This week has been a little rough, but, thanks to Jesus Christ, I'm still doing pretty great =)
Started out with exchanges. Sister Kaleopa is so awesome. I helped her a bunch with applying to college. She's going to BYU-Hawai'i. We also got together with the Zone leaders to plan for Zone Conference for this past Saturday. We finished planning our training, but President's flight from Chuuk got delayed so we had to postpone it. Oh well. Maybe it'll happen this week. I know everything happens for a reason, too. For some reason we needed to be out proselyting at that time maybe, or he needed to stay on Chuuk longer.
This week we found some more people to teach. We realized our teaching pool is pretty big, but because we've been doing so much finding, we haven't gone back to contact a bunch of them. So we'll focus on that this week. Friday we went to an investigators father's funeral... that was pretty sad. It was held in the Mount Caramel Catholic Cathedral. Very different from what I am used to, for sure. Then Saturday a member had a viewing for his wife before he takes her back to the Philippines to bury her. She got hit by a car a while back walking to the store =( He was so devastated. Just looking at him reminded me of that song from Les Mis, "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" "There's a grief that can't be spoken. There's a pain, goes on and on." So sad.
Church was a little rough. In summary, Emma decided to go to the Korean Church where they speak Chinese so she can understand, because it's just to hard. She knows this Church is the true church, but she cannot understand so it's very difficult to learn more about the Gospel. She still wants to one day be baptized, and she wants to continue to take lessons. One day when her English is better she'll come back here too. Or maybe someday we can have a Chinese branch, so all the Chinese can understand. That'd be super cool!
Well, that's about it for this week. I hope you all have a great week! Don't forget to read the Book of Mormon! Love you all!
