Hi Everyone,
It’s weird to think we are already
on the last week of the Transfer! Crazy how time flies! But at the same time
the fact that I haven't had to fly out in a few weeks makes me feel like I have
been here for a while!! But this week was great!
We are preparing for the Baptism of
Arifa and Crystal which should be nice! Arifa is doing great! She has such a
strong testimony and is getting baptized next Sunday! It was going to be Saturday
but she can only have work off one of those days so of course she chose to take
off Sunday.
It’s a lot different here than in
the Islands! The problem is that baptisms come easier so the missionaries feel
like they don't need to be as obedient. I saw that back in the DR as well. In
the islands I was able to watch the old (DR) missionaries leave and E. Walker
and I Trained almost all the newbies, and it was incredible to see the
difference it made with the obedience and the work out in the islands. But here
there is definitely work to do, but I'm glad that at least I understand that
obedience brings blessings, and exact obedience brings the miracles I have seen
out in the islands.
We were talking with Arifa and she
started talking about the way she received her testimony and how she feels so
good about this decision and it was one of the most powerful moments of my
mission. I kind of suck at describing that kind of stuff but it was a really
neat moment and it has been so great to see the change that she has gone
through. She is very ready to make that covenant with the Lord and I can't
wait! Also we try as much as possible to get members to baptize investigators
but when we talked to her about that she said that she wanted me to do it and
once again it made me feel so lucky! Being a missionary really is the greatest.
It’s kinda short this week because E. Alatasi
had the flu AND an ear infection so I was really bored for a few days. But I
did learn how to solve a rubiks cube. I guess that’s how this one is going to
end.
Love, Elder Harsh
