Dear Family,
It was fun to hear about the reunion this past week. I'm sure it
was a blast and will be even more so when I am there next year. :) The
pictures were fun too. Thanks Eve and Rachel.
This week has been good and productive. My daughter Sister Ioane is
getting better and better in the language every day. Sometimes I'm
surprised when we get in a lesson and she starts saying sentences in
Pohnpein that I didn't even know she knew how to say.
We have a little area called Daini that is doing so well right now.
It started out with us finding one inactive family living there. We
started teaching them and from there we keep finding more and more
part-member families that are related to them in the same area. I see a
great possibility of Daini being a a super strong area in our branch;
especially because they will have the family support system.
We went into one lesson with a family thinking both the parents
were baptised. I started asking the wife questions about when she was
baptised, what she remembers, etc. With a confused look she told me she
couldn't remember anything because she was a baby. She also didn't even
know her husband was a member. They are a really nice family though and
they have 3 teenage girls that love when we come over. One of them even
joins all the lessons at her cousin's house.
We had an investigator, Brynica, join girls camp this past week and
she is convinced that she is part of this church now. :) All she needs
is parental permission to be baptised but I don't think that will be too
hard. Her parents love us, they just don't want to give up some of
their own habits.
That's all for now. Keep being the wonderful family you are.
Love you all,
Sister Beutler
