I Udahn Men Kang Kidi

This week was so fast, I'm not even sure what happened.....We've been talking to a lot of people and really trying to find those prepared people! We found one awesome Investigator this week named Shylynn. She is 16 years old and we found her in our Area book and felt impressed to go visit her. When we showed up she told us that our recent convert Drisela is one of her best friends. Apparently Drisela has been asking Shylynn to please meet with the missionaries and to open up her heart so that she could feel the Holy Ghost. Also, since the missionaries last taught her, her father has told her that she can choose to be baptized if she wants. It was so amazing seeing all the little ways that Heavenly Father has been preparing her and preparing us to teach her! 

Part of the reason it feels like we didn't do that much this week is because we have been working on Sister James application to go to BYUH and have been preparing her to take the required English Test in a few weeks. Its hard taking time away from our investigators, but I so love getting to help Sister James prepare for the rest of her life. I know education is so incredibly important. It's amazing seeing how much this gospel and serving a mission has enabled Sister James to do so much more and have so many more opportunities! I feel so blessed to get to feel a piece of the love that I know Heavenly Father has for her. A lot of people here on Pohnpei are religious and so when we tell them "Koht udahn poakpoakeiuhk" (God really loves you), they almost always tell us "Poakpoakei koaros" (He loves us all). This is true that He does love us all, but it's sad to me that they don't understand that not only does He love all of us, but He loves all of us individually and He knows each of us individually. Its a deep and personal love that we can only truly begin to understand when we feel the Holy Ghost. And even those feelings are just a foretaste of what it will feel like when we are able to return and live with Him in eternal joy and love. THIS is why I'm out here, to help these people feel that perfect love.  

Love,

Sister Milne
