Dear Family,
Yesterday we had district conference and Elder Ringwood came to
speak to us. On Friday, he and President Mecham had a zone conference
with all the missionaries. It was really neat to meet and hear from one
of the General Area 70. He spoke a lot to us about the prophesies of the
latter-days being fulfilled and the pace of the work progressing. Our
job as missionaries is to live what we preach and to endure to the end
even after our mission. We must always be working towards
perfection. I'm excited for the day that Pohnpei will have it's own
stake. I know there are many miracles to be seen ahead.
This week we have happened to pick up some old investigators again
just by chance and I feel like this time they have been prepared to hear
the message of the gospel. They have changed so much from just a couple
months ago when we stopped teaching them.
The couple (Tessie and Elis) that I thought were going to be so
good have now split up. Tessie went back to Chuuck and Elis moved out of
Kolonia. We don't know where he is. I guess life can throw a few curve
balls. Maybe they will find the gospel again at another time, in another
place, with a different set of missionaries.
We have two 10-year-old girls (Gloria and Cynthia) that we are
preparing to be baptized this next Saturday. It's always fun to see how
much a child's knowledge of the gospel can increase with-in only a few
weeks. When we started teaching them they didn't even know how to pray
or read the words in the Book of Mormon and now they have learned so
much. I know God loves His little ones.
Sister Varea found a paper in the church with a list of English
words the 3rd graders were supposed to memorize for school. She was just
glancing at it and she noticed an asterisk at the bottom that said
"shall" is a word no longer used in the English language. We got a good
laugh out of that.
I heard Ryan Reeder served in Pohnpei. Do any of you brothers or
sisters know him well and if so, do you want to find out the areas where
he served and who he taught etc.?
Love you all,
Sister Beutler
I was never able to send the picture of Rachel and Lorsy so I am
sending it now. They are the two Kirinese girls that just got baptized
a couple weeks ago.
