This week it rained a good amount. On Wednesday we had just finished a lesson where we engaged a young boy to be baptized this Saturday (still waiting parental accord) and started off to our next lesson when we saw the rain clouds approaching. Right after we finished our next lesson the rain came down. And it came down hard. We hid at the church and asked a member to take us to our next lesson. The member was nice but the rain didn't calm for a while. Then on Friday morning my companion and I woke up at 2 am because of the sound of rain. It was so strong that we had both been woken up. But luckily the rest of the week was better with only little sprinkles here and there.
So, for the activities. In the past week we have hiked to the top of Tubuai not once but twice, and today we played a good few hours of intense basketball. The hikes were supposed to be occasions for us to do something exciting with our investigators. Only two investigators came but those activities were still good. We are planning to do that hike once a week as an activity. Yay!
Service. It's great to give, but sometimes it's tiring. This week, among other things, we helped a member fill in a trench 30 ft long and about 4 feet deep. No biggy. Then we moved dirt from one side of a cement wall to the other. Ha. But it was fun and we got to help this member.
Not a whole lot more. We had a great lesson on Monday with some investigators. We talked about the restoration. They listened well and it was just a good lesson. I am happy to be able to be able to teach, even the small number that we do. I know this church is true. And I love it.
Love you all,
Elder Squires
