended with Richard and Sally. We found out the she went and came back with a perscription for anti-biotics. She had a(n) UTI and didn't have any money or a ride to get the perscription. We were talking with them teaching them and reading the scriptures. The Stephans are amazing by the way. Then I talked with Sally and she was crying because she thought she wouldn't be able to get baptized the next day. And she wants to be a good Christian following Christ and couldn't if she wasn't baptized. She is so great I love her to death. The members came and gave her a blessing and the blessing said she would not be healed but she will be strong enough to overcome satan and go to the baptism.
She and her Husband are now baptized into the Church but they are not members... not yet... they woke up late for church and didn't make it to sacrament meeting. They made it to the other classes and did great but they need an alarm clock so they can make it nezt weeek. When we went they were in the shower gettign ready to come to church and so it's hard but they will be there early next week they said. That is the crazy marshallese. I love them to death.
other than that not a lot happened because Sis Fangupo had a tooth ache and a few doctors appts to get those teeth ripped out of her face. So she was in sick a couple times. but that is ok this week is going to make up for it we are going to see lots of new investigators and stuff. We have a lot of investigators and now we just need to figure out what their concerns are so we can get them to come to church I don't get it they say they will come and then they don't. I will never give up never those marshallese will be filling up the chapel before we know it.
We also celebrated Father's Day in the Marshallese Branch and it was tons of fun. Thewives have this funny song they sing to tease their husbands. They are some of the funniest people i've ever met. I love this little branch with all my heart. I'm gonna miss it when I'm gone
Well time is short so have a great week and I will talk to you next week and thanks for all the letters and email updates I appreciate it so much it was a good week. i love you all
Love SIster Holt
Be happy and keep smiling
