This week we have
done a lot of visiting Less Actives and trying to wrap out heads around this
area. You would think by the time 2 transfers is in the making we would know
how to spend our days most effectively but we really don't. Tracting gets us a
lot of "Oh you're Jehovah Witnesses huh?" and "We all worship
the same guy (Points to the sky) we just call it different things." Yeah
like priesthood authority and no priesthood authority. No worries I am always
very Christ-like ;) But it really has been difficult and I feel like I am
making no progress but our mission President said in his email to me this week,
" It is often the best missionaries (like you) who are the hardest on
themselves. Each day look for what is, and not what isn't. Also, as you have a
desire to "do more," I would refer you to the Source that give the
best guidance. Pray diligently, listen for the gentle promptings, and then
follow them. You will be amazed at how Father in Heaven will guide you when you
actively listen." Simple guidance but something I needed this week :)
We had 2 baptisms
this week, boys named Sam and Justice who we have been teaching and it's has
been fun to use my creative teaching side to come up with ideas about
teaching the different gospel principles and lessons. I gave the talk on
baptism and then after the baptism we had our ward Trunk or Treat. A couple of
our investigators came and we took lots of great pictures :) We carved a
pumpkin for Sister Sogas birthday and Halloween and had a booth in church for
the Young Women Program (Like the Primary program).
I hope all
continues to go well with work and I feel your prayers every night, thank
you for everything
Alofa atu,
Sister Bowen
