Dearest Family and Friends,
What a joy it is to think of you and have this opportunity
to email and to think of you beautiful people!
I would also like to wish you all a Happy Star Wars Day! May
the 4th Be With You all!! Got to love Star Wars. As my wise Father has pointed
out many times Star Wars has many similarities to the Book of Mormon. :D
Cool moment for me has been speaking Bislama! Since being
with Elder Mallarme I feel my Bislama has sky rocketed! I have also been
learning many different island languages. One of the most popular languages in
our area is from the island of Tongwa. I am getting close to having short
conversations in this difficult language. I love it! The Gift of tongues is
real! Fun story for you! I got a phone call Saturday night from some Elders.
They informed me that some Members from South Africa needed a translator for
church tomorrow. I told them I would be happy to act as their translator. It
turns out this member is actually a member of the South African Government. She
shared a powerful testimony during Sacrament in explaining how a toothpaste she
travels with all the time was taken away from her. This resulted in her needing
for her to go and buy some where she meet the Elders who called us. She
testified strongly how Our Father in Heaven is aware of even our smallest needs
and provided her with a translator. I was happy to be a part of her miracle! :)
I testify too that Our Father knows and Loves us Personally. How cool huh?! No
one taught it better than His son Jesus Christ! Mattew 10:29-31
A quick story I would like to share about working with the
Senior Sisters! I was like a kid in a chocolate store when I heard they were
coming!! So Excited those angles are among us! We woke up early to work with
them. One of people we had said we could go and see is a lady by the name of
Nancy Harry. She has not come to church for over a year. Struggling with health
problems (Not able to eat and walk. Only really able to drink water and lay in
her home) and not a full understanding of Faith and repentance has kept her
form the Love Our Father extends to us
form Church worship and renewal of our Sacred Covenants. As we went The Senior
Sisters worked their magic. Full of love and powerful words they helped Nancy
to know Church attendance would bless her. They then invited us along with the
Stake President to give her a blessing. Sister Talataina (One of the Senior
Sisters) reminded me that through God all things are possible. As we gave the
blessing I felt a prompting to command her to be made whole through her faith
in Jesus Christ. After the blessing, we ran to the local store in our area to
get the family some food and extra water. When we returned we witnessed the
power of God. Nancy was walking around the house with the biggest smile you
have ever seen. She came running to us (and I really mean almost running) and
started to thank us. Our reply was, " This was not us. Our Father in
Heaven is responsible for this marvelous miracle. Thank Him." I testify
God is a God of Miracles. Through Faith in Christ all things truly are
possible! My joy is filled to witness these things and to be reminded that Our
All knowing Father really is aware of us, His Children.
I love you all. I love to hear from you. I pray for you and
feel your prayers my way. Know our Father in Heaven loves you and stands ready
to bless us all through His Only Begotten Son, The Lamb of God, even Jesus
Christ. Keep going strong! Dare to stand alone my loved ones! Take shame for
His name and serve all you can! I testify as His Servant, that The Lord Jesus
Christ will soon come. We must stand ready!!!
Much Love To All of you,
Elder LaMont/ Shark Bait/ Island Boy/
