My dear family and friends! I am so thankful again for another
chance to email you! This week has gone by so fast for both Elder Hardy and I.
I hope and pray you are all enjoying life. Life has been busy here getting
ready for Zone Conference this week. We have been coordinating getting water
bottles, setting up chairs, and making sure everything else will be in order. I
am thankful for the times I have watched my parents pull off events/parties. I
did not realize how much I have learned from the by just watching!
One of the best experiences this week for this week was
making my first Baptismal Interview. Becoming a Zone Leader means that we have
plenty of chances to make Baptismal Interviews. As I went to make my first one
I became very nervous and unsure of how to conduct it. I prayed for help and
told myself Heavenly Father would provide a way. As I went into the interview I
was surprised how comfortable I felt.
For each interview I had I grew a love for each person and desired to
help them understand the great blessing of baptism.
This week we have continued to contact and find new people
to teach. Elder Hardy and I often like to use simple magic tricks in order to
talk and make friends with all of the kids. We have been able to find even more
people to teach! Here is a picture of us with a boy we meet named Troy. He
showed us Star Fruit! It is very delicious and reminds a lot of Fresh
Raspberries at my Grandma's House. One of the things I love most about the
people here in Vanuatu is how they love to laugh. They remind me a lot of words
from the Prophet Gordon B. Hinckly. He always taught that life is not just to
be endured but to be enjoyed. The people here have taught me more of the
importance of enjoying the journey.
Our Father in Heaven has given us this life to enjoy. He
loves us and wants us to enjoy every moment. Life is good! Thank you all once
again for your support, love, and prayers.
Much love,
