1. We met a family with 4 special needs children on walking wednesday. We went back and had an amazing lesson, the mom considers herself to be a seeker in terms of religion and says she's ready to settle down spiritually. We were more than happy to assure her that she has found what she has been looking for. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and she asked, "Where can I get one?!"
2. We found a woman who is from Pohnpei. Her last name is Fredrick and she is from Kitti. There is an Elder that served with us last transfer on Pohnpei who is the only member in hi family. He is Elder Fredrick and he is from Kitti. When we mentioned this she opened up for the first time, he is in fact her nephew and we have now started to teach her.
3. We met a man who is from Pohnpei and he is married to a less active woman. He told us where he is from on pohnpei and I said " Thats a really long road, I only know one family that lives at the end of that road, their last name is Ludrick" the man replies "....I"M a Ludrick!" We will begin teaching him soon as well.
4. We met with the manager of our apartment to discuss some sewage problems and we discovered he is a pohnpeian and a member. He gave a list of tenants he has been "working on". With one nonmember family, he helped them get an apartment for their father who is a member, on the condition that they drive him to church every week. They have come to church 2 times so far and we just began teaching them on saturday. The man (whose father in law is the member) told us he had been thinking that he wanted us to teach his children and so when we asked if we could have a lesson it was an answer from God.
5. We met with a nice young man who said he was open to learn new things but that he was " a science guy" because "it just makes more sense". I was able to share that I love school, and that I will return to college after my mission to continue studying neuroscience, so I actually consider myself a "science girl". I assured him that God is the greatest scientist and that religion gives me far more understanding than just science alone. The spirit was very strong and I'm grateful Heavenly Father had prepared me to give him that special witness.
I know there is no such thing as coincidences, only divine design. I know I'm on guam for a special purpose, Heavenly Father has a work for me here. I'm grateful to be an instrument in His hand. I'm learning that Heavenly Father really can use me despite my weaknesses. In fact I think He likes it when I'm a little weak and broken, because it makes me rely more on Him. I love Him.
