Well, another week has come and gone. Transfers have passed and I'm starting to get the hang of things again. I miss Sister Challis, but she will do good over in Hilo, Hawaii. I like my new companion Sister Haws. She is a super hard worker. We have a lot of similarities but we have stuff to learn from each other which will be super good for me.
We have been starting up a lot of after baptism lessons. So all the people that have already been baptized can keep learning and prepare themselves for the temple in the future and just keep building their testimonies.
Then, we started teaching a Samoan, Ace. He is a typical Poly and loves to laugh at everything. It makes lessons a funny experience. We taught him for our second time this past week and were able to give him a Book of Mormon in Samoan. His eyes lit up when he started reading. There was no more giggling. We had him read Moroni 10:3-5 and he was so focused and was loving it. You could just see him understanding the bigger picture of what we have been trying to teach him. Sometimes I don't think he knows some of the English words we use and so he gets lost. I guess I'll just have to learn Samoan. At the end of the lesson Sister Haws invited him to be baptized and he said YES! He has a baptismal date for Oct 26. Sadly, he has decided to go to the Samoan ward in the area and so we have to hand over Ace to be taught by the Elders in that ward :( I'll still go to his baptism but I will miss teaching him.
Also, we were able to have 2 lessons with Renuma this week. We talked a lot about prayer. We had a lesson and brought a girl in our ward that is her age and it was perfect. A lot of Renuma's hesitancy about joining the church is that the church she goes to has helped her so much already in her life that she doesn't feel ready to let it go. She is praying about baptism for the 26th and is going to read more to find her answer. Then she came to church on Sunday which was so nice since she hadn't come in a few weeks.
Well, that is about it for here. I'm happy and love it. We have been working out everyday with a personal trainer. I'm sore but happy. Smiling because its a good sore. The Lord has been so good to me. I have so much to learn still and I can't believe that 9 months have already passed! Missionary work is the best work to be involved in. Just as my cousin said, it is the chance we have to lose ourselves in the Lord's work; yet, we find ourselves being filled by His love and grace. God is good always! I love you all! Poco poco yuk! Aishiteru! Alofa ia te oe! Ofa atu! Aloha wau ia oe!
Love Always,
Sister Cassidy Lang
