Emailing with Sister Fehoko |
Hey everyone this week was good! I was able to go out with
Sister Russell and go teaching because our companions were sick! We were
teaching one of our new investigators named Shon! He is a 67 year old man who
is blind. We were teaching him and invited him to be baptized! He says yes and
he said that it is so important that we all get baptized! Oh man it was such a
good lesson! He i a man of so much faith! I have never seen someone with so
much faith before! Then we go back the next day and he says "Wait can i
still get baptized if i am not married?" Sister Russell look and each
other thinking uhhh not again! Because it is hard to get people married here on
pohnpei! So we talk to him and he tells us that him and his wife don't sleep
together don't live together, they just hang out during the day, so we tell him
that we will call our mission president after the lesson to see if he could get
baptized. Before we left we invited him to come to church the next day! He said
yes! So its sunday morning, we went and woke him up and had called our branch
president to see if he could go and pick him up and he said he would. We were
sitting in our church building and it was 9:05 and we just started sacrament I
began to pray "Please let him come please!" and then i looked at the
door and i see Sohn and his grandson guiding him to the building, yes tears
were running down! Oh i have never felt so happy! Sacrament meeting was soo
good! Then during Sunday school i was able to sit with him and in the middle of
the sunday school lesson he leans over to me and says "Did you talk to
your president to see if i can get baptized?" Oh man i was so happy i told
him that he could he was so happy!
I wanted to share this experience with you all that
even when we feel we are in dark times imagine Sohn shut your eyes and put all
your faith in Heavenly Father he will lead you! I am so grateful for the
opportunity that i have to meet Sohn and to have him change my life! Even when
we walk up to his house that is on the hill in the jungle, surrounded by rocks
i think to my self and even sometimes try to shut my eyes and walk like Sohn I
think how does he do this and then it comes its because he has FAITH. So this
week be like Sohn and have faith :)
I hope that you are all doing well! Have a great week!
Love and miss you!!! Thanks for all the support!
