Hello to my Dear Family and Friends!!
I am again more than happy to report that it has been
another fantastic week! I am so grateful for the time, which I have to reside
in the beautiful islands of Vanuatu and with these even more beautiful people!
I am blessed further to have so many family and friends cheering me on.
This week has been a busy and we have done a lot of
contacting looking for more people to teach. As our dear Mission President says
the work can not start unless you find someone to teach. We have tried this
week to do just that. We have had much success and have found new people. We
found a a large family from the island of "Tongwa" and they are so
kind. Elder Hardy and I saw a new road in our area covered in thick Island Bush
(or grass) and decided to adventure. We were not sure what to say to this large
group of people we found in this village. Our favorite thing to do is to make
them laugh... Which Elder Hardy and I are pretty good at doing. We have found
we can laugh with the people and love them it makes the work even better!
While contacting down the Pot hole invested dirt roads
(surrounded by beautiful Island vegetation and flowers) of part of our area called Sweti we meet two
boys named Rico and Junior. When they first saw us about a week ago they asked
for a Book of Mormon (or Buk Blong Momon) We were surprised but gladly gave
them one. We decided to follow up and teach them about this special and true
book. We had a great lesson with them! They are actually huge fans of Soccer!
They asked me if I knew who Paul Pogba, Anotine Griezmann, Neymar, Christiano
Ronaldo, and many others. They were shocked when I told them yes and we had a
great talk about the beautiful game of Soccer! When we taught them we included
as much soccer terminology as we could into the lesson.
I have a testimony of this great and Restored church. It is
watched over by the good Shepard, who is The Lord Jesus Christ. Through His
living Prophet Russell M. Nielson he watches over his flock and desires all to
come unto Him. It is my great privilege and honor to be about His work. The work,
which is most important. It has been a great Easter Holiday to reflect on all
that He has done for us.
I love you all so much. Thank you for all the wonderful
birthday wishes which have made my day and already my week.
Love you all so much,
Elda LaMont, Your Alekken Ty, Shark Bait, Island Boy
Thank you so so much for the wonderful package from home!!! I love you so much!
I was reunited with a dear friend named Elder Bybee. He is
going home soon and this mission is going to miss him.
