Sister Beutler's Mission

We had a nice week. There was a funeral in one part of our area so we couldn't work much there seeing as the whole community was attending ( still haven't figured out how having a ten day drinking party is a way to honor the deceased). However, some of our investigators in Daini are making a lot of progress. One old woman, Rose, seems to have known the church is true for a long long time and has just been waiting for her husband to accept it. Her husband, Rihlan, has really softened his heart in the past couple months and has turned from a grumpy old man who hated Mormons to one that knows with all his heart that what we have taught him is true. Rihlan and Rose also have some next-door neighbors who have become quite interested. It will be good for these two older couples to be investigating together so they can lend support as they make changes in their lives.

 

Momma, you aren't supposed to get aches in your back! You've always been the strongest of all us girls. By the way, you mentioned about our year mark and I was wondering when you and dad plan on going home. Will it be before Christmas? It doesn't matter much but I'm just curious.  

 

The Varea Sisters are both going home next Sunday. I can't believe they are already almost done. We went out to Nalap island today as a zone to give them a going-away-party. It was a fun pretty island to see. I learned something new about cars today. When we got back from Nalap we found that one of the car batteries died and no one had jumper cables. Some of the local men waiting for the boat saw our predicament and switched the batteries of our two cars. It worked and they both started right up. We were lucky that the cars happened to be exactly the same.

I think that's all for this week.

Love,

Sister Beutler
