Everyone was safe, no serious damage or injuries. If anything it brought people together as the ward reached out to a lot of investigators and members in need.
The best part of the week was that Joses got baptized! So now they are a family in the Gospel and in one year they will be able to go to the temple and be sealed. When we showed up with the elders to do his baptismal interview, we were really worried because he was no where to be found. We were afraid that he had gone out with his bad friends and was chewing beetle nut again, but then it turns out he was helping his neighbor mix cement:) Also he shared his testimony in our gospel essentials chuukese class and it was so sweet to see him smile and tell us what it felt like to be so clean. It was even cuter seeing his wife beam as he talked.
Update on Alice, our struggling but faithful friend: she got a JOB!! But her manager wont let her have Sundays off...so we are praying she will be able to find a new job. But we we're super proud of her for having the courage to even ask to be able have Sundays off so she could go to church.
I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be a child of God. I've concluded that it means we are all special and unique because we all really do have so many different things to give and offer the world. We can't compare and contrast ourselves and others because God has an individual plan for each of us and the only people who can know and understand that plan is ourselves and God. I love being a child of God. I love seeing what His plan is for me. He keeps revealing bits and pieces to me a little at a time. He loves me so much and I love me so much and I love all of YOU so much!!
