Hey! Wow it feels like I was just emailing yesterday! Time is going so fast! This week has been a busy week! Our mission president came to Pohnpei and so we had lots of meetings with him! Here is a little run down of how the week went:
Tuesday: We had a meeting with the zone leaders about the meeting that we would have with President Poston, during the meeting President called and said that he wanted us to come and get them when they land on Wednesday and take them to a missionaries mom who lives in our ward! Ha the Elders were a little up set that it wasn't them! So we drove the hour drive back to our area and proselyted for the rest of the day!
Wednesday: Headed to the hotel that President Poston would be staying at and they drove us back to our area so that we could take them to Sister William, the missionaries mom. We arrived at her house and it was a neat experience, we were translating for them and it was cool to feel the love that they had for her son! (Mission Presidents love is so real!) We left and he offered to take us to dinner so we joined them and by the time we got back to our area it was already 8! Ha we spent the whole day with President and Sister Poston! It was so nice to be able to talk to them! It makes you feel like your almost with your own family!
Thursday: We had Zone Conference at 9 and finished at 5pm! It was a long day! Then we went home and had a lesson with on of our investigators named Mayoleen it was really cool after the lesson she was the one that said she was going to come to church.. and she was going to start WALKING there! It was so awesome!
Friday: We had interview with President Poston and then had another meeting with him about the areas and then once again he took us all out to lunch! So once again we got home late and did our weekly planning and then went and taught Mayoleen again!
Saturday: Finally we were able to see Kathrene! We were having a lesson with her and something just seemed off! And as soon as she saw her mom she told us that her mom doesn't want her going to church with us anymore and that she can no longer get baptized because she went to church last week and her baby got sick! She was so upset! We talked and told her that there were angles on both sides helping her and that our families at home were praying for her she just started crying! Oh man I just love her so much! I have never seen an investigator so prepared and so willing to do things!
Sunday: We headed to go and make sure that Kathrene and Mayoleen were ready for church and we get to Kathrenes house and she is already walking down the hill and she says.."my mom doesn't know i am going to church with you so i need to be back at 12" ahaha i looked at her and was like really?! Man this girl she has so much Faith and desire! Then we drive down the road a little bit and there is Mayoleen she is already walking! Oh man, everything worked our so smoothly! it was a miracle!
I am so grateful for this opportunity that i have to serve a mission! I love Pohnpei and my pohnpeians! I am grateful for this gospel and the many blessing that come from it! I love you all and hope you have a great week!
Love,
Sister Bowers
