Things have been going great this past week. One of our investigators is getting baptized this Saturday, Kirata, and 26 year old lady whose mother is a member. She has such a strong testimony. I'm excited to see her enter the waters of baptism. She's way solid.
I also had the privilege of being able to see many of my investigators from Ambo get baptized. The majority of them I had been with them for the majority of their lessons. I loved teaching them and was so happy to be able to attend their baptism since the area I got moved to (Teaoraereke) happens to also hold the same chapel. It was incredible seeing the amount of growth they've gone through during my time with them, and I was especially happy to see them finally make it through. Many of them had been scheduled to be baptized while I was still in Ambo, but because of a few setback, they got pushed back. We were all way happy to see each other again.
Not much else to report on. The work is coming along well in Teaoraereke. We've been working to try to build up our teaching pool. It's also been incredible seeing just how much the Lord has helped me in this work. Yesterday I was asked to speak in sacrament meeting and give a lesson for the YSA, both of which I had to wing. I would never have been able to do any of that that beforehand. I've learned just how powerful and essential faith can be. If we have full certainty that He will help us, He will. If we have any doubt, His strengthening power will not be as present. Do everything you can to make sure your faith is a strong as it can be.
I tatangiringkami! Kam rarabwa ibukin ami ibuobuoki! Tekeraoi ngkami!
