On tuesday we picked up 4 new sisters from the airport! 3 from vanuatu and 1 from fiji. They are all converts and they all have giant testimonies and desires for goodness and obedience. Holy cow I love them so much. Working with the new missionaries is such a blessing. We had lots of meetings for them to get them all the things they need. We had 2 of the sisters living with us for the week, but now just one.
Our baptism had to be pushed back due to something called a "tropical depression" which is when the weather is really sad and gloomy or something like that.... so Charity will be baptized this next saturday! She is doing wonderfully.
We are working really hard with Pwipwi to get her married and baptized. She loves when we come and the spirit is SO STRONG each time we testify about how the gospel will help her has she becomes a mom. (She is 4 months pregnant).
We have been praying a lot for new prepared people to teach and saturday we felt impressed to visit a chuukese family in the ward. There was an aunt and a niece that had both moved in the night before. The aunt had been taught by missionaries before and really wants to be baptized! They both came to church the next day and we are so grateful for God putting them in our path.
Alos, Sister Mauga started and finished her driving class and I'm so proud of her:) Hahaha she's way annoyed that she has to learn how to drive all over again because we drive on the opposite side of the road. But she's putting in the work to get her license because she doesn't want to go off Island.
Saturday night, we were passing some other sisters apartment on the way back down from the driving school. So we stopped by their apartment to bring them ice cream from mcdonalds, but they were so scared when we knocked. They didn't open for like 5 minutes, but we heard them shuffling around. Sister Petrus (from chuuk) yelled "WHO ARE YOU?" and then when she finally opened the door after we replied she had a knife in her hand. It was so funny, but also I felt really bad for scaring them. I guess they have been flashed several times in the past 2 weeks while out walking and have a had some other things happen so they were under strict direction from President to not open the door if anyone knocks.
I know we are not supposed to get content in the gospel because we need to be constantly progressing, but I feel so content and happy with where I'm at! I wish it could stay like this forever, but that's not what God wants so I will keep working to better understand His will for me. His plan is always better than my plan and it has never once in my entire life not worked out and been okay in the end.
