Wow this week has been full of incredible experiences and full of the spirit!!! At the beginning of our week we were able to hold a fireside that we had come up with. It was for non members and investigators and also for our less active members to come to!!! We decided to call and to invite our mission president to come and join and to be our final speaker!!! It was incredible!!! We had two recent converts of our own come to it and speak and then we had our recent convert speak!!!! Wow what an incredible spirit that was felt!!!!! I mentioned the whole experience in a recent letter that will be coming. Just know it was amazing!!!!! The Holy Ghost really does touch the lives of those who seek it!!!
After the fireside we went to one of our new investigators home!!!! So get this, Elder Felemi that is serving here, he came with me from the MTC, but his uncle is in my area!!!!!! He is less active so for the past few weeks we have been going there and helping him, but he finally asked if we would be willing to teach his wife!!!! We had no clue that she was not a member, We just thought they were both less active!!!!! She is from Fiji, so her English is really good and her Tongan is terrible!!!! So, we got to teach our first lesson together in English!!!!
We went into this lesson prepared as we ever could be!!! Hahaha, we roleplayed and roleplayed hahah in English, it was so weird to be using words like the Holy Ghost instead of laumalie Ma'oni oni hahaha.... but The lesson went beautifully. She just was filled with tears of joy the whole time!!! It was incredible, we got to help her understand so much!!!! At the beginning of the lesson we asked her if she knew what the Holy Ghost was and she had no clue, but she said that she knew her church believed about it, but didn't talk about it!!!!! It was one of my favorite lessons I have ever taught. Teaching about the light of Christ and the Holy Ghost was a lesson I will never forget! We are continuing to teach her!!!!! She is right now reading the BOM.
We also had a chance this week to speak with a less active member family. It all started with waving as we walked by, then the next day we thought we would go over and invite them to church! As we went up they immediately were so loving and friendly. They offered to feed us after church. They were not able to make it to church, but they shared with us there feelings of there hearts and the problems of why they haven't been coming. It was incredible to hear their testimonies!! This Sunday they told us they really want to come to church if we will sit by them!!! Awwww best feeling in the world!!!! This week has been filled with happiness!! I love and miss you all!!!!!
-Elder Harmon!!!
