I do believe that today is St. Patricks day. If it's not, don't mind the subject of this weeks letter.
This week went well. It was rainy again. Monday was nice and sunny and that lasted until Thursday night. It has been cloudy and rainy ever since. Except today has been a little bit better. This week was full of adventures.
Tuesday we left the house a little before 10 to go get our ward missionary. Her name is Lara. She is a returned missionary who works with us almost everyday. She knows the ward very well. Tuesday she helped us find a new investigator who is her grandpa. He speaks only in Tahitian. I understand most of it but there are still a lot of words I don't understand. Then we had a lesson with another friend of Lara. Her name is Melody. She is 17 or 18 and lives on one of the outer islands that surrounds Bora. Tuesday was a successful day.
Wednesday we had 10 lessons planned and had to do a split in order to do all the lessons. But the split didn't work out. We ended up doing 7 lessons any way, so all in all it was good. We had a lesson with Naomi. This lesson was rough. She told us that her mother in law would kick them out of the house that Naomi built on the property of the Mother in law if they got baptized. NO!! It was really hard to hear that. But we talked with her and did what we could.
Thursday was good. We worked all day and Lara helped us find another new investigator. We had a lesson with the little sister of Naomi, her name is Rachelle or Rachel in English. She is supposed to be baptized the 31 of May but in this lesson she told us she wanted to push it back until next year. NO!! We talked and we will do what we can to keep her baptism. She has problems with the word of wisdom and she doesn't believe that she can get over them. But we know that with the Savior she can do it.
Friday I gave the lesson for our district meeting. We talked about Christlike attributes being related to the amour of God in Ephesians 6. It was good until the internet wouldn't work anymore. We have to use skype to contact the sisters on the other island in our district. After we fixed the internet we finished quickly and headed out for our lessons. We had a lesson with Naomi that lasted a really long time just talking about everything.
Saturday and Sunday were good. There was a lot of rain and wind that made things difficult. But we did what we could.
It has been decided that the church is good enough to enter. Normally this week we will open it. There is still dirt but they will block that off.
I know this church is true. Christ can heal us. I love you!
Love,
Elder Squires
