Dearest Family and Friends!!! I am once again honored for the small chance I have to report on an amazing week in which I and my two wonderful companions had! To start things off we were really looking forward to this week (because of the business coming) it is our only full week in our area. We hit the ground running and set some high goals!
Because President and Sister Granger went to New Zealand this week (For The Mission President Seminar) we were told that we would be basically babysitting the mission. Which honestly felt like a lot more pressure than your average toddler. But we were able to manage things without too much drama.
One of the most crazy experiences of this week would be my first time driving the Assistants which resulted in a car accident. Before I move further with the story... Yes Mom, everyone is fine. I am fine and no one was hurt. We were driving down the main road of Port Vila and a man decided to run a Stop Sign and T-Bone us as we were going through an intersection. The accident happened right next to the Police Station and were perfectly safe thanks to a Loving Father in Heaven who does protect His missionaries. The truck only took some damage to the bottom left side resulting in a large dent and the paint of the vehicle really scratched up. If you knew me before the mission you would know that I have never been pulled over or been involved in a car accident.... All the above has happened here in Vanuatu! I am not only have some crazy experiences but I am having a crazy awesome mission. This is truly the hardest thing I have ever done but I am loving it more and more as the days go by.
One of the best parts of this week would be a lesson we had with one of Elder Piol's and Elder Hable Recent Convert's Mom (who allowed her daughter "Nistancy" to be baptized but has not had much interest in the Gospel until now) We were able to get a lesson with her and pulled up a video on our phone about the Restoration of The Gospel. We all had silent prayers trying to do our best to have the spirit with us to soften her heart. After the video we allowed a few moments of silence, answered her questions, and bore our testimonies. The lesson and spirit have increased my testimony. Joseph Smith did see God The Father and His Son Jesus Christ. The Book of Mormon testfies of Christ and I add my testimony with the thousands of others who know of its great wisdom. We are so very blessed!!!
Well, today we are heading to New Caledonia!! I have spent 7 months in Vanuatu Andrew will be leaving for the very first time! We will be giving tranings, going on splits (teaching in French!!), and meeting the special Elders and Sisters of NC! Life is pretty exciting although we will have a lot of work to do. It's not so hard when the work so great and inspired!
Mother's Day Calls!!! Next Week is the week we have to honor our beautiful Mothers!! Mom, I love you! It is a wonderful day we have to honor woman especially the wonderful mothers that we have. In our mission we will be allowed phone calls on the day of Mother's Day. This will be Sunday for you and a Monday for me. Which means it is my P-Day! It is a requirement that you need to call me. I do know this might be expensive and I am sorry about that but if we get to talk I will be super excited. I wish even more that we could Skype but I will be thankful for what I have. Here are the phone calls. Just call anytime. If the time doesn't work you csm always call back!
Love you all so much!! :) I hope you all have had a wonderful week.
So much Love!!
