Just to let you know I don't
have much time to email today.
We had a Zone Activity today
which was awesome! We bought a pig (not hard to find a pig for sale),
slaughtered it (Elder Siale, Elder Sande and I killed and cleaned the pig) ,
and then cooked it Umu style (an islander way). An Umu is basically an
underground oven and it took 2 1/2 hours to cook. It was tons of fun. I'll upload
as many pictures as I can, but I will have more next week.
This week was really good! It
was very busy and flew by. We had a lesson with 2 new people from Northmead. We
found them tracting the other week. Their names are Dino and Hendrico. It was
powerful. Dino just expressed how he knew Heavenly Father had led us to each
other. Immediately after the lesson he asked where the chapel was, what time
church started, and what he needed to wear. He told us to call him Sunday
morning when we wake up to remind him. On Sunday him and his brother Hendrico
showed up to church. After church they both said they loved church and they
will be back next week. Elder Siale and I are seeing many tender mercies. We will
be meeting with them this week and are really excited to see them
progress.
Also this week we went on
exchanges with the AP's. I went to their area with Elder Zimba. It was a lot of
fun and I was able to learn a lot from Elder Zimba.
The work is picking up a lot
in Northmead. The trust with members is increasing significantly. Serving in
town is definitely harder but is definitely more rewarding. I am starting to
enjoy serving in town more than township. I never thought I would ever say
that.
Elder Siale and I are having
a blast serving together. We had a ton of fun as a zone today. I wish I could
put into words how this week was. We saw the hand of the Lord in our week many
times this week. I wish I had more time but I better wrap this up.
I'm so grateful I made the
choice to serve a mission. I know the gospel is true and that it was restored
through Joseph Smith.
Love, Elder Rash
