tons of blessings this week

Sooo: there's a lady from Kiribati, a member of the church, who's
visiting!. Sooo, she
said she'd love to meet you even for a little bit, or if you guys
wanted to like eat somewhere, or go to a park or I don't know it's up
to you guys if you want to meet her and/or do something. Here's her
email, hopefully it all works out if you guys try to contact her:
 and yeah if you guys are busy don't worry, just if
it's convenient and you guys want to met her then you guys can set
something up or whatever!! Let me know if it works out or if you guys
have questions or anything!! Her name is N, she's good at
english, she's like 60 years old, she's traveling with one of her
friends, who is also from the church I think!
Anyway sorry I don't have tons of time, but this week has been
good!!!!!! We saw tons of blessings this week! We had a few
investigators who moved or things like that which was sad, but we saw
lots of blessings as well, one of our investigators, his and wife and
him got mad, and so she left him for a bit. We all imagined she would
return soon but still it was concerning. We lessoned on that when
we're tried we can grow and Heavenly Father can bless us even more. It
really was a blessing, we all prayed tons, and she was able to come
back yesterday! He learned the power of prayer and faith from the
experience. It's was a great lesson we had with the whole family that
night, they were all way happy.
I definitely know that when we pray and fast from our hearts and have
faith, Heavenly Father will definitely help us and guide us and answer
our prayers.
We had a way fun opportunity to do service this week as well, we
helped this new family with "yard work", their house is really swampy
and when it rains, it kind of floods their house/tent of sticks. So we
dug a huge hole that the rain could flow into and used the dirt to
raise their house upon. They just started lessoning recently. Another
amazing story is that they got a Book of Mormon. It rained, they were
way hungry, they were all mad. the wife, who's less active told the
husband that the reason they were in the situation they were was
because he wouldn't read and pray. Apparently that really made him
think. He went to the house, member of the church next to him, and
asked for money to take a bus to betio, she asked him why, he said to
try to get help from his extended family. She was like "e kaman
tuangai te tamnei ae e raoiroi" which pretty much means that she'd
already been prompted by the Holy Ghost that she should help. She gave
them diapers, rice, and sugar that she had already bought for them.
And insisted that they eat dinner with them that night. Apparently
that family was blessed even further that week as a random guy who
works at  a bread place randomly brought them a bag a bread, even
though he was drunk at the time hahaha.
Any way, as mom says at times,"Heavenly Father is so good". It's way
true, there's always gonna be trials in life, but if we just try to
press forward well see the sunny horizon eventually.
tranfers came by the way: I'm getting another half samoan daughter.
Same area. And our house is getting two more Elders!! That will make a
total of 14 Elders and 0 sisters in our district haha. Well, Love you
all!!!! Thanks again for the package mom!!!!! And everything!!! Happy
birthday again!!! Tia bo!! - Elder SEffker
