This week has been pretty good! The weather is getting pretty heavy and hot here! haha my comp doesn't like it.. but it's all good, we all get use to it! We are have a Thanksgiving dinner though!! whoop!! I'm soo excited mostly cause I missed last years! But its probably wont be the same. I'm just excited to be able to do it! :)
But my comp is doing good! He is still new of course but loves the work and we work hard!! Or try at least! haha But we've had some great success this past week we were able to visit a bunch of less actives who were all grateful for our visit!
One in particular was a family named the O'brien family! They are an interesting family... they have been on my mind the past week. But our last lesson ( which was a while ago ) went not so good.. so that was kind of my reason for not going there. But one of the members had gone and visited them as well and they expressed to them that they wanted to missionaries to visit them. So we went, it wasn't a long visit, we didn't even share anything but the short amount of time we spent there told me that the Lord was preparing their hearts to listen to the gospel again and make it apart of their lives!
After I felt a little guilt for not acting on the promptings of the spirit and putting my own feelings in front of the Lords.. it is almost that time of year again where the joyous news of the Saviors birth is retold and attitudes of life and of people are changed for a season to those that are around them!
The weeks are going fast and the time is coming when I will have to leave.. but Elder Shaw is helping me to stay focused and motivated with the work!! I will keep you all in my prayers!
Hope that you have a great week!!
Love,
ELDER FONUA
