Reunion!
It's been a very fast week. We had interviews with President Walker on Tuesday, but they're far away because we're in Northland, so it took a large portion of our day. But with what we had left of it, we knocked on some doors and handed out three copies of the Book of Mormon! Wednesday was zone conference. It was pretty cool, but a really long one, so that was our whole day. Thursday was exchanges, and I went out with Elder Bast again! He's been called back as a zone leader up here :) we had an awesome day, and the highlight was the Facebook post and activity we did for light the world. Friday, we had an amazing lesson with Marco! We left him a Word of wisdom pamphlet last time, even though we haven't fully explained why we meet with him or what the end goal is. When we talked to him, he expressed his desire to begin living the principles already! And as we talked more, we invited him to be baptized, and he accepted! He's got a lot to work through, so we decided it would be best to have him pray for a date to work towards. As we work with Marco, I can actually see the impact that the gospel is already having in his life and it's incredible to watch. And today, we went out to some caves and a waterfall! The cave pictures will come later, but enjoy the falls :)
From Alma 50, during the many wars and contentions with the Lamanites, we read
23 But behold there never was a happier time among the people of Nephi, since the days of Nephi, than in the days of Moroni, yea, even at this time, in the twenty and first year of the reign of the judges.
Happiness is a choice, not a circumstance :) Have a good one! 1. Elder Tuaputa and Vanimi2. Piroa Falls3. The river
